What is the background of the game StarCraft 2?

Evacuate Aiur

Although Tassadar's brave self-sacrifice destroyed the Overlord, countless remaining Zerg are still raging on the planet Aiur, and are likely to engulf the remaining protoss. . Zeratul opened the planet Shakuras, the Dark Templar's self-built home, to his compatriots as a refuge. Executor Artanis and the surviving members of the Secret Council made a difficult decision to join forces. Their common goal is to save as many gods as possible.

Jim Raynor's troops and the Protoss fought their way to the ancient Xel'Naga Space Gate. Through this ancient ruins, Zeratul opened another path to the planet Shakuras. aisle. During the battle, Raynor and some of the protoss separated from the main team. Fortunately, Artanis and Zeratul still led most of the protoss to safely reach the planet Shakuras through the space gate.

But they found that some Zerg also followed them through the portal. The newly evacuated refugees and the Dark Templar unite to fight against the invaders. At the same time, Raynor's troops and a small number of protoss chose to stay on the planet El and closed the space gate there to ensure that no more Zerg would invade the planet Shakuras. With no way out, this brave force was destined to be destroyed.

A Fragile Alliance

The grieving Dark Templar introduced the visitors to the elder of Shakuras, matriarch Rezegal. The current top priority of the Protoss is to eliminate the Zerg that is rampant on the planet Shakuras. Reizegar claimed that a Xel'Naga temple on the planet could purify the world, but activating it required two crystals, Kalis and Ula, but these two crystals disappeared long ago.

Kerrigan appeared unexpectedly, and she told the cautious protoss that with the demise of the Overlord, she was no longer the cold-blooded killing machine. But the remaining cerebrates have begun to merge, with the intention of creating a new Overlord in order to quickly control the entire Zerg population and re-transform Kerrigan into a minion of the Overmind.

Kerrigan offered to help retrieve the Kallis and Ula Crystals, and Rizegor accepted her help despite the objections of Artanis and Zeratul. The protoss warriors and Kerrigan first set out for the planet Brysis, where they successfully found the Ula Crystal. On the way, they encountered strange human forces claiming to be the United Earth Directorate (UED). The Protoss refused to surrender and escaped the UED's pursuit.

The next stop on the mission to recover the crystal is the planet Char, where the Kalis crystal is located in a dangerous zone for the growth of the new master. In a race against time against the new Zerg Overlord, they successfully retrieved the Kalis Crystal and returned to Shakuras.

The Tragedy of Shakuras

On the planet, some refugees from Aiur turned against their Dark Templar allies. Already troubled, Reizeger had no intention of negotiating and ordered the Dark Templar to eliminate any opposition. Zeratul was torn about this, but he and his warriors carried out the order. After the rebellion was quelled, the Dark Templar demanded that the leader of the rebels surrender, but he was refused. The rebels claimed that the other protoss were doomed to destruction and that Redzegal must be hiding some ulterior secret.

Before the rebel leader could explain his reasons further, Kerrigan and her Zerg minions brutally murdered him. Zeratul angrily ordered Kerrigan to leave Shakuras. She gladly accepted it and told him that this alliance had helped her achieve her goal. The cerebrates had always refused to obey her leadership, and now the Dark Templar had helped her destroy them all.

The Protoss can only prevent the Zerg from destroying everything by releasing the powerful power of the Xel'Naga Temple. Even though they know that doing so will further help Kerrigan, the Protoss have no choice but to go ahead with the plan. Artanis and Zeratul carried the crystal to the top of the temple, activating the huge energy of the temple and wiping out all the Zerg on Shakuras.

Discovering the Psionic Disruptor

The United Earth Council has been closely monitoring the human settlement in the Koprulu Sector for a long time. With the emergence of the Protoss and the Zerg, the management of the United Earth Council believed that the time was ripe to re-rule their distant cousins.

The United Earth Council dispatched an expedition fleet led by Admiral Dugar. His mission is to overthrow the Terran Dominion and capture the new Overlord. First, with the assistance of Samir Duran and his Federation Resistance Army, the United Earth Council fleet captured the planet Brysis as a stop and supply point. Dugar's tactical adviser, Lieutenant General Stukov, gathered Duran's troops here.

Next, Dugar conducted a raid on the Dalarian Shipyards, capturing many of the Dominion battlecruisers docked there. Although Union reinforcements led by General Edmund Duke arrived in time, they were ultimately outnumbered and forced to retreat. The victorious United Earth Council destroyed the shipyard and recruited the remaining Dalarian defense personnel.

The United Earth Council discovered a secret weapon on the planet Tarsonis: a psi jammer, which can be used to block Zerg communications. If the Dominion controls this weapon, the United Earth Council will not be able to exploit the Zerg as planned.

Therefore, Duran proposed destroying the weapon, and Dugar agreed to the proposal despite Stukov's repeated objections.

Duran collaborated with the United Earth Council Army to obtain the psi jammer, but several United Earth Council ghost agents arrived and claimed that Stukov had ordered them to dismantle the device. Duran had no choice but to hand over the jammer to them.

Stukov's Challenge

The United Earth Council fleet marched towards Korhal IV, the capital of the Dominion. During the attack on Korhal's capital, Augsgrad, Dugar's fleet eventually surrounded Mengsk's remaining forces. Just as United Earth Council forces prepared to arrest the deposed Emperor, Jim Raynor arrived aboard Mengsk's old command ship Hyperion, the same squad of Protoss. Raynor, his Protoss allies, and Mengsk teamed up to escape the siege, and the United Earth Council launched a fierce pursuit.

Raynor and Mengsk arrived at the Aiur planet and prepared to evacuate through the space gate. The United Earth Council followed them one after another. The energy of the portal attracted attacks from the surrounding Zerg. At this moment, Stukov was surprised to find that Duran's troops had withdrawn from the battlefield, which exposed the United Earth Council forces directly to the Zerg offensive. Unable to resist the Zerg and capture Mengsk at the same time, Stukov had to order the troops to retreat. Stukov himself unexpectedly went to the planet Brysis.

Dugar was confused when he received the news that Raynor and Mengsk had escaped and that Stukov had given up fighting on the planet Aiur. When the United Earth Council detected the presence of a psionic disruptor on the planet Brysis, Duran asserted that Stukov had recreated the device on Tarsonis in order to sabotage the United Earth Council's plan. Faced with this situation, Dugar had no choice but to order Duran to find and execute Stukov.

Duran shot and wounded Stukov and then ran away. The seriously injured Stukov told Dugar that Duran was the real traitor and was likely to have been infected by the Zerg. It was Duran who let Mengsk and Raynor go, and suggested destroying the psi jammer. The reason why Stukov reassembled the jammer was because he firmly believed that this device was the key to saving humanity from the Zerg invasion. .

Dugar was convinced by Stukov's words, and he set up a fortress in Blasis, and then led the United Earth Council fleet to the planet Char. United Earth Council forces broke through the new Overlord's defenses and injected them with neurocontrol agents in order to take control.

Controlling the Insect Swarm

The control agent began to take effect, when Duran and the Queen of Blades suddenly appeared in front of the United Earth Council. Kerrigan introduced himself as the leader of the Zerg and that Duran was indeed infected. Dugar threatened to use a psionic disruptor to break her control of the Zerg, but Kerrigan said she would destroy the weapon. She thanked Dugar for executing Stukov and left. In one part, Arcturus is a 7-year-old child who is often smart and has a strong sense of rebellion against his father. Angus hopes that Arcturus can be his successor, but Arcturus has no interest in politics and only wants to be an explorer. At the beginning of the first part, Arcturus sneaks to his villa simply to anger his father and prove that he can defeat the security system. However, at the same time, the Federation assassinated the family. With the help of the family's security chief Achton Feld, the Mengsk family barely escaped death. Angus and Ailin Pasteur (the leader of Umoja) conspired together to fight against the increasing oppression of the Federation. Angus shouted excitedly that as long as the Old Family continues to control the federal government, corruption will never stop being eliminated. Ailin agrees to covertly fund Angus' terrorist activities, but will not openly support them. When Angus caught Arcturus secretly infiltrating, he explained to his son what was going to happen, treating him like an adult. But Arcturus kept saying that he couldn't understand why his father wanted to kill people, so Angus could only continue to treat him as a child. During the attack, Arcturus met Ailin's daughter Juliana and proposed to her. When the Federation Marine Corps visited Arcturus' academy, Arcturus came up with the idea of ??expanding his exploration experience while experiencing the attractions of the galaxy, and eventually signed up to serve with the Corps. On the day Angus delivered the dissolution speech to the senators of Korhal, Arcturus showed his mother the service agreement and left the auditorium during his father's speech, leaving his mother crying quietly behind him.

The title of the second part is "Arcturus". This part begins after Arcturus served for one year and became a lieutenant in the army. Half a year later, he participated in his first combat mission with the squadron. He called his squadron "Dominion Section". Under the command of Captain Angelina Emillian, whom she met in the academy several years ago, the Dominion Section Squadron's mission is to combat illegal mining operations and seize control of the mining areas for the Federation.

When Emillian was wounded, Arcturus took over the attack and successfully forced the illegal miners to surrender, although the Federation forces suffered some casualties. When Arcturus discovered that the miners' claims to the area were legal, he spoke up and believed that the miners should be protected, but Emillin ordered him to obey and remain silent. Similar situations occurred many times since then. Arcturus begins an exploration operation, inspecting mining teams sent by the Federation after the battle. Arcturus returned to Korhal to visit his family, but the atmosphere remained tense. He walked out of the house after a midnight argument with his father. Arcturus goes on a date with Juliana, and the two consummate their relationship. Readers are left to imagine. Arcturus was later promoted to captain and assigned to work under Commander Edmund Duke. The Dominion Section's performance on the battlefield satisfied Edmund Duke and was incorporated into the Alpha Squadron, but Arcturus didn't care. The attack on the Kel-Morian mining operation was so bad that heavy firepower was deployed, and finally battlecruisers came out to support Kel-Morian. Arcturus and Duke were forced to retreat, and the Guild War broke out. A few years later, when Arcturus was in his late 20s and almost 30s, he no longer believed in the Federation's reasons for war and resigned to start his own personal exploration activities. When Arcturus discovered a rich mine and was rich enough to live the rest of his life, he was contacted by Ailin Pasteur and urged him to return to Umoja. Arcturus met Juliana again, and his 7-year-old son, Valerian.

The last part is called "Valerian". Arcturus was shocked by the fact that he had a son, and had a quarrel with Juliana. But he eventually took on the responsibility of being a father and no longer found the role of father unattractive. Alilin also told Arcturus that the planet was effectively placed under wartime law after his father got into trouble on Korhal and broke Federation law. Arcturus spent some time with his son Valerian, although he thought the child's interests were different from what he considered a normal child. Although Arcturus pretended to like Valerian's interests, one time when he asked Valerian to shoot a rifle, Valerian had an accident and wounded himself. Arcturus and Juliana quarreled again. Arcturus called Valerian a "nerdy, weak sissy", while Juliana said that Arcturus was as rough as Angus back then. The argument was interrupted by a live transmission from Achton Feld, which informed Arcturus that his family had been killed. Arcturus swore that he would reduce the Federation to ashes, and told Juliana and Valerian to escape before they were targeted by the Federation. Valerian and his mother were separated while Arcturus formed the Sons of Korhal to rebel against the federal government. Vakerian regards his father as his idol and continues to exercise and conduct combat training, determined to live up to the name of the Mengsk family. Later, Kirhal was destroyed, and Valerian's idealized Arcturus gradually faded as he grew older. His mother was dying of cancer. After this Mengsk found them. Although at this time Valerian was still brooding over the fact that Mengsk was not with her when her mother died, and the incident that caused them to flee in the Federation. Arcturus admitted to his son that he had made a mistake and said that his son could inherit his name. He hopes Valerian can inherit his career. And when Valerian asked Arcturus, what would happen if he didn't plan to inherit Arcturus. Arcturus's answer was the same as his father's. After the fall of the Federation, Arcturus retook Valerian and Juliana to live under the care of Ailin Pasteu on the planet Umoja. However, at this time, Samir Duran planned and Angelina Emillian directly directed an assassination against them. This attack was similar to the assassination at the beginning of the novel, and the Arcturus family narrowly escaped death. Arcturus kills Emillian, and before Emillian dies, she says that the UED will kill him after she dies, although Arcturus does not yet know what the UED stands for at this time. Later in the novel, Arcturus says nothing at Juliana's funeral, and Valerian doesn't ask a word. After the funeral, the father and son had a drink. Arcturus told Valerian that he was proud of him, but Valerian told him that he would not live in Arcturus's shadow. Arcturus said he had never expected that, and that their conversation reminded him of his past relationship with Angus.

Arcturus said that fate made them repeat the mistakes of their fathers, and Valerian said that he would not repeat the mistakes of Arcturus' life.

Arcturus agreed and said
