StarCraft takes place in the 26th-century Koprulu Sector, where human colonists cut off from Earth face two alien powers. The Zerg swarm attacks Terran worlds to assimilate their inhabitants’ psionic potential, while the Protoss destroy infested colonies to stop its spread.
Players command each of the three species through separate story-driven single-player campaigns. The Terrans are human colonists, the Zerg assimilate other organisms, and the technologically advanced Protoss wield psionic abilities. Each faction has its own units, structures and strategic options. The game also includes competitive multiplayer via Battle.net.
