The Battle of Aiur

Against terrible odds Executor Urust lead a sizable force of Carriers against Zerg reinforcements, shielding the Overmind encampment from the merciless enemy. Wave after wave of suicidal Zerg threw themselves against the air fleet, decimating airships one after another. Warriors fell below to rampaging Zerglings, innumerable.

It was time to die a glorious death for Aiur.

However, that was not to be; as the plating around Urust peeled away to the point of destruction a column of light overshadowed the battlefield, its source the Overmind itself. With Tassadar's noble sacrifice Urust's Carrier was spared from destruction, as was the remains of the Fleet of the Executor.

But that battle was only a prelude.

The UED Invasion

Attempting to seize control after the Overmind's death Daggoth and Kerrigan locked horns, waging their battles across Char in a bid for dominance. Using his terrible cunning to his advantage Daggoth tricked several minor Cerebrates into merging into a new Overmind, the symbol of authority of the Zerg. What this new Overmind did not know was that it was the puppet of Daggoth and the other ancient Cerebrates.

This puppet government, however, was unprepared for the onslaught of a new wave of Terran enemy: the United Earth Directorate. Time and again Daggoth's Zerg suffered defeat, pushing them all the way back to Char. The hour of defeat at hand, the UED succeeded in capturing the Overmind puppet.

It was time to lose complete freedom.

However, that was not to be; on the world of Aiur Cerebrates Alhonoth and Nargil succeeded in capturing several Protoss weapons and artifacts, ones that could guarantee the Zerg's future in the wake of this setback. With renewed determination Daggoth's faction retreats back toward the Galactic Core, preparing for the day for which they could reclaim the Koprulu Sector for themselves.

But that battle was only a prelude.

A Vision of the Future

An unholy alliance of Zerg and Protoss has emerged with the combined strength to threaten all! Zargil, a wicked Cerebrate, with an infested Protoss under his control, has devised a method by which to guarantee the future of the Zerg-- by securing the past of Terrans' history and preventing them from ever interfering in the Battle of Aiur.

Only an equally-desperate alliance of Zerg and Protoss can put an end to this madness, but ancient rivalries die hard.
