In other word, this guide could be outdated, and maybe only little still playing that game anymore. I will give the following reasons to clear everything out (I hope so) : First, I love this game! Okay, that should be obvious: I like it, I play it, and now I write a guide of it. Why would I make a guide for a game that I don't even like? If I make it, I love it. Second, there is no such "game script" guide yet on GameFAQ for this game, so it's a good chance to make and submit one. Third, Starcraft II is coming!!! As a Starcraft fans, I couldn't wait when the game is going to be completed and released. Everytime I browse starcraft2.com the more I want to play it ASAP, but when? TBA (To Be Announced) is the only answer for the mean time. To cure that desire, I decided to replay the first sequel again (Starcraft & Starcraft: Brood War), doing the entire campaign again. Based on the reason number 2, I also write a note of the script. Why? Because I would like to relive the moment I enjoy playing this game, and to enjoy the twisted story plot, the battle, the quotes, Kerrigan "-you pig!" or Mengsk "I'm not asking you to like it, I'm asking you to do it", or Raynor "Guess you wouldn't be a Confederate if you weren't a complete pain in the ass", or Duke "I'm a general, for God's sake!" and so on... It's my first time writing a guide, so I'm sorry if there are some mistakes or flaws. Should you notice something is wrong or misspelled or anything, feel free to email me at : [email protected] However,I don't check my email too often...so your email subject should indicate about this guide or anything related to it, so that I can quickly notice it (for example, mention "[starcraft]" in the subject). Also, please be patient if your email don't get replied fast enough... :) So... here's the main part of this guide! Hope you enjoy it! ||||| Tabel of Contents |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| To quickly find a mission, use the find/search command in your text browser then type the corresponing letter followed by dash and the number.

The Confederates have tightened security on all outlying systems, and it's likely that this colony will be locked-down as well. An encrypted Confederate transmission came for you while you were at dinner. Replaying transmission: Duke : Greetings, Magistrate. I'm General Edmund Duke of the Confederate Security Forces, Aplha Squadron. The Confederacy has quarantined this entire planet, and we'll proceed with the lock-down within 48 hours.

Sixteen outland stations have reported sightings of the alien invaders identified as Zerg. The Confederates have arrested all standing militia forces and continue to avoid action against the Zerg. Three stations have fallen to the Zerg already. We've been unable to locate any source of military relief except... the extremist faction known as The Sons of Korhal.

The Confederates are abandoning the planet, and so are we. However, there is one thing I'd like to do before we leave. I want you to raid this colony's Confederates outpost and retrieve whatever design or weapons' schematics that you can find in their networks.

I believe our efforts have weakened the Confederacy's grip on the fringe worlds, but our job out here isn't done yet. Lieutenant Kerrigan, my second in command, will elaborate. Kerrigan : I'll get straight to the point. Our sources tell us that Antiga Prime is ready to begin open revolt against the Confederacy. Unfortunately, the Confederates seem to be aware of this as well. They've stationed a large detachment of Alpha Squadron troops there, under the command of General Duke. Mengsk : It will be your job, Commander, to free this colony and show our good intent to the Antigan people. Lieutenant Kerrigan will help you deal with Duke's officers.

As of two hours ago, a large Confederate strike force arrived on Antiga Prime and established a base camp within our defensive perimeter. Arcturus Mengsk is calling a meeting. Mengsk : Greetings. I know you're all concerned about the Confederate strike force, but first we have a grave matter to discuss. It seems our data discs didn't hold weapon designs after all. Lieutenant Kerrigan will explain. Kerrigan : You all know that the Confederates run a program for psychically gifted humans, training them to be Ghosts. Those running the program found that the Zerg are attuned to the psychic emanations of Ghosts. Raynor : So the Zerg are here for you, darlin'? This keeps gettin' better and better. Kerrigan : Shut up. There's been a lot of secret Confederate research surrounding Ghosts and the Zerg. What we stole was a small but critical piece of the puzzle: designs for a Transplanar Psionic Waveform Emitter. The emitters broadcast the neural imprint of a Ghost, but at a much greater magnitude. These things reach accross worlds. Mengsk : The Confederacy used these Psi Emitters to lure the Zerg into isolated containment areas. Your colony-Mar Sara-Commander, was one such location. Raynor : What are you saying? Mengsk : I'm saying the Zerg are a secret weapon developed by the Confederacy. I'm saying you were all subjects of a Confederate weapons test. Just as they destroyed Korhal with nuclear weapons to establish dominance a generation ago, they would use the Zerg to put an end to their other rivals. Only this time there'd be no outrage: who could suspect the aliens were their creation? No, they'd be lauded as heroes for coming in and destroying the Zerg. It's time the Confederacy paid for its crimes. And I know just the way. Lieutenant Kerrigan is going to plant an emitter at the Confederate base camp. Commander, you will provide her with an escort. When the Zerg arrive, they'll break the blockade for us and we'll make our escape.

Before we can strike at Tarsonis itself, however, we must break through the Confederacy's most potent defenses. General Duke will brief you. Duke : I've defended Tarsonis in over thirty major battles, so I know its defenses inside and out. There are three primary orbital platforms that serve as staging areas for the Confederate fleet. If we assault the central platform, we should cause enough of a ruckus to allow a small force to break through the planetary defenses. Raynor : General, I'm impressed.

Abandon this mad scheme now, and the Conclave may show you mercy. Tassadar : Don't let him control you, Executor. The Judicator have long since steered the actions of the Templar to their own ends.It's time we acted of our own accord. Aldaris : Ah, Tassadar, have you fallen so far? To think that you were our brightest hope; our most beloved son. Now you are everything that we are not. You are lost to us. Not only have you damned yourself, but you have damned those who have followed you. Tassadar : Such is the price for our race's salvation, Judicator! I have been here with the Dark Templar, these last few months. While I helped them in their fight against the Zerg, I learned many of their secrets from their Prelate, Zeratul. Apparently, the energies which empower the Dark Templar also course through the Overmind and its Cerebrates. Aldaris : The same Cerebrate which you told us to destroy. Your advice was useless, for the creature was reincarnated before our eyes! Tassadar : Unfortunately, yes. Your attack on the Cerebrate failed because the energies that you wield are useless when used directly against the Overmind and its Cerebrates. Only the Dark Templar's power can truly harm the Zerg. That is why we must rescue Zeratul and return him to Aiur! Aldaris : You were warned, Executor. The Conclave will not be pleased. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Destroy a Terran building (why would you do that anyway? ...) *** DUKE Protoss Commander, this is General Edmund Duke of the Terran Dominion Armada. You are in violation of our air-space and have endangered human lives in your reckless attack against the Zerg. I order you to withdraw your ships immediately. If you fail to comply, I will not hesitate to open fire upon your vessels. TASSADAR General Duke, I am Tassadar, and you are well known to me. Whatever leniency I extended to you and your comrades before, may have been in error. If you persist in halting our course, we will burn your pathetic fleet down to the last man. DUKE I'm going to have to assume that was a hostile response... ||||| Mission End |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ P-06.

But I have been unable to make contact with them. I fear they may be in grave danger. We must scour this area immediately and find the Dark Templar, lest they be overcome by the Zerg. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Rescue Terran Marine (near entrance and later on) *** TERRAN MARINE Mind if we tag along? *** Bring unit to a certain area *** TERRAN MARINE Did you hear that? *** Rescue Terran Marine near the cranes (with many burrowed Zerg) *** TERRAN MARINE We gotta move! *** Bring unit to a certain area *** TERRAN MARINE What was that? *** Bring unit to Security Door computer *** Security Doors unlocked. *** Bring unit to cell door but still locked *** This door is locked. *** Bring unit to Cell Door computer *** Opening cell doors. *** Bring unit to Zeratul location *** TASSADAR Greetings, Dark One. I have come to bring you home. ZERATUL Greetings to you mighty Tassadar. I knew that you would not forsake us. For in the time that you have spent with us, you have learned to value our ways and our methods. You have learned to channel our dark power as well as that of your masters; thus you alone have found completeness beyond the scope of the Khala. But I fear that the Conclave, in It's pride, could never bring itself to welcome outcasts such as we. TASSADAR Outcasts though you may be, it is your vision and courage that may yet save our Homeworld from the Swarm. I beg of you, Zeratul, return with us to Aiur. Though they are petty, and have, in ignorance cursed your kind for generations... help me save our people. ZERATUL Since our banishment long ago, we have never failed in our responsibility to Aiur. Though it shall cause us great pain to see our homeland once more, we shall return with you, Tassadar. We will do what we can. ||||| Mission End |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ P-07.

And greetings to you, Tassadar. I am overjoyed to see you both return home in this dark hour. The Zerg have redoubled their efforts, and it seems- Tassadar : Fenix? It can't be! The Executor told me of how you fell before the Zerg. How is it that you live and breathe? Fenix : Ha hah... Well, after my unfortunate defeat, my ruined body was recovered by our brethren. I now reside within the cold, robotic shell of a Dragoon. Tassadar : Old friend-would that this never came to pass... Fenix : Nonsense! There is no shame in defeat so long as the spirit is unconquered, and I am still able to serve Aiur to a degree. But enough of this. There is much you both need to know. You have been branded as traitors by Aldaris and the Conclave. Even now they seek to arrest you and execute the Dark Templar, Zeratul. Tassadar : I never believed that they would go so far. In the face of total annihilation they still cing to their failing traditions! Fenix : Yes, and that makes them all the more dangeours. They hunt you even now, Tassadar. And though I damn myself by doing so, I shall stand by you till the end. Tassadar : En Taro Adun, noble Fenix. Executor, it seems that if our world is to live, we must protect the Dark Templar from our own brethren. Although it pains me greatly, not even the Conclave shall stand in our way. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Beginning of the mission *** ALDARIS Executor, you and the traitor Tassadar are to cease your resistance and surrender yourselves to the judgement of the Conclave. We will take the outlaw, Zeratul, into custody and deal with him as is written by the Khala's law. TASSADAR Flee back to your masters, Aldaris, and huddle with them in darkness! For your actions shall set us all unto the Zerg! *** Destroying most of the Conclave base *** TASSADAR Executor! Aldaris! This madness must stop! The sight of my brethren slaughtering one another is more than I can stand. Though I fear you would doom us all, Aldaris, I surrender myself to the Conclave. En Taro Adun, Executor. Don't give up the fight! ALDARIS Tassadar of the Templar, by your actions you have severed yourself from the mercy of your brethren. You refused to destroy the Terran worlds as was commanded. You have questioned time and time again, the sacred will of the Conclave. And you have abandoned your Homeworld in its darkest hour. Most grievous of all is that you have allied yourself with the blasphemous Dark Ones and learned to utilize their profane powers in tandem with our own! What say you, oh fallen Templar? TASSADAR Aldaris, I submit myself to the Conclave's judgement. But know this, given the same choices again, I would surely have made them. I have sacrified my rank and standing, and I have even broken our own most ancient traditions. But never think that I would, for one moment, regret my actions. For I am Templar, and above all else, I have sworn to Protect our Homeworld 'till the end. ||||| Mission End |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| INTER : Tassadar was taken into Judicator custody and sentenced to stand trial for his crimes against the Conclave. Fenix, Raynor and Tassadar's followers escaped form the Conclave's agents, as the Dark Templar slipped away in the chaos.

All seems lost now, but still we must fight on. We must find Tassadar and secure his release from the Judicator before they can execute him for treason. Without him, I fear there is no way to defeat the Zerg and their Overmind. Zeratul and his Dark Templar have vanished, leaving us to fend for ourselves. I wonder if Tassadar was mistaken to have put his trust in them. We are receiving a transmission from Captain Raynor's command ship. Raynor : This is Raynor. I'd like to help if I can. Tassadar laid it on the line for me and my crew on Char. I'd like to repay the debt. Besides, I'm a long way from home, surrounded by hostile aliens. I've got to do something. Fenix : Than you shall, bold human. You shall. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Beginning of the mission *** TIP Carriers can not attack without Interceptors. To build additional Interceptors select the Carrier and click "Build Interceptor". *** Reach the Stasis Cell perimeter *** FENIX Executor, we hve found Tassadar's Stasis Cell. We will atempt to free him now. *** Destroy the Stasis Cell *** ALDARIS I expected you to attempt to retrieve your hero. You will learn that the will of the COnclave is absolute. Make peace with Adun. ZERATUL Stay thy hand, Judicator. The stewards of Tassadar shall not fall while the Dark Templar live. Call off your guards and stand aside, and you may yet live to see another moonrise. ALDARIS I will not be addressed so by one so devoid of the Khala's light. You and your vile brethren shall die with these traitors. ZERATUL Are you truly so blinded by your vaunted religion, that you can't see the fall ahead of you? Your Conclave believes that they are winning this war, but all they've succeeded in doing is helping the Overmind to win. ALDARIS What could you possibly know about our designs, blasphemer? ZERATUL You speak of knowledge, Judicator? You speak of experience? I have journeyed through the darkness between the most distant stars. I have beheld the births of negative-suns and borne witness to the entropy of entire realities... Unto my experience, Aldaris, all that you've built here on Aiur is but a fleeting drem. A dream from which your precious Conclave shall awaken, finding themselves drowned in a greater nightmare.

"SHADOW HUNTERS" ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Protoss Command Ship Gantrithor ] [ Low orbit over the planet Aiur ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] ||||| Mission Briefing ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Objectives : - Use Zeratul to destroy the Zerg Cerebrates - Zeratul and Fenix must survive Tassadar : En Taro Adun Executor! My gratitude to you, for having secured my release, knows no bounds. By all the gods, we may win yet! The time has come to let loose the fury of the Dark Templar. Zeratul, perhaps the time has come to tell our friends of the foe we face. Zeratul : Indeed. When I slew the Cerebrate on Char, I touched briefly with the essence of the Overmind. In that instant, my mind was filled with its thoughts, and I tell you now our worst fears have come true. The Zerg were indeed created by the ancient Xel'Naga, the same beings that empowered us in our infancy. But the Overmind grew beyond their constraints. and has at last come to finish the experiments they began so long ago. Tassadar : So you see my friends, we fight not only to save Aiur, but all creation! If we fall to the Zerg then the Overmind will run rampant throughout the stars, consuming all sentience-all life. It is up to us to put and end to this madness, once and for all. Fenix : Our forces shall engage the primary Zerg Hive clusters in an attempt to weaken their defenses. Once their numbers have thinned out, Zeratul and his companions can infiltrate the clusters and assassinate the Cerebrates. Adun willing, the Cerebrates' deaths will distract the Overmind long enough for us to assault it directly. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| [ no script exist during the mission ] ||||| Mission End |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ P-10. "EYE OF THE STORM" ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Protoss Command Ship Gantrithor ] [ Low orbit over the planet Aiur ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] ||||| Mission Briefing ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Objectives : - Destroy the Overmind - Tassadar, Raynor, and Zeratul must survive Fenix : Executor, our plan worked perfectly. The Zerg defenses are broken, and the way to the Overmind is laid bare! The time for our stand has come. Tassadar : Indeed. My friends, this is our final hour. Not all of us may survive the coming conflict. Yet, death may be a blessing should we fail here. We seek now to destroy a foe that has ravaged its way across the universe consuming all in its path. And now it has reached the end of its long journey. The Overmind has come to destroy all that we hold dear and assimilate us into itself. And I say to thee, this shall not come to pass! Aiur shall not fall! Executor, I stand ready! Zeratul : As do I. Raynor : Well, I guess all I have left is to see this through. The Zerg have taken everything from me: my home, my family, my friends. I know that nothing I do can bring those things back, but I'll be damned if I just sit on my hands and wait for the end. I want a piece of 'em, all right. I'm in. Tassadar : Then let our actions speak for us! For Adun! For Aiur! ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Beginning of the mission *** ALDARIS Executor. Tassadar. This comes too late to you. But the Conclave has witnessed your defeat of the Cerebrate. They know now that they cannot deny the necessity or the valiancy of your actions. We sought to punish you, while it was we who were in error. You represent the greatest in us all, and all our hopes go with you. EN TARO ADUN, brave Sons of Aiur! RAYNOR Wow. Does that mean they're goin' to send some back-up for us? *** Successfuly destroy the Overmind (its outer shell only though...) *** TASSADAR Executor, the Overmind has been weakened, but I fear we have sustained severe damage ourselves. I will steer the Gantrithor into a collision course with the Overmind. If I can channel enough of the Dark Templars' energy through the hull of the Gantrithor, I should be able to bring swift death to the accursed abomination. Remember us, Executor. Remember what was done here today. May Adun watch over you. ||||| Mission End |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| EPILOGUE As the chaotic, swirling energies subsided, a heavy silence settled over the battlefields of Aiur. Due to Tassadar's noble sacrifice, the Overmind was now dead and the Zerg Swarms were scattered and broken. But as the heroes surveyed their once glorius homeland, they realized that their victory had cost them all but their lives. Aiur was left nothing more than a smoldering ruin. Those few Protoss who survived the final battle could only wonder what the future would hold for their race. And far away, on the distant planet Char, Kerrigan, the self-styled Queen of Blades, knew that the time of her ascension was at hand. ||||| Thanks & Special Thanks |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| - GameFAQs for accepting and hosting this guide - Blizzard for their marvelous game - myself for making this guide ||||| Copyright |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| The only web site that this guide is available on is GameFAQs.com.
