A fragile ceasefire exists between the terrans, protoss, and zerg, but that hasn't stopped them from finding new ways to spill each other's blood.

On a fringe world called Adena, a corrupt Dominion commander risks conflict between the three races for his own insatiable greed. The people who pay the price for his avarice are frontline grunts Elms, Contreras, and Yong. But for them, Adena is only the beginning of a long journey: one filled with deadly black-market deals, zerg infestation, and Elm's burgeoning psionic abilities.

If they can all make it through in one piece, they might have a chance to finally become more than pawns in someone else's game.

StarCraft is a military science fiction media franchise created by Chris Metzen and James Phinney and owned by Blizzard Entertainment. The series, set in the beginning of the 26th century, centres on a galactic struggle for dominance among four species--the adaptable and mobile Terrans, the everevolving insectoid Zerg, the powerfully enigmatic Protoss, and the "god-like" Xel'Naga creator race-- in a distant part of the Milky Way galaxy known as the Koprulu Sector.
