Introduction

Starcraft SC1 Cover1
The StarCraft franchise is a series of real-time strategy (RTS) computer games developed by Blizzard Entertainment. Featuring a space opera setting, the main storyline revolves around a war between three galactic species: the protoss, the zerg and the terrans. The original StarCraft was the best selling video game of 1998, with the Brood War expansion following soon after. Starting in 2010, StarCraft II was released as a trilogy of "chapters", each focusing on one of the three species, with the mission pack Nova Covert Ops following in 2016. The franchise has also expanded into books, comics, boardgames and other licensed merchandise.
