In the distant future, a small group of human exiles have been doomed to fight for survival on the edge of the galaxy. Through military strength, espionage, and deceit, a unified Terran government has maintained an uneasy peace, but as resources and fuel run short the Confederate nations find themselves looking towards the rich worlds of their alien neighbors, the enigmatic Protoss. To further complicate matters, it seems that a previously unknown species-- the Zerg-- have entered Protoss space and are destroying everything in their path. The time for war has come.

When you're ready for the ultimate challenge, try taking on up to seven other players in a variety of different game types-- including custom scenarios. Battle.net games will also feature a built-in ladder system, so you can compare your skills to gamers from around the world. (less)
