She is caught between the Zergs who are overrunning the region and the Protoss who are determined to eradicate the Zerg, with the local farmers – her community – caught in the crossfire. The Raiders include a former Dominion psychic assassin (Spectre) called Gabriel Tosh, while Matt Horner is Raynor’s second in command.Īmongst others, they are joined by Ariel Hanson, a researcher on the Zerg and the leader of a small farming community. They start their battle on Mar Sara, slowly wresting control from Dominion, meeting the locals and coincidentally finding a piece of a mysterious artefact along the way. Raynor gathers together Raynor’s Raiders, a group of like-minded rebels to fight their way out from under Dominion’s thumb. Raynor is feeling guilt over the disappearance of Sara Kerrigan (some events occurred in the previous game, but enough exposition is given through cut-scenes and voice-overs that new players can follow along readily), and as the story unfolds, he hopes he might be able to enjoy something of a redemption arc. Jim Raynor is a bitter and cynical human who is concerned that the Terran Dominion has become too powerful, neglecting inter-species watchfulness in favour of subduing and stamping out their enemies. (See below for more on the three species in the games). This game is set four years after the final Brood War game, during which time the Terrans have become the dominant species in the region.
