这集可以看出凯瑞根是怎麽成为宇宙中最恶婊子..(By Glynnis Talken) The Story So Far:Part 2: The Broood War 怒火燎原 The evacuation of Aiur 撤离翁行星 Tassadar's brave sacrifice had destroyed the Overmind, but countless rampaging zerg remained on Aiur and would surely overrun the surviving protoss. Zeratul offered sanctuary on Shakuras, the adopted home of the dark templar. Although the decision was difficult, Executor Artanis and the surviving members of the shattered Conclave agreed that their first duty was to save as many lives as possible. 虽然塔沙达的英勇牺牲摧毁了主宰, 但无数地不受控制的异形仍然在翁行星上流窜, 残存的 神族将不可避免地遭受毁灭. 赛拉图提议前往影樱行星寻求庇护, 也就是流亡暗影圣堂的家 园. 纵使这样的决定是难以让人接受, 执行官亚坦尼斯和与毁坏的合议庭残存成员们, 仍然 同意目前他们的第一要务, 是尽可能地挽救神族命脉. Jim Raynor's forces and the protoss cut a path through the zerg to reach an ancient xel'naga warp gate, the relic of an earlier age. Using the gate, Zeratul opened a connection to a second gate on Shakuras. During the battle, Raynor and some of the protoss were cut off, but Artanis and Zeratul led many other protoss through the gate to safety on Shakuras. 吉姆雷纳的武力和神族守护着远古赛尔纳迦传送门, 一个早期年代的遗物, 并切断了异形前 往的路径. 透过传送门, 赛拉图开启了在影樱上面第二个传送门, 并建立起连系. 在战斗之 中, 雷纳和一些神族被孤立了, 但亚坦尼斯和赛拉图仍然带领相当数量的神族经由传送门安 然抵达影樱行星. To their horror, they found that the zerg were following them through the gate. The evacuees joined forces with their dark brethren and fought the invasion. Meanwhile, Raynor's forces and a handful of protoss chose to remain on Aiur and shut down its warp gate, ensuring that no further zerg reinforcements could reach Shakuras. With no means of escape, this brave band seemed doomed. 不过他们担心的事情还是发生了. 他门发现有些异形随着他们穿越传送门. 翁行星上的神族 与他们的暗影同胞协力对抗异形入侵. 此时, 雷纳的武力与少数的神族选择留在翁行星上并 且关闭了他们附近的传送门, 以确保异形不会再派出更多的援军到影樱行星上. 在没有逃脱 的机会下, 这群英勇的战士看来注定覆灭. Unlikely allies 不受欢迎的盟友 Sorrowfully the dark templar led their visitors to meet Raszagal, the ancient matriarch who ruled Shakuras. The protoss' first priority was to battle the spreading zerg infestation of Shakuras. Raszagal declared that a xel'naga temple on Shakuras could cleanse the planet, but its activation required two crystals- -the Khalis and the Uraj--that had been lost long ago. 忧心忡忡的暗影圣堂引领着他们的访客去觐见拉兹葛, 也就是自远古以来统治影樱行星的女 族长. 神族首先要做的事情就是击退在影樱上面逐渐扩张的异形寄生. 拉兹葛宣称一座赛尔 纳迦的神庙能够净化整座星球, 但要启动它需要两个水晶 - 卡莉丝和乌拉杰 - 很久以前就 不知所踪了. Raszagal "Very well, Kerrigan. We shall hear what you have to say. But be warned: We will not suffer your treachery here. " 拉兹葛 "很好, 凯瑞根. 我们会听看看你想要讲的东西. 不过警告你: 我们不会容许你背信弃义." Kerrigan arrived unexpectedly and told the wary protoss that with the Overmind slain, she was no longer the merciless killer she had been. However, the surviving cerebrates had merged to create a new Overmind that would soon control the Swarm and transform Kerrigan back into the Overmind's pawn. 凯瑞根在无预警的情况下抵达了影樱, 并且告诉对她存有戒心的神族, 在主宰死後, 她不再 是像以前一样的无情杀手. 然而, 存活下来的脑虫们已经融合成一个新的主宰, 很快地就会 重新掌握群体, 并且把凯瑞根再度转变成异形的爪牙. Kerrigan offered to help retrieve the Khalis and Uraj, and Raszagal accepted, overriding the objections of Artanis and Zeratul. The protoss heroes and Kerrigan departed for the planet Braxis, where they secured the Uraj. In the process they encountered an unfamiliar terran force identifying itself as the United Earth Directorate (UED). Ordered to surrender, the protoss refused and eluded capture. 凯瑞根提供协助取回卡莉丝和乌拉杰. 拉兹葛不顾亚坦尼斯和赛拉图的反对, 同意了凯瑞根 的提议. 神族的英雄们和凯瑞根在布拉西斯星球上着陆, 并收回了乌拉杰. 过程中他们遭遇 到不同於以往的人类武力, 宣称自己为地球联合理事会(UED). 神族被要求投降并卸除武力, 但仍然巧妙地逃过围捕. Their next destination was Char, where the protoss located the Khalis, dangerously near the developing Overmind. Pitting themselves against the zerg and the young Overmind, Kerrigan and the protoss retrieved Khalis and returned to Shakuras. 他们下一个目的地则是殎, 神族确认了卡莉丝水晶地点, 相当危险地就在发展中的主宰附近 . 经过与新生的主宰和异形互相角力, 凯瑞根和神族终究还是成功回收卡莉丝并返回影樱. Tragedy on Shakuras 影樱的悲剧 There they found that some of the Aiur evacuees had turned against their dark templar allies. Already in the midst of a crisis, Raszagal was in no mood to negotiate and ordered the dark templar to vanquish the dissenters. Zeratul found the command troubling, but he and his allies obeyed. As the traitors' resistance crumbled, the dark templar demanded that the rebel leader surrender. He refused, claiming that the other protoss were doomed and Raszagal was hiding a loathsome secret. 他们发现有些翁行星的幸存者转而对抗暗影圣堂与同盟. 在这个危机之下, 拉兹葛无意进行 妥协, 并下令暗影圣堂消灭这些异议份子. 赛拉图对於这个要求非常为难, 但他与同盟仍然 遵从旨意. 当反抗军武力溃灭时, 暗影圣堂要求叛军首领投降. 叛军首领拒绝了, 并宣称其 他的神族危如累卵, 以及拉兹葛藏着一个不可告人的秘密. Zeratul "There is something amiss here. The Matriarch has always been a wise and gentle soul. Though there is some merit in her decision, this is very unlike her." 赛拉图 "我感觉事情有些不对劲. 女族长一直以来都是睿智且宽容的. 虽然她的决定不无根据, 但 这真的非常不像她." Artanis "That may well be... But right now we have a friend to kill. May Adun forgive us . " 亚坦尼斯 "你说得没错..但现在我们得去除掉一个朋友. 希望亚顿能原谅我们." Before the traitor could explain his accusation, Kerrigan and her zerg minions slew him. Zeratul angrily ordered Kerrigan to leave Shakuras. She left willingly , telling him that their alliance had already achieved her goal. The cerebrates had refused to follow her leadership, and now with the dark templar's assistance , they were all but destroyed. 在这名叛徒更进一步厘清他的指控之前, 凯瑞根与她的异形军团杀害了这名叛徒. 赛拉图十 分愤怒地要求凯瑞根离开影樱行星. 她非常乐意地照办, 并且告诉赛拉图这个同盟已经达到 了她的目的. 那些不服从她指挥的脑虫, 在暗影圣堂的协助下, 现在已经被全部剿灭了. The zerg would overwhelm Shakuras unless the protoss unleashed the xel'naga temple's power. Thus, the desperate protoss carried out their plan despite knowing that they were further aiding Kerrigan by doing so. Artanis and Zeratul carried the crystals to the temple's summit, channeled the temple's vast energies, and obliterated all zerg on Shakuras. 如果神族再不释放塞尔纳迦神庙的力量, 异形即将会征服影樱行星. 於是, 绝望的神族即使 不知道这样会不会继续帮助到凯瑞根, 也只能继续原订计画. 亚坦尼斯和赛拉图携带着水晶 来到神庙顶端, 调整神庙的庞大能源, 并且消灭所有在影樱行星上的异形. Discovery of the psi disrupter 心灵增幅器的发现 For some time the UED had kept a close watch over the terran colonies in the Koprulu sector. With the discovery of the protoss and zerg, the Directorate's ruling council decided it was time to reestablish control over their distant cousins. UED保持对於克普鲁星区人类殖民地的近距离观察已经有一段时间了. 在发现神族与异形之 後, 理事会的统治议庭决定该是对这些遥远的表亲, 重新建立起统治权的时候. The UED dispatched an expeditionary fleet led by Admiral DuGalle. His orders were to overthrow the Terran Dominion and capture the young Overmind. First, with the assistance of Samir Duran and his Confederate resistance forces, the UED fleet secured the planet Braxis as a staging point. Vice Admiral Stukov, DuGalle's tactical advisor, recruited Duran's group into the UED. UED派遣了一只远征舰队, 由杜高乐上将所率领. 他收到的命令是推翻人类帝国, 并且捕捉 新生的主宰. 首先, 在山米尔.杜兰以及他的联邦反抗武力协助下, UED舰队收复了布拉西斯 行星, 并建立起前线阵地. 斯图可夫中将, 杜高乐的战术顾问, 将杜兰的部队收编进UED里. Next, DuGalle launched a surprise attack on the Dylarian shipyards, commandeering many of the Dominion's battlecruisers docked there. Dominion reinforcements arrived, led by General Edmund Duke, but they were outgunned and ultimately retreated. The triumphant UED laid waste to the shipyards and conscripted the remaining Dylarian defenders. 接着, 杜高乐对位於戴拉利安的船坞发动了奇袭, 并夺取了许多帝国锚泊在那边的战斗巡洋 舰. 艾德蒙.杜克将军所率领的帝国援军前往救援, 但最终他们不敌UED舰队只好撤退. 胜利 的UED舰队废弃了船坞, 并徵招残存的戴拉利安防卫武力. UED forces learned of a mysterious weapon on the planet Tarsonis: the psi disrupter, which could block zerg communications. If the Dominion secured the weapon, the UED would be unable to use the zerg as planned. Thus, Duran recommended destroying the weapon, and DuGalle agreed despite Stukov's objections. UED武力知悉有一种神秘的武器在塔桑妮丝行星上面: 心灵增幅器, 足以阻绝异形彼此间的 通讯. 如果帝国成功回收它, UED可能无法按照计画中利用异形. 於是, 杜兰建议摧毁这项 武器, 而杜高乐无视斯图可夫的反对, 同意了这个行动. Duran and other UED forces captured the psi disrupter, but several UED ghosts quickly arrived and announced that Stukov had ordered them to dismantle the device. Duran had little choice but to relinquish the weapon. 杜兰和其他的UED武力占据了心灵增幅器, 但许多UED的鬼子迅速抵达现场并且宣布斯图可夫 的命令, 要求他们拆卸这个装置. 杜兰只能服从并且交出此项武器. Stukov's defiance 斯图可夫的抗命 The UED fleet headed to the planet Korhal IV, capital of the Dominion. Attacking Korhal's capital city, Augustgrad, DuGalle's fleet eventually surrounded the remainder of Mengsk's forces. UED forces prepared to take the deposed emperor into custody, but Jim Raynor arrived in Mengsk's old battlecruiser, the Hyperion , along with a small protoss fleet. Moments later, Raynor, his protoss allies, and Mengsk had escaped, and the UED fleet was in hot pursuit. UED舰队朝向克哈四号行星, 也就是帝国的首都而去. 在攻击克哈的首都城市, 奥古斯都格 勒之後, 杜高乐的舰队终於将曼斯克残存兵力团团包围. UED武力准备好把这个逊位的皇帝 送进大牢时, 吉姆.雷纳却驾着曼斯克过去的旗舰, 海迫利安, 以及一小群神族舰队前来. 雷纳, 以及它的神族盟友, 架着曼斯克逃离, 而UED则展开了激烈追捕. DuGalle "Hah! The man who crowns himself 'Emperor' speaks to me of daring? You have far outlived your reputation citizen Mengsk. Captain, prepare to take the Emperor into custody." 杜高乐 "哈! 这个自己加冕"称帝"的家伙居然质疑我竟然敢动他? 你已经过太久不符合你身分的生 活了, 公民曼斯克. 舰长, 准备把这个皇帝打入大牢." The UED tracked Raynor and Mengsk to Aiur, where the fugitives activated a warp gate in preparation for an escape. The gate's energies incited the surrounding zerg to attack, and to Stukov's shock, Duran's forces moved out of position, leaving UED forces on the planet open to attack by the Swarm. Unable to hold off the zerg and recapture Mengsk at the same time, Stukov withdrew his forces to rejoin the fleet. Stukov himself abruptly departed for Braxis. UED追寻雷纳以及曼斯克莱到了翁行星, 这些逃犯们启动了一个传送门并准备逃离. 传送门 能源引起了周遭异形的攻击. 斯图可夫震惊於杜兰的部队离开了岗位, 让行星上的UED武力 被迫与群体开战. 在无法同时抵抗异形并且逮捕曼斯克的情况下, 斯图可夫撤出了他的部队 并且回到舰队. 斯图可夫也突然地离开了布拉西斯行星. DuGalle was puzzled to hear that Raynor and Mengsk had escaped, and Stukov had abandoned the battle on Aiur. When the UED detected a psi disrupter on Braxis, Duran concluded that Stukov had rebuilt the Tarsonis device to sabotage the UED's goals. Unable to deny the evidence, DuGalle ordered Duran to find and kill Stukov. 杜高乐对於雷纳和曼斯克再度逃离, 以及斯图可夫放弃在翁行星上的战斗感到困惑. 当UED 侦测到布拉西斯上面有一个心灵增幅器时, 杜兰认为斯图可夫意图重建在塔桑妮丝上面的装 置来破坏UED的成果. 在无法反驳这些证据下, 杜高乐下令杜兰找出并且解决掉斯图可夫. DuGalle "I can't believe it. Yet the evidence is incontrovertible. Alexei, what have you done?" 杜高乐 "我实在是无法相信, 但事实却就放在眼前. 亚历克西, 你到底想做甚麽?" Duran shot Stukov and then slipped away. Mortally wounded, Stukov told DuGalle that Duran was the real traitor and had likely been infested by the zerg. Duran had allowed Mengsk and Raynor to escape. Furthermore, Duran had suggested destroying the psi disrupter, which Stukov had reassembled because he was certain it was critical to saving humanity from the zerg. 杜兰射杀了斯图可夫随即就消失得无影无踪. 受到了致命伤害下, 斯图可夫告诉了杜高乐, 就是杜兰才是真正的叛徒, 他很有可能已经被异形所寄生了. 杜兰蓄意让曼斯克与雷纳逃走 . 更进一步, 杜兰提议摧毁那部被斯图可夫重组的心灵增幅器, 其中的原因就是他确信心灵 增幅器将是从异形肆虐中拯救全人类的重要关键. Stukov's message convinced DuGalle, who established a garrison on Braxis before he led the UED fleet to Char. UED forces overcame the young Overmind's defenses and administered powerful neurostims so that the UED could control the Overmind. 斯图可夫的遗言说服了杜高乐, 他在布拉西斯建立起强大的驻防军力, 才率领UED舰队前往 殎行星. UED军队击溃了新生主宰的防御, 并注射了强力的神经药剂把新生主宰控制在手中. Controlling the Swarm 掌握群体 As the drugs started taking effect, Duran and the Queen of Blades suddenly appeared in the UED's midst. Kerrigan introduced herself as the leader of the zerg. It was clear that Duran was indeed infested. DuGalle threatened to disrupt her control over the zerg with the psi disrupter, but Kerrigan said that she intended to destroy the weapon. She thanked DuGalle for executing Stukov and departed. 当神经药剂开始发挥作用时, 杜兰和刀锋之後突然出现在UED的中心. 凯瑞根引介自己为异 形的领导者. 很明确地杜兰是被寄生了. 杜高乐威胁要把凯瑞根对异形的控制力, 透过心灵 增幅器解除. 但凯瑞根却反击道她本来就意图要摧毁这项装置, 并感谢杜高乐帮他处决了斯 图可夫, 随即消失在战场上. Establishing a base on Char, the UED took control of the Overmind's minions, who made up the vast majority of the Swarm. This control gave the UED a decisive advantage over Kerrigan, for the psi disrupter prevented her from controlling zerg that were not yet under the young Overmind's control. UED在殎行星上建立起基地, 并控制着主宰以及其手下大多数的异形群体成员. 这项作为让 UED有着决定性的优势对抗凯瑞根, 而心灵增幅器也让她无法去控制还没有被新生主宰所收 服的异形. Kerrigan "The only thing I can assure you of, Arcturus, is that without my help, you'll be the Emperor of your own little eight by eight cell for the rest of your life ." 凯瑞根 "我只能向你担保一件事情, 大角星, 那就是没有我的协助, 你只能在你那八乘八平方米的 监牢里终其一生做着你的皇帝梦." She contacted Shakuras and convinced Jim Raynor and the protoss to rescue the remains of the Dominion fleet from the UED. Raynor and the protoss remained distrustful, but she informed them that controlling the zerg was only the first step in the Directorate's plan. Earth would inevitably lock down the whole sector. 她接触了影樱行星, 并且说服了吉姆.雷纳与神族将会从UED手中救出残存的帝国舰队. 雷纳 和神族仍是无法信任她, 但她指出控制异形只是理事会计画中的首要阶段. 地球将会不可避 免地封锁住整个星区. Furthermore, Kerrigan claimed that she bore Mengsk no ill will. She needed Mengsk's psi emitters to reclaim additional zerg minions, destroy the psi disrupter, and vanquish the Directorate fleet. In return, she offered to help Mengsk reclaim Korhal IV. With no acceptable alternatives, Mengsk agreed. Kerrigan's plan worked perfectly, and she destroyed the psi disrupter. 更进一步, 凯瑞根宣称对曼斯克已不怀恨在心. 她需要曼斯克的心灵射源来重新控制更多的 异形军团, 并且消灭理事会舰队. 作为回报, 她提供协助让曼斯克重掌克哈四号行星. 在没 有其他更好的方案下, 曼斯克同意了. 凯瑞根的计画完美地达成, 她摧毁了心灵增幅器. Breaking alliances 同盟崩坏 Kerrigan honored her side of the bargain, bolstering the ranks of her zerg minions and helping Mengsk retake Korhal from the UED. Then, without warning, she sent her zerg against the Dominion and protoss encampments. General Duke fell in battle, but Kerrigan spared Mengsk's life because she wanted to savor his suffering as he watched her ascend to power. As for Jim Raynor, he escaped, swearing that one day he would kill her. 凯瑞根实现了她的诺言, 派出她的异形军团协助曼斯克从UED手中夺回克哈. 然後, 在没有 预警的情况下, 她率领的异形袭击了帝国与神族的营地. 杜克将军在战斗中倒下, 但凯瑞根 饶了曼斯克一命, 因为她想让曼斯克活着, 看她如何掌握权力就是对曼斯克最大的报复. 至 於吉姆.雷纳, 他逃走了, 并且发誓有一天他会回来取走凯瑞根的性命. Kerrigan "You're right, Fenix. I used you to get the job done, and you played along just like I knew you would. You Protoss are all so headstrong and predictable, you are your own worst enemies." 凯瑞根 "你说得没错, 芬尼克斯. 我利用你来完成我的野心, 你也就跟我所知道的一样奉陪到底. 你们神族都是脑袋全肌肉很容易预测的, 你自己就是你们最大的敌人." Fenix "That's ironic. I can remember Tassadar teaching you a very similar lesson on Char." 芬尼克斯 "这倒是挺讽刺的. 我还记得塔沙达在殎行星上面才给过你一次类似的教训." Next Kerrigan had Raszagal kidnapped and taken to Char. Predictably Zeratul tracked down the protoss matriarch and demanded her safe return. Kerrigan proposed a trade: if Zeratul and his compatriots destroyed the young Overmind, Kerrigan would permit Raszagal to return to her people. Because the Overmind was indisputably the protoss' enemy as well as Kerrigan's, Zeratul reluctantly agreed. 接下来凯瑞根绑架了拉兹葛并把她戴到殎行星. 如预料般赛拉图追寻着神族女族长并且要求 她安然回归. 凯瑞根提出了一个交易: 如果赛拉图与他的忠贞之士能解决掉新生主宰, 凯瑞 根就同意拉兹葛回到她的族人身旁. 因为主宰之於凯瑞根, 无疑地也是神族的敌人, 赛拉图 很不情愿地应允了. Only after he and his compatriots had destroyed the Overmind did Zeratul learn that Kerrigan had long ago enslaved and corrupted the dark templar's matriarch. The Queen of Blades had brilliantly outmaneuvered the protoss. With the Overmind and its cerebrates dead, all zerg in the Koprulu sector reverted to Kerrigan's control. 直到他与他的同胞解决了主宰, 赛拉图才发现凯瑞根许久以前就已经禁锢并且腐坏了暗影圣 堂的女族长. 刀锋之後很聪明地运用计略操纵着神族. 在主宰以及他的脑虫们都毁灭後, 所 有在克普鲁星区的异形将会重归凯瑞根的手下. Yet the dark templar refused to give up. They stole Raszagal from the zerg, but Kerrigan's minions surrounded Zeratul's base before the dark templar could escape with their matriarch. As Kerrigan and her minions drew near, Zeratul mortally wounded Raszagal rather than let her be recaptured. In her last moments , Raszagal thanked him for freeing her from Kerrigan's influence. Kerrigan decided to spare Zeratul's life rather than allow him the peace of death. Ravaged by grief and guilt, Zeratul vowed that he would avenge Raszagal. 但暗影圣堂不愿就此放弃. 他们从异形手中暗中救出拉兹葛, 但凯瑞根的军团围困住赛拉图 的基地, 让这名暗影圣堂无法带着他的女族长逃亡. 当凯瑞根与她的军团逼近时, 赛拉图狠 下心重创了拉兹葛, 也不愿意让她在被异形俘虏. 在她最後的遗言中, 拉兹葛感谢赛拉图将 她从凯瑞根的影响中释放. 凯瑞根决定饶恕赛拉图的性命, 而不给他一个平静的死亡. 被哀 伤与自责的浪潮冲击心灵, 赛拉图誓言为他的女族长复仇. A far greater power 更加强大的力量 As Zeratul and his people left Char, they detected protoss power signatures on an uncharted moon nearby. Zeratul and several other protoss investigated and found that someone had been using gene splicing to create hybrids with mixed zerg and protoss DNA. 当赛拉图和他的战士离开殎行星, 他们发现一些神族能源信号, 就在附近一个没有记录的月 亮上. 赛拉图和一些神族调查之後发现, 有人在这边操作基因叠合创造出异形与神族DNA的 混种生物. Duran "This creature is the completion of a cycle. It's role in the cosmic order was preordained when the stars were young. Behold the culmination of your history." 杜兰 "这个生物是基因循环下的完美产物. 他将统治宇宙的秩序, 在星辰仍然年轻的时候就注定 好的, 将会在你的历史中写下最高峰. In at least one case, the attempt had proven successful. Staring the abomination in horror, Zeratul was surprised when a male terran suddenly uncloaked in front of the stasis cell. The terran introduced himself as Samir Duran. 在这些样本中, 至少有一个实验品是成功的. 赛拉图充满恐惧地盯着这些令人作恶的生物, 却发现一个男性人类突然在他前面的保存荚舱解除隐形. 这个人类介绍他自己是山姆.杜兰. Zeratul recognized the name and asked if Kerrigan had instigated the hybridization project. Duran denied the accusation and said that he served a far greater power. The zerg-protoss hybrid were the last step in a vast cycle that was approaching its end. Scattered on a thousand different worlds, the hybrid would presently awaken, and the universe would change forever. Deeply troubled, Zeratul and the other protoss returned to their ship and continued on their way to Shakuras. 赛拉图理解到这个名字, 并且质问是否正是凯瑞根发起这项混血计画. 杜兰否认了这项指控 , 并且坦承他是服务於更强大的力量. 这个异形-神族混血是整个庞大基因循环中的最後一 步, 也是计画的终点. 在毁坏数以千计不同的世界之後, 这个混种即将苏醒, 而宇宙的命运 也将就此改变. 赛拉图深深地感到困惑, 却也只能随着其他神族回到舰队里, 并且继续他们 航向影樱行星的旅程. Kerrigan's ascension 凯瑞根的登基 The Queen of Blades soon faced another threat, and she was not pleased to discover that Duran had inconveniently disappeared. Apparently Arcturus Mengsk had called in a few favors and scraped together a new fleet. Artanis had also warped into the area with a fleet of protoss ships from Shakuras. Last but not least, Admiral DuGalle was stubbornly determined to defeat the woman who had masterminded Stukov's death. 刀锋之後很快地又面临了另一个威胁, 而且她也不高兴地发现, 杜兰此时的消失造成她许多 不方便. 很明显地, 大角星.曼斯克在透过一些关系後, 又勉强组成了一只新舰队. 亚坦尼 斯也跳跃进了这个区域, 并且从影樱行星带来了神族舰队. 然而, 对於这个主谋斯图柯夫之 死的女人, 杜高乐上将也偏执地决定要来击败她. DuGalle "You vastly underestimate me, my dear." 杜高乐 "亲爱的, 我想你远远低估了我." Kerrigan "I don't think so, Admiral. You see, at this point... I'm pretty much the Queen Bitch of the Universe. And not all of your little soldiers or space ships will stand in my way again." 凯瑞根 "我倒不这麽认为, 上将. 你知道吗, 在这个情势下..我对你来说应该是宇宙中的婊子女王. 你所有的渺小士兵或是宇宙舰艇都不再能碍着我的事." Kerrigan taught the three fleets better than to underestimate the Swarm. Facing imminent defeat, Mengsk and Artanis were forced to withdraw from the battle. At last it became clear that the UED fleet could not hope to succeed where the other two fleets had failed. DuGalle offered to surrender if Kerrigan would spare the lives of his soldiers. The Queen of Blades, however, had no interest in taking prisoners. Instead, she told DuGalle to turn his ships in the direction of Earth and flee. She would give him a reasonable head start before she sent the Swarm after him. 凯瑞根告诉了这三支舰队, 永远不要低估群体的实力. 体认到失败就在眼前, 曼斯克和亚坦 尼斯被迫退出了战斗. 最终UED舰队也很明白地了解, 在其他两支舰队溃退的情况下, 他们 是没有希望赢得胜利的. 杜高乐向凯瑞根递出降书, 并且希望凯瑞根能饶恕其他士兵的性命 . 然而, 刀锋之後对於收纳俘虏并没有兴趣. 相对地, 她告诉杜高乐调转船头往地球的方向 逃命去. 在她派出群体追杀UED舰队前会给他们一些喘息空间. DuGalle and his battered ships obeyed, for they had no other choice. Onboard the flagship Aleksander, DuGalle composed a last letter to his wife. His mission was a failure. The zerg remained untamed; the colony worlds, unconquered. His pride had killed Stukov and brought the Directorate fleet to this desperate pass. 杜高乐和他受创的舰艇, 在没有其他选择下只得遵从. 在旗舰亚历山大里, 杜高乐撰写了最 後一封家书给他的妻子. 他的任务已然失败. 异形仍旧不受驯化; 殖民地星球, 仍未控制. 他的自尊谋害了斯图可夫, 并且把理事会舰队带到这这个绝望的关口. The admiral killed himself not long before Kerrigan's forces overtook the UED fleet and devastated it. Not one Directorate ship reached Earth to report the events that had taken place in the Koprulu sector. 上将选择了结束了自己的生命, 不久之後凯瑞根就完全地掌控并且摧毁了UED舰队. 没有任 何一艘UED船舰能够返抵地球并且回报在克普鲁星区发生的事情. Aftermath 余波 The Queen of Blades did not become complacent in the wake of her victory. She kept watch over the Swarm from her core hive on Char. The Brood War left her the dominant force in Koprulu sector. The initial explosive expansion of the zerg has been replaced with a foreboding silence for four years, but no scouting expeditions to Swarm-controlled worlds have lived to tell what they saw there. 刀锋之後对於他即将到手的胜利感到并不满意. 她在殎上面的核心巢穴持续关注着群体. 怒 火燎原之战让她成为克普鲁星区的主宰武力. 异形从一开始疯狂的扩张, 到这四年来反而变 成充满不祥预感的沉静, 但在异形控制的区域里, 没有一个斥候探险队能活着回来告诉人们 到底发生了甚麽事情. Thus, outsiders can only speculate about what she has been doing--or what she has been seeking--these past four years. Many believe that the zerg are building their strength and engineering new organisms before going on the offensive again . Some contend that Kerrigan is staying her hand due to some small shred of humanity buried deep inside the creature she has become. Those who have encountered her savage fury know this to be merely wishful thinking. 所以, 居住在边缘星区的人们只能推测, 在这四年内她在做甚麽 - 或是她想要找寻甚麽. 许多人相信异形正在建构他们的武力与演化新的组织, 以进行下一波的攻势. 有些人主张凯 瑞根之所以停手, 是因为纵使她变成了另一种生物, 在她内心深处仍然藏着小小的人性碎片 . 不过有接触过她残暴怒火的人们, 明白这只不过是一厢情愿的看法而已. On the terran front 人类前线 Mengsk and his forces have regrouped on Korhal IV. His first order of business was to rebuild the Terran Dominion. In Kerrigan he had found a new target for revenge, and he'd always been happier with a goal to work toward anyway. The Dominion has since become the most powerful force among the terran factions, having taken over many of the original Confederate worlds. 曼斯克与它的部队在克哈四号行星上重新集结. 他的第一要务是重建人类帝国. 他发现一个 新的复仇目标 - 凯瑞根, 无论如何他也很高兴有个执行目的可以追逐. 人类帝国现在成为 人类区域里最具份量的武力, 并且接管许多原来的联邦世界. The Kel-Morian Combine and the Umojan Protectorate have been preparing for the inevitable war with either the zerg or Mengsk. The UED task force was almost completely destroyed in Brood War; only a few isolated pockets of survivors remain hidden in the Koprulu sector. 凯尔-莫瑞安联合与巫魔加护国军已经准备好一场不可避免的战斗, 无论是异形或是曼斯克. UED的任务军队在怒火燎原之战中几乎被完全摧毁; 只有少数的孤立残存者还藏匿在克普鲁 星区. Jim Raynor has led a resistance movement against the Dominion, but that has been a losing battle. Arcturus Mengsk has used his greatest weapons--the media and propaganda--to marginalize Jim's efforts. Raynor seems to be losing faith, drinking heavily and haunted by the ghosts of his past. He has never forgiven himself for letting Kerrigan be taken by the zerg. 吉姆.雷纳率领着一只反抗运动武力对抗帝国, 但他们打的是必输的战争. 大角星.曼斯克运 用他最强力的武器 - 媒体和舆论 - 来尽可能局限雷纳的努力. 雷纳看来也失去了他的信念 , 严重酗酒, 并且被过去的亡魂所纠缠. 他永远无法原谅自己为何让凯瑞根被异形所掳获. Reintegration of the protoss race 神族的重建 The protoss evacuees from Aiur have been struggling to recover from the loss of their home planet while finding ways to mesh their society with that of the dark templar who call Shakuras home. The transition has been difficult for both sides , and the name of Raszagal has been invoked more than once to keep the peace. 从翁行星来的神族幸存者仍然努力地从失去母星的损失中回复, 并且找出融入影樱行星上暗 影圣堂社会的方法. 这样的改变对於双方来说都十分艰难, 以拉兹葛之名, 双方都尽可能保 持和平. The old Conclave has been swept away, and in its absence many protoss have begun looking to their ancient tribal affiliations for leadership and a sense of identity. With the protoss people working together as they did in ancient times and studying the xel'naga technology on Shakuras, the protoss have made many technological developments for continuing the war with the zerg. 旧有的评议会制度已经被一扫而空, 没有了评议会许多神族开始寻求他们远古的部落联系, 并确认领导权和监别. 当神族人民就像远古时候他们有志一同的工作并且学习在影樱行星 上的塞尔纳迦科技时, 神族发展出许多科技成就运用在他们对抗异形的战争. Memories of Raszagal have plagued Zeratul, who was further disturbed by his encounter with Samir Duran and the zerg-protoss hybrid Duran had apparently been creating. Shortly after bidding Raynor farewell on Shakuras, Zeratul departed the planet, and he has not been heard from in years. To this day he seeks to understand what Duran and the hybrid he was creating might portend. Lately he has uncovered something that may be related to the xel'naga, creators of both protoss and zerg, and he seeks new clues to unravel the mystery. 对於拉兹葛的怀念一直侵蚀着赛拉图, 在他见过山姆.杜兰以及他所创造的异形-神族混种之 後更是严重. 当雷纳向影樱行星道别後不久, 赛拉图也离开了星球, 这数年之间都没有他的 消息. 直到现在他仍在追寻并了解山姆以及他所创造的混种, 其中所代表的意义. 不久他发 掘出有些与塞尔纳迦可能有关的事物, 这个创造出异形与神族的种族, 并且继续追寻线索, 来揭开这个不解之谜.
