StarCraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races will clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft.
Blizzard took several elements from other sci-fis during the development of Starcraft. Like from Dark Colony, and from movies, but mostly from warhammer 40k. Tyranids, space marines, hello? Starcraft wikia:
"Many changes were made to units and structures throughout the StarCraft alpha and beta and the marine was no exception. In the early beta, marines were known as marauders.[14] By mid-beta, the title of the marauder had changed to Terran Space Marine mk 2, possibly as a reference to (or derived from) the Space Marines of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40K series."
What do Warhammer 40,000 Ultramarines have to do with StarCraft?
