The story so far Heart of the Swarm continues the story of Wings of Liberty with an all-new campaign that centres on Sarah Kerrigan, the former Queen of Blades. Jim Raynor has yoked the power of an ancient Xel Naga artefact to prevent the zerg Swarm overrunning the Koprulu sector, restoring Sarah Kerrigan to her human form in the process. Without their Queen, the Swarm has dissipated into several scattered broods throughout the Koprulu sector, neutralised... for now. Once the galaxys most feared figure, you, as Kerrigan, now languish in a cell beneath a high-security research laboratory on the planet Char. You must plan your escape into the depths of space before the brutal forces of the Terran Dominion close in, repossessing your living empire at the Heart of the Swarm.
