The series debuted with the video game StarCraft in 1998. The series, set in the beginning of the 26th century, centers on a galactic struggle for dominance among four species-the adaptable and mobile Terrans, the ever-evolving insectoid Zerg, the powerful and enigmatic Protoss, and the godlike Xel'Naga creator race-in a distant part of the Milky Way galaxy known as the Koprulu Sector. StarCraft is a military science fiction media franchise created by Chris Metzen and James Phinney and owned by Blizzard Entertainment.
