The wicked Cerebrate Zargil attempted to alter the future of the Zerg Swarm by securing the Terrans' past. To that end he captured Judicator Chaladar in order to create a new timeline. However, the Protoss and Zerg of his time, along with the Terrans of the past, managed to thwart Zargil and his brood, and erase his timeline. It was an example of cooperation unparalleled in history.

Unfortunately, only three remember that even occurring: Prelate Ziktofel of the Dark Templar, Judicator Chaladar, and the Hunter, Xaax the Defiler. They would lay the foundation of a future alliance between Protoss and Zerg, but such a path is not without its peril.

Urust, Executor of the expedition, was convinced to travel to Kodulas, the hidden Zerg world ruled by Daggoth and his renegade Cerebrates, fleeing from the UED and Kerrigan alike. On that world an uneasy truce was declared, and it was decided that Xaax and Chaladar would return to Shakuras with the Protoss in order to convince their new Conclave of the same.

Together the Protoss and Zerg can achieve greatness, but there are those who conspire against such an alliance, and would see to it at all costs that the enemy is destroyed.

A Specter From the Past

Asakiro, Executor of the Black Scorpion Fleet, was honored time and again for his exploits in the service of Aiur. However, when Judgement Day came in the form of the Battle of Aiur, the wills and faith of the Protoss was tested to the limit. Placed in the front line against the Zerg onslaught Asakiro and his men became embittered by the Conclave and their increasingly-apparent incompetence. Seeing them as traitors to the Khala, the Black Scorpion Fleet withdrew from the battlefield, never to be seen again.
