StarCraft is a military science fiction real-time-strategy (RTS) game released by Blizzard Entertainment in 1998. The game was the first to feature three uniquely different playable races, the interplay of which posed a very complex balancing act with such great depth and variation in strategy that its shelf life lasted for more than 10 years. The main story is set around 2500 AD in a distant part of the Milkyway Galaxy, when the Terrans, who are descendants of the exiled prisoners from Earth, come in conflict with the insect-like Zerg and the highly evolved Protoss.[1]
