Changed line(s) 68 (click to see context) from:
* ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}: Brood War'' has the United Earth Directorate. They are set up as major villains and eventually become the dominant power in the sector, forcing an EnemyMine situation between Raynor, Fenix, Mengsk and Kerrigan to depose them out of fear they'll enslave or kill everyone regardless of race or allegiance. However... they don't. Their campaign is pretty much an eight-mission long KickTheSonOfABitch as they spend their time fighting Mengsk and the Zerg with the mission to depose the former and enslave the latter as tools to keep peace in the sector. The major factor in this trope is that their evilness is an AllThereInTheManual InformedAttribute -- back on Earth the UED are racist fascists who are implied to practice ethnic cleansing to curb overpopulation and genetic mutations. But aside from the implication they're infesting their own troops to use as hybrid forces, this does not come into play in the campaign. Instead their fleet leaders are shown to be honorable and reasonable people who proclaim they are there to bring peace to the sector, and given they ally with Samir Duran, the argument could easily be made the heroes could and should have allied with them instead of fighting them. There is a not inconsiderable number of fans who hope for their return in ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'', even though WordOfGod has said it's not likely to happen any time soon.
