The (original) Overmind isn't dead, and will come back as the surprise Big Bad of Starcraft 2
After killing off the Xel'Naga, the overmind managed to [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence trancend physical reality to a degree while on its way towards the Protoss. When Tassadar "killed" it, he only destroyed its body, breaking its link to the rest of the Zerg.Alternatively, it was always non-corporeal from the get go. The [[All There in the Manual manual never states that the Overmind was of the Zerg, just that the Xel'Naga created it to manage them. Maybe it grew resentful of the Xel'Naga and decided to continue their experiments on its own terms.
After "dying", the Overmind lost control of the Zerg and had to find some other way to continue its agenda through its avatar, Samir Duran.
- It's possible that the Overmind merged with Tasadar and was then sucked into an alternate dimension/plane of existence.
- If the Overmind remains alive, so must Tassadar. No exceptions, lest it suck.
- Yes and no
Jossed. The Overmind is revealed to have actually been trying to stop the real Big Bad all along.
- Unless The Overmind was lying.
- Tassadar merged with the Overmind, and as such was shown to have explored the Overmind's mind. When the guy's literally in your mind you can't really hide jack.
- Tassadar is actually dead all along, but the apparition that bears the likeliness of him is actually some sort of psionic thought-signal originated from Ouros, the last Xel'Naga (if you don't count the 'fallen' ones like Amon and Narud), and was picked up and interpreted by Zeratu as Tassadar speaking to him from the beyond. At least that's what the Legacy of the Void implied....
The Terrans are the descendant of the Xel'Naga
The Xel'Nega's motive for experimenting with races was to create a race with the purity of form and one with the purity of essence and have them join together in a distant future, thus re-creating and saving the Xel'Naga race. Eventually some grew discouraged and when they found Earth, they decided to save their race by mating the with prehistoric hominids and creating offsprings. The offsprings of these matings had psionic abilities or magic as we would call it. They would eventually used Xel'Naga technology to create lost cities and ancient civilizations like Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu and etc. This created a golden age of technology AndManGrewProud. They eventually caused the destruction of those civilizations. The survivors of these civilizations would in time would lose their psionic abilites and forget their knowledge of Xel'Naga technology eventually becoming what the Terrans are right now. Yet sometimes lost psionic abilities will sometimes manifest within certain individuals because of their ancient [[InTheBlood ancestors.- Or rather its the Protoss who are more descendant from them. Otherwise the Zerg would have gone to Earth instead.
- No, the Protoss and Zerg are their creations. There wasn't any interbreeding.

Matt from the Hyperion is the former Magistrate of Mar Sara.
Seems like more of a general than most of the main characters in the raiders, and also seems to know what happened in the first game.
The Magistrate has been retconned out of existence
- Liberty's Crusade states that Jim Raynor WAS the Magistrate.
- Nope. If you look at Jim Raynor's Marshal badge in Starcraft II, Tychus says "Oh, man. Didn't the Magistrate here know he was hiring an arch-criminal as his Marshal?" Unless you're suggesting that Jim Raynor hired himself, this proves both that the Magistrate existed and that he wasn't Jim.
- Yes, Jim Raynor wasn't the Magistrate. However, it wasn't the Magistrate in Episode 1 that hired Raynor. Raynor was already Marshall back in 2496; the Episode 1 Magistrate was sent to Mar Sara a few days after the Protoss attacked Chau Sara in 2499.

The Magistrate from Starcraft and the Captain from Brood War are the same person.
We already know that the UED used locals rebels like Samir Duran to augment their forces. The Magistrate signed on with the invaders because he needed their military to force Mengsk out of power. He would then use the confusion to drive the UED out of the Koprulu sector.
- No. The briefing in the first Brood War Terran mission mentions about the Captain recovering from cold sleep, indicating the Captain has come from Earth. But I like the idea of the Magistrate joining the UED to fight Mengsk, after he left Raynor's Raiders because of Raynor taking his own sweet time getting back at Mengsk and hanging out with the Protoss.
Everyone is Samir Duran.
Including Kerrigan, Raynor, Mengsk, Findlay, Valerian, Tassadar, Zeratul, and the Overmind.
Barring Samir Duran. He's someone else entirely.
- Jossed. Samir Duran is actually a Xel'Naga named Narud and a follower of Amon.]]
The mission "In Utter Darkness" will reappear in the Protoss campaign...with a twist.
The mission plays out the Protoss' last stand against the Hybrids and Dark Voice, in a timeline where Kerrigan has been killed. Since she's not dead in the current timeline, the Zerg will now fight alongside the Protoss when they confront the Hybrids, who will possibly now have an entire tech tree of Hybrids to make up for the fact that they won't have the Zerg with them. Alternately, the Hybrids will have mind-controlled Terrans serving them.- Seems reasonable... but I'm guessing Raynor's Raiders will be fighting with the good guys too. I could even see the Zerg getting their own version of In Utter Darkness where they and the Protoss go down, thereby proving they have to rescue Raynor and/or Valerian and/or (just to twist the knife) Arcturus.
- Its probably going to be like the final mission of the original Starcraft, only instead of having two races to build the tech trees with, you have all three. (This is actually pretty common for the 'grand finales' of Starcraft games, Brood War did the same thing, only with the team-up against you.). And on the other side will be the mind-controlled Zerg, hybrids, and corrupted factions of Terrans and Protoss. *crosses fingers*
- With the corrupted Terran being the Dominion.
- Jossed. The Protoss campaign in the Legacy of the Void is anything but bleak. Although it's actually reversed in the final three missions — where all three races led their forces right into Amon's doorstep, dead set to end him once and for all, while Amon put up a desperate but ultimately futile resistance.
