At that point, Artanis gave the order to purify (yes, meaning 'incinerate' the planet of Braxis. * Jim Raynor did indeed work with the Protoss, including Artanis and Taldarin, and Alexei Stukov was indeed freed from the Swarm (thanks to the serum devised by Protoss scientists) long enough for Raynor, Taldarin, and Stukov to get off the planet. It would've been interesting if Kerrigan had said she was going to use them against the Xel'Naga or something, or some copmletely different purpose to what the terrans were apparently wanting them for (money, and later as a way to cure Kerrigan).ДЄlso interestingly, if you have captions turned on, during the Tyrador mission Kerrigan says 'I know what you and 'Dr Narud' are doing' or something like that, but the important part is that Dr Narud was in quote marks and her voice has a mocking stress on his name - it seems she knows that Narud is Duran. However this really wasn't made as clear as it should be, and Kerrigan just says she's after the artifacts because she 'knows what they're for', but never elaborates any further with what she wants them for etc. She oscillated between being an intelligent scientist woman to a 22 year old know-nothing bimbo.ДЄlso, playing the campaign through again a second time on Hard, it is now clearer to me that the Zerg invasion is because Kerrigan is after the artifacts, and once you take out Tyrador (destroying the computer cores, the mission where Kerrigan first shows her bogeyman-face) the news report indicates that the Zerg have pulled back in their invasion. Hanson's bubble-gum lipstick, clear elfin face and 'oh cry on my shoulder Jim!' shtick really annoyed me. Post has been edited 1 time(s), last time on Aug 6 2010, 12:46 pm by Vi3t-X. That said, Braxis is an ice planet, and so it has since frozen back over. We'd rather not get more specific right now lest it interfere with the development of StarCraft II, but rest assured that having a fully fleshed out timeline is definitely our goal. Both time periods were significantly shorter than that. Also, Taldarin's body didn't stay in stasis for several thousand years.

That said, we have begun to nail down the StarCraft timeline since this map was made, so disregard Taldarin's assertion that he fought alongside Adun three millennia before the events of the Resurrection map. He was one of the first Protoss to become a dragoon. Wounded in battle, his body was kept in stasis until the dragoon exoskeleton was created. He is one of the greatest warriors of the Protoss.
