Over the course of various threads, I have noticed numerous posts which relate to lore and the storyline of SC. And I've always found the comments and facts extremely interesting, so I began to wonder how everyone has come to know these things. Are there any summaries/sparksnotes sorts of things I could read? I want to solidify my Starcraft fanboyism by actually knowing what happened ^_^ Thanks everyone =D | ||

Also has a lot of screenshots of stuff that was scrapped from SC2 development (Tempest + Shuriken or the Star Base for example). Anyway for story you can start Great War or UED or Ulrezaj (for example) and well have fun reading the stuff  .(All info comes from sources listed on the page since it's a wiki but kudos anyway to the editors of the wiki). | ||

You might want to have a look at it. ^This The book was actually very well written and details the original Terran campaign without being contrived or feeling like a straight rehash. I have read all the other books in the series, and while they are interesting reads, I don't feel like they are particularly good stories. The also seem to add nothing to the actual back story of the SC games. I would rate Grubb's book a 9 (for a sci-fi book) and the others 6-7. | ||

I don't think Liberty's Crusade can get enough praise in a thread about learning SC lore. Simply put, this book is absolutely amazing. I've read through a lot of book based on an existing IP including the StarCraft ones, and this one is probably the best out of all of them. The thing about the book isn't that it presents a unique story, but rather it just takes from the original StarCraft storyline, adds a major character (Liberty cameos in SC2 btw!) and some events not covered in the game. It adds enough new things to make it feel fresh, while keeping enough of the old things that made the story great, and in the end you have something absolutely awesome. | ||
