For the poor, hardworking citizens of the Confederacy’s fringe worlds, the Guild Wars have exacted an enormous toll. Swayed from the guarantee of financial rewards, a fresh batch of recruits joins the battle alongside a slew of mysteriously docile criminals-and several dubious military market leaders. Eighteen-year-old Jim Raynor, full of testosterone and eager to make points right at home, boats off on top of that camp and discovers his footing for the battlefield, but he shortly discovers that the state mission isn’t what he’s actually fighting for.

For the very first time ever, StarCraft enthusiasts will learn the ori­gins from the long lasting friendship between the young upstart Jim Raynor and the streetwise soldier Tychus Findlay. Watch as they fight on leading lines of the fierce interplanetary war and bear witness towards the Confederacy’s rank corruption-corruption so reprehensible that it rains immeasurable death and damage upon the government’s very own people.
