Using Psi-emitters, Mengsk attracted the Zerg to attack Confederate bases, weakening the Confederacy's power and inadvertently assisting Mengsk in his overthrow of the Confederacy to establish the Terran Dominion. This led to the massive conflict known as the "Great War" breaking out between the Protoss Empire, Terran Confederacy and the Zerg Swarm.ĭuring the Great War, the rebel group known as the Sons of Korhal, led by Arcturus Mengsk, exploited the Zerg invasion for their revolt against the Terran Confederacy.
However, the Overmind, aware of Amon's destructive goals, began secretly searching for a way to subvert Amon's control over the Zerg and free the Zerg from the fallen Xel'Naga's grasp.Īfter having folded multiple species into their brood, the Zerg launched an invasion of Terran worlds with the purpose of assimilating the Terrans into the Swarm, sighting their psionic potential as a way to counter the psionic powers of the Protoss. However, in the process of assimilating the Xel'Naga, the Zerg became aware of the previous species the Xel'Naga had genetically altered, the Protoss, and began to desire to assimilate them to achieve genetic perfection. When the other Xel'Naga caught wind of Amon's actions and attempted to stop him, Amon used the Zerg to exterminate the other Xel'Naga. The Zerg that avoided having their genetics tampered with by Amon became known as "Primal Zerg" and hid to avoid being assimilated into the Swarm. To control the Zerg Swarm's hive mind, the Overmind was created. Amon and his followers intervened in the Zerg's evolution to give them "purity of essence", in contrast to the Protoss' "purity of form", leading to the formation of the Zerg Swarm.
They were eventually discovered by Amon and his fallen Xel'Naga after they abandoned the Protoss. The Zerg species first matured on the planet Zerus.
