[edit] Early Year
The following events occur relatively early this year:[1]
- Zeta Squad is deployed on Roxara's moon to observe the abilities of the changeling.[2]
- Jake Ramsey and his team are hired by Valerian Mengsk to excavate a strange artifact on the world of Nemaka. He discovers a protoss preserver, Zamara, who embeds herself in his mind. From her, he learns much about protoss history. However, this knowledge makes him a target for Valerian Mengsk. He and his companion Rosemary Dahl took shelter with crime lord Ethan Stewart at the independent world of Dead Man's Rock, only to be betrayed by Stewart.[3] Unleashing a psionic distraction to escape from Stewart and the Dominion, Ramsey draws the attention of Infested Kerrigan and the powerful dark archon, Ulrezaj. The former's forces devastate Dead Man's Rock and she infests Stewart. Ramsey travels to Aiur to collect technology, becoming embroiled in a civil war between Ulrezaj's minions and Khalai loyalists stranded on the planet, all the while dodging the zerg. He manages to escape through a warp gate, intending to travel to Shakuras.[4]
- Ramsey ends up far from Shakuras. He and Zamara locate Zeratul and convince him to help separate them. They also discuss a number of secrets, including the life cycle of the xel'naga and the creation of the hybrids. Zeratul brings them to a shrine on Ehlna, a Nerazim sanctuary where Ramsey's life could be saved, while he traveled to Pegasus, observing an energy creature hatching from a fresh temple and following it to a wormhole with a mysterious planet at the end. Meanwhile, Rosemary Dahl and a protoss force led by Selendis arrived at the shrine, while forces under the command of Ethan Stewart, Valerian Mengsk, Selendis and the dark archon converged on the site and fought over Ramsey. Zamara was successfully removed, only to immediately seal Ulrezaj into her crystal. Stewart was killed in combat, and the Dominion achieved victory. Valerian Mengsk was able to protect Ramsey from his father and also kept some knowledge from the shrine he had acquired before the protoss came back in force and drove the Dominion away.[5]
[edit] Late Year
The following events occur many months if not roughly a year after the events of the above section:[1]
- Nova begins a series of missions that lead to her uncovering information about the nature of Project Shadow Blade...and the revelations it presents.[6]

- Torrential summer rains uncover the ruins of a long-extinct alien civilization on Helios. Two terran factions battle for the khaydarin crystal situated below them.[8]
- Jim Raynor visits the ruins of his old home on Mar Sara. Simultaneously, the Dominion Armed Forces carries out an annexation of the planet, raising tensions among its citizens.[9]

- The zerg invade Mar Sara, landing at White Rock and moving towards Riksville. The Raiders hold out long enough for extraction by the Hyperion.[12]
- Simultaneously, the Queen of Blades led a zerg attack on several Terran Dominion worlds, restarting the war. Arcturus Mengsk withdraws his forces to protect the Core Worlds, leaving the Fringe Worlds to fend for themselves.[13]
- Agria comes under attack by the zerg, resistance being non-existent due to the departure of Dominion forces. Ariel Hanson sends out a distress call. [14]
