[edit] Zerg Factions

With the recent brouhaha with a lot of Zerg stuff, perhaps we might consider making some additional Zerg faction articles like we have with the other races. Perhaps something like:

• Swarm (Overmind)
• Swarm (UED)
• Swarm (Kerrigan)
• New Swarm (Kaloth)

And whatever other Zerg groups we don't already have articles for, although I think most of those are currently covered with 'brood' articles. Meco 13:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Kerrigan's organization is simply an extension of the first Overmind's organization (both are "the Zerg Swarm").

The second Overmind's Swarm was often (and inconsistently) called the Renegade Zerg. Uncontrolled Zerg often got this tag as well. Kerrigan herself once referred to the second Overmind's Zerg as the Renegade Zerg. The inconsistency is the main reason I haven't created an article for it; actually linking to Renegade Zerg for Episodes IV-VI whenever it was used in the mission-ending score card would probably create more confusion than it's worth.

When the UED grabbed control of the second Overmind's Zerg, they were called "UED Slave Broods".

We don't know much about Kaloth's "New Swarm", but we could still make a mini-article out of it. Kimera 757 (talk) 14:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Kerrigan meerly took control of the zerg that which belonged to the Overmind, the UED having temporarily done so. For all intents and purposes, it's the same Swarm.

Kaloth's New Swarm could probably use an article though. For all intents and purposes, it's a Brood that's gone rogue, Kaloth having delusions of grandeur.--Hawki 21:56, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
