The Tiamat Brood was the largest and most powerful of all the broods of the extended Zerg Swarm.[1]
It is speculated that the Overmind itself was protected deep within the safety of this living fleet. The most advanced overlords and queens define the rigid infrastructure of Tiamat and help to drive the lesser broods to total domination over their enemies.[1]
The Tiamat was specialized in tactical space combat and rarely fielded any ground creatures. It only dispatches its ravenous surface attackers under the most dire of circumstances.[1] It was infamous for breeding the most specialized and advanced zerg, such as the Hunter Killer hydralisk strain.[2][3]
[edit] History
The Tiamat Brood protected Char's planetary orbit. When General Edmund Duke of the Terran Dominion led attack forces to Char, the Tiamat Brood attacked his forces as they fled.[4]
It was not until the invasion of Aiur itself that the Tiamat Brood has been used in ground combat. Elements of the Tiamat Brood were at the forefront of the attack, along with the Grendel Brood and the Baelrog Brood. They were the broods that invaded the provinces of Antioch and Scion, destroying the protoss defenders.[5] Parts of the Brood also remained on Char hunting the protoss who remained there.[6]
It took part in the (ineffective) defense of the Overmind.[7]
[edit] Trivia
The Tiamat Brood is named after Tiamat, the dragon from whose slain body the universe was made in Babylonian mythology.
