  Zerg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zerg did not know the exact location of Aiur, homeworld of the Protoss, but they were able to travel towards it, adding new species (such as the Mutalisk) to the Swarm along the way.
The Zerg were surprised at the Terran response, and were defeated by a sudden attack by the Protoss, led by Executor Tassadar.
Zerg players have a bit of an advantage against Protoss, due to the fact that Protoss have no reliable early scout (Probes die in two hits from Sunken Colony, Corsairs are a bit late, and Zealots have a hard time making it into a good Zerg's base).

 StarCraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
StarCraft improved upon its predecessor Warcraft II, which featured two very similar playable factions, by incorporating three races, Protoss, Terran, and Zerg and giving each race unique units and technologies, such as to create an important asymmetry between the three.
The origin of this unusually high level of popularity is likely a combination of Starcraft's suitability for competitive multiplayer and the fact that it was released during the beginning of the boom in popularity of "gaming cafes" in South Korea, resulting in a perfect opportunity for the game to catch on.
StarCraft even became an inspiration for the creation of official novels and eBooks (which were generally not especially well-received by fans).

To "zerg", a verb denoting the use of mass numbers to achieve an objective, has become a widely accepted term in a variety of other games, including Warcraft III and World of Warcraft.
The original Zerg species was originally discovered by the mysterious and ancient Xel'Naga after the Xel'Naga abandoned the Protoss on Aiur.
When the Zerg destroyed the Xel'Naga fleet above their homeworld Zerus, they retrieved memories or records of the Xel'Naga experiments with the Protoss as the Overmind absorbed large numbers of Xel'Naga.

 StarCraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though the game's three races (Protoss, Terran, and Zerg) were slightly imbalanced when the game was first released, the expansion pack and thirteen patches (of which four affected the game play mechanics) have balanced the three races.
Blizzard is working on a third person shooter, StarCraft: Ghost to be released in 2006; the change in genre from RTS to TPS and absence of a PC version aroused considerable protests among many of the StarCraft faithful, though others eagerly anticipate the game.
The origin of this unusually high level of popularity is likely a combination of StarCraft's suitability for competitive multiplayer and the fact that it was released during the beginning of the boom in popularity of "cybercafes" in Seoul, resulting in a perfect opportunity for the game to catch on.

 StarcraftD6: Zerg
Eventually, the Zerg managed to assimilate and infect every species on its own planet that it deemed worthy and to eradicate all other life lest it pollute the Zerg genome.
Hoping to control the Zerg development, and avoid the factionalism that led the Protoss to apparent ruin, the Xel’Naga created a single sentience that would serve as the Zerg’s collective consciousness.
Though a unified whole, the Zerg may be subdivided into different groups, referred to as Broods, that act under the authority of the various Cerebrates.

The Zerg began to move, in to the paths of the Protoss and Terrans.

There are three races in starcraft and there are three in halo that we know of (I am not counting xelnaga because we don't have enough information on them).
The three starcraft races, zerg, terran, and protoss remind me of the three races in halo, the humans, the covenant, and the flood.
I allways found the Zerg to be more of a Alien type of race, units which will blindly die for it's cause.

Playing as the Terran, my introduction to the Zerg was probably similar to most Starcraft players, and that was as the target for a massive alien attack.
Both the Zerg and the psionically-gifted Protoss, the other alien species of Starcraft, were created by long-lost Xel’Naga race, given to manipulating the genetics of selected species to improve them in the creators’ own image.
The Zerg concern for DNA is vital to their character, as they are a metamorphic race, capable of altering themselves genetically to adapt to a specific purpose.

 StarCraft: Zerg Overview
Also, since the Zerg 'grow' their troops, and for the most part they are cheap, they depend on mass numbers of them (especially in the case of zerglings) to win battles; don't expect to make a few zerglings and win.
Since all of the Zerg buildings are living creatures, they can only be placed (with the exception of a Hatchery) on the Creep, which provides nourishment for the buildings.
One of the Zerg's most helpful qualities is the fact that all units and buildings, since biological in nature, regenerate over time.

Left without any order, a Zerg Brood is destroying anything on its path, including other Zerg.
Most people ignore the Defiler all together because of its high cost (and believe me, it is indeed high), but just two or three of these can turn the tide of a battle if played wisely.
The Defiler can also Consume friendly Zerg units (yum!), so a tip is to keep a few Zerglings nearby in case your Defiler needs mana.

He is one of the most vocal in advocating zerg imbalances, but he plays Protoss more than any other race.
Perhaps the current profusion of Zerg players comes not from any race imbalance, but the fact that the Zerg are a more interesting race.

 Definition of Zerg
It also allows for expansions to be used for unit production without spending more resources on production buildings, whether to assist in an offensive, or for emergency defense.
Finally, the big Zerg weakness tends to be casters.
However, the Zerg player can mitigate the effects by burrowing the irradiated unit, which prevents it from damaging the other units near it.

The StarCraft single-player missions are meant to be played in order—Terran first, Zerg next, and Protoss last.
You’ll find that Zerg missions are much more difficult than Terran missions, while Protoss missions are generally the most difficult of all; Blizzard assumes you’ve played the easier campaigns in order and have a firm grasp of StarCraft strategy.
Now it’s time to learn about the Zerg, which should prove to be at least somewhat different from playing Terrans because their production styles differ.

Sheila the tank: (While Simmons try to convince her that she is supposed to guard the blue base against pirates and ninjas and not the red team) My logical data analysis indicates that is highly unlikely, and my bullshit-meter agrees.
The zerg may have juts killed an expeditionary research force of the Xel Naga, and not the entire race.

 Gary Appenzeller's Web Site: StarCraft - Zerg Tips and Strategies
Healing: Zerg units and buildings gradually will heal themselves after an attack, if they are left alone.
If the enemy has Dark Archons (like in Brood War Zerg 10), it is a good idea to use the Queen to parasite your Overlords in case they get mind controlled.
If fighting against Zerg, one must always be aware that some of the allied units might be parasited, thus giving the enemy valuable advanced information of your base or units.

But Protoss is well equipped to take Zerg, Zerg is well equipped to take Terran, and Terran is well equipped to take Protoss.
Zerg have not won very many huge tournaments and in fact most of the time end up facing a Terran.
Zerg has a hard time with Terran because Terran can use MandM and take out anything a Zerg throws at him for any cost effect.

It acts not only as a resource return point and processing center, but it produces the larvae from which all other Zerg are spawned.

Excepting the massive Ultralisk, all Zerg creatures that inhabit the ground may gain the ability to bury themselves beneath any surface.
