  The objective of StarCraft vs Star Wars is super unique, there are billions of planets that need to be destroyed, each is guarded by a progressively stronger group of enemies.

  I’m disappointed that you didn’t point out how Vader would feel about the Zerg seeing as they’re coarse, rough, and they get everywhere.

  Looking forward to "can you beat the galactic empire with zerglings only" run

  There is an X-factor missed that I think pushes this in favor of the Swarm, and that is the Leviathan's ability to infest other spacecraft directly, turning a foe's own firepower against them. While this is devastating enough when it's a Battlecruiser or Carrier, Star Destroyers in the hands of the Zerg become a nightmare for the Empire

  It really never occurred to me to imagine how not-out-of-place Kerrigan would be in the Star Wars universe; there's all kinds of exotic and strange aliens living together in the main galaxy, it would not be weird to see someone like her just hanging out.

  Can you imagine Abathur getting a hold of the remains of a Zillo Beast? Brutalisks would be child's play compared to that.

  The funny thing about StarCraft is that for how OP its factions look at times. . . Everything that ever happened in StarCraft happened in the Koprullu sector. The UED lost its expeditionary fleet but Earth was untouched. Who knows what other Xel'Naga creations are Lurking out there. Did the rest of the Galaxy even had an idea of Amon's attacks?

  I think the fact that all Zerg are living weapons essentially being born fully armed and armored as well as being able to eat pretty much anything can be a significant factor as wars are often won by logistics.

  Okay, okay, hear me out. Kerrigan IS a powerful force user. She was born with a certain, more or less unexplained power, she uses it to shock people with Force Lightning, choke everyone in area, crush them with implosion, and uses it to enhance her speed and ability to jump. Heck, the whole Zerg chain of command can be seen as a kind of 'Jedi mind trick' as well. The only thing she's missing is a lightsaber, but that was stolen by miss Covert Ops.

  Huh<br>How did I never question that Kerrigan&apos;s swarm travelled like halfway across the galaxy to get to Zerus in the first third of the campaign...<br>That&apos;s crazy

  I think you are underestimating how attrition would wreck the empire in a &apos;stalemate&apos;.<br><br>We know canonically that the Zerg can just turn entire worlds into &apos;bio mass farms&apos; to perpetually keep the swarm fed and if not growing, maintain enough numbers to keep chipping at the empire... who would not have this tool. They&apos;d eventually start running out of farmable land because most of those are probably not in the core worlds.<br><br>Starvation would eventually win it for the swarm

  I hope this isn&apos;t going to be a one-off thing. More Zerg content about fighting between them and other SciFi Factions!
