preceding the beginning of the game, the khalai protoss have become aware of a zerg invasion of terran worlds, and respond by dispatching a fleet commanded by the high templar tassadar to destroy infested terran worlds. tassadar instead disregards his orders to massacre the terran populations, attempting to destroy the zerg by conventional means. tassadar later meets a dark templar, zeratul, and embraces the dark templar culture, prompting the khalai protoss to brand tassadar as a traitor. zeratul unwittingly reveals the location of the protoss homeworld
