In short, unlike the 40K universe, the Starcraft universe has no one monolithic power dominating most of the galaxy, but instead, there are plenty of factions from different species all vying for control. These races all have factions within them that also hate each other, from the Terran Confederacy waging war against the human rebel group known as the Sons of Korhal, to the Protoss Judicators denouncing the Protoss Dark Templars as heretics, and the occasional renegade Zerg rampaging around and causing a ruckus for the rank-in-file Zerg forces, not to mention the Brood Wars that erupted between the Zerg when their leader died in the first game. Starcraft, for those of you who are uneducated, is Blizzard Entertainment’s real-time strategy science-fiction video game that revolves around the three-way struggle between the humans, known in-game as the Terrans, the monstrous alien collective known as the Zerg, and the dangerous but elegant Protoss race.
Yes, today, we will talk about Warhammer 40K vs. One that many 40K fans hate for supposed “plagiarism”. One that I have a very personal connection to. It’s just that sometimes, I can’t help but make observations that a lot of 40K fans ignore, especially since said fans can be quite a handful.īut this time, I’d like to tackle 40K’s relationship with another famous science fiction series. Here I go again, going after the sacred cow that is Warhammer 40K.
