Lore
This section uses content from the StarCraft Wiki.- Sarah Louise Kerrigan was a psychic terran female. She began her career as a Confederate ghost and later became the second-in-command of the Sons of Korhal. Following Arcturus Mengsk's betrayal, she was captured and infested by the Zerg Swarm, becoming the self-proclaimed Queen of Blades (a.k.a. the Zerg Queen) and leader of the Swarm.
- At the Dominion Ghost Academy, ghosts in training are told the Confederacy allowed Kerrigan to "defect" to the zerg. Non-control zerg strains referred to her as "the Kerrigan."
