Two ancient crystals, imbued with the powers of the Dark Templar and Templar Caste, had to be recovered and be used to power the world's xel'naga temple to defeat the zerg on Shakuras. However, the protoss asked for a favor in return. Kerrigan asked for their help to kill it before it reached maturity and took control of Kerrigan's mind again. The protoss and Dark Templar reluctantly joined forces with Kerrigan, after she explained that she was now free of the Overmind's control, but that a new Overmind was growing on Char. They discovered Kerrigan after blowing up a zerg base. Mourning the loss of Raynor and Fenix, they established a settlement dubbed New Antioch.

The first of the new campaigns is the protoss one and mostly takes place on the Dark Templar homeworld of Shakuras.

The campaigns continue the story from where StarCraft left off: the Overmind has been destroyed with the sacrifice of Tassadar, the protoss homeworld of Aiur has been left desolate and rampaged by the zerg, and Sarah Kerrigan is left alone in her new form. This expansion provides three new campaigns, two new units per race (3 for the protoss), plus some new tech advancements (eg Charon boosters, an anti-air attack range upgrade for the goliath), new music tracks and new map tilesets (eg twilight, tileset of the protoss world of Shakuras).
