The Invasion of Aiur StarCraft 1: Zerg Mission 9

Back to: Zerg Mission 8: Eye for an Eye.

The Invasion of Aiur StarCraft 1

The Invasion of Aiur is the ninth mission of the Zerg Campaign in Blizzard's RTS of 1998, StarCraft 1. Staged on Aiur, The Invasion of Aiur sets the Zerg Swarm against the Auriga, Akilae and Velari Tribes of the Vanguard of Aiur. In addition, The Invasion of Aiur introduces the Protoss Carrier and Protoss Arbiter.

Note that Protoss Reaver range exceeds Zerg Sunken Colony range. Thus, Guardians are the best defensive units for your base. Though of course, Guardians are the easiest way to destroy the Protoss as well (with Mutalisk support).

Carriers will present the biggest problem: employ Scourges or Mutalisks.

The Invasion of Aiur Mission Objectives

• Bring a Drone to the Khaydarin Crystal Formation.
• Protect the Drone for 10 minutes while the Crystal is being harvested.
