Desolas Arterius, despite not finding a Reaper artifact on Shanxi, still became indoctrinated and tried to active Temple Palaven; without Jack Harper, Saren himself calls the Hierarchy down on him.

\n*SurvivorGuilt: Discussed; an Asari anthropologist contacts Valerian Mengsk, because she hasn't been able to contact any Terran anthropologists. Valerian informs her that while there ''are'' some Terran anthropologists who survived the Great Wars, they are ashamed of not doing their part. Valerian specifically points out that in the [[RealityEnsues realities of planetary invasion]] by [[HordeOfAlienLocusts the Zerg,]] it's entirely possible that those men could have saved their families or friends if they had been prepared for combat.

Instead of unifying under the Khala, individual Protoss are starting to form tribes, a step backwards into the [[http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Aeon_of_Strife Aeon of Strife.]] Artanis is trying to prevent this, but his presence is required on Shakuras at all times to deal with issues.

A ''Franchise/MassEffect[=/=]VideoGame/StarCraft'' crossover written by xeno Major.

An undisclosed time after the events of ''[[VideoGame/StarcraftIIWingsOfLiberty Wings of Liberty]]'', the Korpulu sector went [[FromBadToWorse from Bad to Worse]], so much so that quite a few Terrans decided to just pack up and leave. Eventually, they created a new home for themselves on a planet they called Shanxi, and it looked like they might just have found some peace.

Of course, then they find a massive [[MassEffect ruin in space]], and with it come the Turians, ready to take this new space-faring species with it's hodgepodge of technology into their empire. But Raynor and the Terrans have never exactly been ones to take something like that lying down.
