[[WMG:The voice near the end of All In...]]
[[https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=4033245&perpage=40&pagenumber=118#post538653575 Straight from another Something Awful forums post]]:
You remember way back at the end of Wings of Liberty, where that REALLY stupid moment of "Oh, Kerrigan was corrupted the whole time, but she managed to reach out and whisper for Jim to save her telepathically" happened? Well, '''what if that wasn't Kerrigan'''?
Consider who else would have strange psionic powers, who would have a vested interest in Jim managing to set off the artifact to de-infest the Queen of Blades to use the unleashed psionic energy as a big-ass Phoenix Down? I think that at the end there, it was actually Duran naruD giving Jim one final little push, to make sure that he would set off the artifact.

Here's [[https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=4033245&perpage=40&pagenumber=106#post537881504 another proposal I found in the Something Awful forums]].
* One explanation as to why she became Zerg in one branch and succeeded in curing the virus in the other relates to your choice. If you choose to support her, she has time to take things slow and work out all of the kinks before moving forwards, resulting in removing the infection. On the other hand if you support Selendis, she is panicked, desperate to try and find the cure before it is too late. She thinks maybe if she can find the cure now she can stop Jim from purging the colony. So she takes risks, is not careful, and just ends up Infesting herself. As to the "Zerg Virus" itself, the colonists were not Infested, they were ''Infected''. A sort of sleeper disease that EVENTUALLY can overwhelm them and lead to Infestation. No easy cure for the Infested except fire, but it is possible to cure the ''Infection'' instead, which Hanson manages.
* No easy explanation on the differences in LEVEL of Infestation on the mission though. Maybe it's two different sections of the planet you are dealing with. In the Pro-Hanson version, the Protoss started on the badly Infested side and burned that down, and are moving onto the mostly Infestation-free side where you stop them. On the Pro-Selendis version, a couple Marines were able to take out the 5 Infested in Quarantine on that part of the map, and the Raiders take out the badly Infested part that the Protoss would have burned.

[[WMG: Some of the units presented in game are miniature versions of their lore counterparts used for logistical reasons.]]
The Terran Battlecruiser is especially this, essential a scaled-down minicruiser that's easier for smaller bases to supply and maintain, explaining the small scale of the unit. Likewise, the Protoss use mini-Carriers for their smaller skirmish operations instead of mega-Carriers.

[[WMG: The Jackson's Revenge isn't unique, it's just an aftermarket specification for battlecruisers with a fable about it being one-of-a-kind.]]
This is why it's possible to have them destroyed and be rehired in future missions and fight them as enemies while you have your own version. The Jackson's Revenge specification is possibly not a wide-spread specification because of the AwesomeButImpractical logistics for fielding each one individually, so the vanilla spec cruisers see widespread production to offset the catastrophe of losing mulitple elite-grade cruisers and reduce logistical challenges such as the ability to have multiple fleets fielded where they are needed most.

[[WMG: The Terran Vikings' Lanzer Torpedos were reverse-engineered from Protoss Scouts' Antimatter Missiles]]
The stats on the Lanzer Torpedos are exactly the same against armored targets, but Terran technicians improved them to work better against other targets besides armored ones. The ''VideoGame/WingsOfLiberty'' campaign even has the antimatter-based Ripwave Missile upgrade to give them SplashDamage, curiouser and curiouser.

[[WMG: Defensive Matrix will become more standard in the Terran army.]]
That's not to say every unit will have it, but the Battlecruiser may gain the ability "Raise Shields" as in Franchise/StarTrek to gain a defensive advantage. However, it will probably be balanced by diverting power from weaponry like in Star Trek, making them into a StoneWall ideal for absorbing hits rather than your army. Another possible balance restriction is Tactical Jump and/or Yamato Cannon becoming unavailable temporarily.

Amon and Narud needed the Dominion to help protect their Mobius Corps assets so Amon's influence over Kerrigan made her stand down so the Dominion could rebuild and Moebius Corps could start cloning Hybrids.
