Sarah Louise Kerrigan, also Sarah Kerrigan, Queen of Blades and Zerg Queen, is one of the major characters from the StarCraft series.
== Charactah Account ==
Kerrigan was once a Terran Ghost - a skilled covert ops soldier with (inhibited) psychic abilities. Kerrigan in particular has a rather elaborate backstory, in which it's explained that her psionics are far more powerful than any other human's. In the events of StarCraft, she begins by fighting alongside Acturus Mengsk and Raynor, until she is betrayed by the former (prompting the latter to leave the newly-founded Dominion) and left to her supposed demise at the hands of the Zerg. Following this, it is revealed that she has been captured by the Zerg and infested, making her an incredibly powerful agent of the Zerg Swarm.
In the events of Starcraft: Brood War, following the Overmind's death, Kerrigan takes it upon herself to dispose of the remaining 'leaders' of the Zerg Swarm - the Cerebrates - in order to gain control of it while manipulating and deceiving all the other factions in the process. In the end, she claims control of the entire Zerg species for herself while crippling most other factions, setting herself up as the self-proclaimed "Queen of Blades".

== Trivia ==
* As of October 9, 2005 the battle.net web site contained a hidden image of Kerrigan saying "Help me Jim Raynor...you're my only hope!". The animated GIF image and the text can be found at the bottom of the main page. In order to reveal them the user has to click the round object above the Blizzard image. This is a possible reference to Princess Leia ("Help me Obi-wan Kenobi... You're my only hope!") from Star Wars.
* A diorama of the Queen of Blades exists in Blizzard Entertainment's office in Irvine, California.
* Kerrigan has ranked well in fan polls of game villains, and was voted as fans' favorite female character of Wings of Liberty (in her terran form).
* Kerrigan's ghost number designation, 24601, is a possible reference to the number Jean Valjean was designated as a prisoner in the Bagne de Toulon in Victor Hugo's 1862 novel/play Les Miserables.
* Kerrigan was incorrectly labeled as a Dominion ghost on the StarCraft Twitter feed. In reality, she was a ghost of the Confederacy, not the Dominion.
* In the 2013–2018 period, Kerrigan's article was the most visited page on the wiki.
