Smash and Grab

Smash and Grab is a StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty mission. Raynor's Raiders retrieved an alien artifact for the from Monlyth. The Raiders took the artifact from the resisting Tal'darim before the zerg could secure it for themselves.

Artifacts
The archaeological contacted Raynor's Raiders through Tychus Findlay and hired the Raiders to retrieve an artifact from Monlyth.

The artifact was guarded by "protoss fanatics" who refused to turn it over to Raynor, a terran with notable protoss connections. The operation was made more urgent by the zerg; the Swarm was on the planet and sought the artifact for themselves.

The Heist
The Raiders beat the zerg to the artifact, even though the latter were constantly reinforced by sacs. The terrans defeated the four guardian stone zealots and a dropship took the artifact away.

Infested Kerrigan contacted Raynor and voiced her annoyance at his success. She would not forget his penchant for resourcefulness a second time.

Queen of Blades
Following their exploits, Matt Horner caught Tychus Findlay looking at videos of Infested Kerrigan in their database. Horner had not given Findlay access, however.

Gameplay
Raynor's Raiders will recieve marauders starting this mission; they are excellent for taking out stalkers and are better at soaking up fire than marines. Using a good mix of marauders, marines and medics is a good way to beat the mission. Kerrigan takes quite some time to reach the artifact, so there's no rush.

There are three Protoss research points available on the map. The first is located to the west of the starting point, where Raynor's men will need to fight through a small zerg outpost and then some stalkers and photon cannons. The second is in between the two bridges on the way to the protoss base, defended by three proton cannons. The last is tucked away in a narrow peninsula behind the protoss base.
