Battle over Char (Omega)

The Battle of Char Aleph was the perhaps the major battle occurred in the Brood War, confronting the Kerrigan's Zerg Swarm and a conglomerate of the Dominion fleet, the UED remaining fleet and the Protoss fleet, occuring in the space platform Char Aleph, in high orbit over the planet Char.

History
Shortly after the Kerrigan's victory on Char, three separate fleets converged on Char Aleph, the infested orbital platform used as a staging area for the Zerg. This came at a bad time for Kerrigan. She was aboard but Samir Duran had vanished and most of the broods were on the planet surface. Only a single Cerebrate (the Kerrigan's lieutenant Cerebrate) and brood were positioned to defend the platform.

Arcturus Mengsk contacted Kerrigan to gloat. When asked how the Dominion has assembled a force so quickly after its recent defeat, Mengsk revealed he had "called in a few favors" and "made a few concessions" to other parties in the sector interested in seeing Kerrigan defeated. Kerrigan replied that Mengsk's three fleets did not frighten her, but he claimed to have no knowledge of the other two.

Artanis then contacted Kerrigan from 'his' fleet. He was there to take revenge for the deaths of Fenix, Matriarch Raszagal, and all other Protoss who had been killed by her Zerg. Mengsk, tuning in to the conversation, laughed at Kerrigan, asking if she could guess which faction directed the third fleet. Kerrigan replied using a human expression: "When it rains, it pours."

Kerrigan guessed it was Admiral DuGalle and the United Earth Directorate fleet, and DuGalle replied that she was correct. He gave her one last chance to surrender to the UED, but Kerrigan said she would rather massacre his troops now and watch DuGalle die in agony. DuGalle gallantly replied that she vastly underestimated him, but Kerrigan's reply was ... impolite.

One Brood stood on the space platform against the three fleets. Mengsk's forces used mainly Siege Tanks and nuclear missiles, Artanis' forces used the typical Protoss psionic attacks, and DuGalle's forces used mainly spacecraft. However, all three forces had suffered heavy defeats in the past and were only a shadow of their former power. Kerrigan's Zerg achieved victory against each of the fleets.

When she defeated Mengsk, he said that he would be waiting for her to slip up, but did not specify what he intended to do if and when that happened.

When she defeated Artanis, he told her the Protoss would never forget her treachery.

When she defeated DuGalle, who had caused her particularly grave trouble after arriving in the Koprulu Sector, DuGalle asked for surrender. Kerrigan said that she didn't take prisoners, and that he should flee towards Earth. She said that it would be interesting sport to see how far away they got before they died.
