Canceled Installments[]
Ghost Academy was planned to have three more volumes, but Tokyopop shut down before this could happen. Nonetheless, Blizzard's creative team plotted out where the three volumes would have gone and provided them to Nate Kenyon—author of StarCraft: Ghost: Spectres, so the novel would remain consistent with the plotted canon. Micky Neilson would nonetheless like to give Ghost Academy "lost chapters" treatment.[11]
It is known that Volume 4 would have revealed that Arcturus Mengsk had sent the drop pod to Shi in an effort to eliminate the Old Family heirs.[12]

Notes[]
- Ghost Academy was intended to be a "midquel" between StarCraft: Ghost: Nova and StarCraft: Ghost: Spectres. Keith R. A. DeCandido was initially contracted to write all issues of Ghost Academy, but when Chris Metzen left Blizzard Entertainment, the new creative team wanted a new direction for series, so the writer was changed to David Gerrold.[13]
