A canister of terrazine
Terrazine gas is a mysterious potent psionic reagent. It is sought by protoss, zerg and terrans alike.[1] The protoss consider it "the Breath of Creation".[2]
Terrazine is similar to vespene gas, and contains additional substances. It possesses mind-altering qualities.[citation needed]
Sources are found on Mar Sara[3] as well as at shrines on Bel'shir, where the protoss gain psionic power.[4]
History
The refinery on Mar Sara
By 2503 the Terran Dominion had acquired and studied terrazine; scientists considered the side effects of terrazine enhancement to be "unpredictable".[5]
Terran Dominion Emperor Arcturus Mengsk and his new adviser, General Horace Warfield, have begun a secret project codenamed Shadow Blade. The program uses terrazine gas to alter the genetic makeup of ghosts. These ghosts are transformed into spectres – shadowy superhuman beings bent on executing the will of their "true master".[6]
Mar Sara featured a Dominion-operated "Vespene" Refinery 1138, a terrazine refinery on Mar Sara, disguised as a vespene refinery,[7] which was infested by zerg and had to be rescued by Nova (a ghost) and other Dominion forces.[8]
Gabriel Tosh hired Raynor's Raiders to retrieve seven canisters of terrazine from Bel'shir, a planet occupied by the Tal'darim, a protoss religious movement.[9]

Terrazine in StarCraft II
Terrazine is present in the campaign as an objective in the mission, Welcome to the Jungle. Raynor's Raiders attempted to collect it for their client, Gabriel Tosh, who was secretly collecting it to build an army of spectres. The Tal'darim, a group of protoss fanatics, attempted to hinder the Raider's efforts by attacking their SCVs and sealing off terrazine shrines, but to no avail. Raynor's men secured their quota and left the planet.
Development
Terrazine shrine on Bel'shir
Blizzard Entertainment stated that they are keen on exploring the idea of "this weird new substance" that could affect certain psychic abilities and the spectres, and they might make it into the game.[11] Blizzard employees again said it could be in StarCraft II at New York Comic Con.[10] References to the substance can be found at Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft II website[3] and in the game itself.[4]
