| Sarah Kerrigan was an unwilling participant in the Confederacy's testing of Ghosts (which, according to their flawless performance in the game, seems highly successful, despite lore's reporting that many of the trainees died through such despicable situations as a "final exam" in which the test taker must kill a Marine holding a child hostage before the Marine fires, as told in Liberty's Crusade). After being freed by Mengsk in Uprising, she becomes his loyal servant, saying that she owes her soul to him. This becomes ironic in light of the fact that she loses her soul to the Overmind, who forces her to fight against her supposed savior. | | Sarah Kerrigan was an unwilling participant in the Confederacy's testing of Ghosts (which, according to their flawless perform |

| Sarah Kerrigan is actually the smartest character in the game, although possibly tying with Duran (we have yet to see). Coupled with her control of a significant portion of the Swarms, her intellect makes her a dangerous foe. Through much of Brood War, she demonstrates her tacts and skill in diplomacy and intrigue against her foes, who become convinced that she is their ally before realizing too late that she is only taking advantage of them. | | Sarah Kerrigan is actually the smartest character in the game, although possibly tying with Duran (we have yet to see).

| ===Edmund Duke=== | | ===Edmund Duke=== |
| This general was once on the side of the Confederacy but after his Battlecruiser crashed on a strange planet, he was forced to join the Sons of Korhal in order to destroy the Confederacy.
| |
|
| |
| In episode 2 he was sent to defeat the Zerg on Char but failed.
| |
|
| |
| In episode 3 he sent a group of Wraiths and Battlecruisers to destroy the Protoss that were attacking key Terran bases.
| |
|
| |
| In the Brood War he was killed by Kerrigan's forces, so the Dominion would be weakened without their general.
| |
|
| |
| ===Duran===
| |
| In the Terran campaign he was a Ghost and part of the Confederacy Resistance group that wants to overthrow the Terran Dominion. During the events of the Terran campaign he was introducing various objects like the Psi Disrupter and was personally responsible for betraying the UED to Kerrigans Zerg.

| ===Admiral Gerard DuGalle===
| |
| DuGalle spent most of his life defending Earth from its enemies. By 64 years of age and with countless victories to his credit, he was considered to be the greatest military leader within the United Powers League.
| |
|
| |
| The UPL, having been aware of the results Doran Routhe's failed experiment to colonize new planets for Earth for some time (even when the United Powers League was still in power), decided to send an expeditionary force to the Koprulu Sector sometime during the first battles fought by protoss, terrans and zerg. The expeditionary force was tasked with pacifying the sector; bringing the terran worlds which the newly christened United Earth Directorate regarded as "rogue colonies" under its control and containing the zerg and protoss. Given the extreme nature of the expedition, DuGalle was unanimously nominated to be entrusted with the mission of commanding the expeditionary force, having three primary objectives:
| |
|
| |
| #Conquer all of the "rogue" terran colonies, and capture Arcturus Mengsk, the emperor of the Terran Dominion.
| |
| #Take control of the entire Zerg Swarm by capturing the newborn Overmind with psychics and powerful drugs.
| |
| #Use the captured Zerg Swarm to pacify all protoss activity within the sector.
| |
|
| |
| DuGalle accepted the mission, though he was uncomfortable with using the zerg to achieve victory, feeling that they represented an unnecessary risk and would rather employ more conventional tactics. Regardless, DuGalle commanded the force from the UED flagship, Aleksander, with his friend Alexei Stukov as his Executive Officer.

| Stukov is the second in command of Dugalle. He got killed by Duran but latter end up reborned and infested in [[StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm]].
