Epilogue

After the destruction of Shakuras, the UED spent the rest of their time wiping out the remaining protoss. Using the zerg, they scoured the sector, destroying protoss outposts and colonies. They also came upon the remaining protoss factions such as the Tal'darim. They were destroyed as well. With the protoss dead, there was only one remaining alien race - the zerg.

The UED knew that their control over the overmind wasn't going to last forever. As the overmind matured, it might begin to resist their control. As such, once the protoss were destroyed the zerg became a liability. The UED used the overmind to take control of all of the remaining zerg in the sector, including the feral broods. If there were any zerg that couldn't be subjugated, they were wiped out.

Finally, the zerg swarm was all gathered in one place. The hive clusters on all other planets had been razed, and the entire swarm was brought to Char. All of the zerg in the galaxy had been gathered and it was now time for the final purge.

The zerg destroyed all of their structures on Char and loaded up into their overlords. Then, they were all sent into the star at the center of the Char system. The zerg were incinerated, the endless numbers consumed by the heat of a star.

All that was left was the overmind and its cerebrates, which were all gathered in one place. Then, the UED fleet began bombarding the overmind, using its most powerful nuclear weapons to completely incinerate the area. The entire area was completely slagged and after days of intense bombardment, no trace was left of the overmind and the cerebrates. With nowhere to go and no biomass to reincarnate with, the overmind and its cerebrates died, and with their demise the zerg swarm was no more.

Amon was trapped in the Void, having no servants left in the mortal world. Duran had been killed, sent back to the Void. Both the zerg and the protoss were wiped out, the hybrid project stopped before it could even get started. The horrible fate facing the galaxy was averted.

Humanity took its place as the dominant species in the galaxy. With all outside threats destroyed, the terran worlds were able to develop in peace, not having to fight a war against the alien species that would seek to exterminate them. It was the golden age of humanity, and it was all thanks to one man.

Author's Note:

And we are done with this story. In the beginning, I unfortunately had to stick to the original timeline, and I was quite frustrated with that as well. But finally I was able to cut loose and taken the story off the rails. Writing became much more enjoyable after that. Well, now we have finally reached the end. I hope you all enjoyed the story.
