Why invade the terran sector?

[Turalyon]

Because in the released version, as Gradius noted, there's very little reason for Kerrigan's invasion of the Koprulu Sector.

Gradius' makes the assumption that Kerrigan is after the artifacts given the obtuse setup of WoL. He is questioning why Kerrigan is invading Terran space predominantly (or so it seems) for said artifacts.

We actually already know why Kerrigan wants to invade the Terran sector generally speaking since BW - she's just a power-hungry and psychotic bitch.

Ah, but Brood War itself tells us she decided to leave the Sector alone for a time, so it still requires a reason: why come back now?

[Gradius]

She directly tells us she wants the artifacts.

"I know what the artifacts do. And they will be mine!"

The ending of BW already established that the terrans are no threat to her. The artifacts & Narud on the other hand...

Isn't that obvious? That "alone time", which was arbitrarily determined by Kerrigan to begin with, is now "over" (once again determined arbitrarily in length by Kerrigan). As Raynor said, "She's come to finish the job".

My bad. It's hard to remember specific things in WoL when you can't help but want to forget it all at the same time.

Except there was also this bit:

And alone, floating on a dark platform above the burnt-out planet of Char, Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, sat and lorded over the ravenous Swarms. Unable to shake the feeling that a great threat loomed just over the horizon, Kerrigan could only stare off into the vastness of space where she beheld a great void. Or perhaps a reflection of a hollow victory and of the trials yet to come...

[Turalyon]

^ What about it?

It wasn't as if this was some great epiphany on Kerrigan's part. It was just a "feeling", a comment on her lost (lingering?) humanity. To stretch this metaphor to snapping point, she had won the right to brood (as in thinking deeply about troubled thoughts). Even then, Kerrigan is the sort of character who would just ignore epiphanies anyway...

I mean the part about the looming threat.

Yes? So? What I said about it being just a "feeling" still applies there.

I think Kerrigan's comment about the galaxy burning and facing oblivion implies she doesn't think it's just a feeling anymore :P.
