    Yes, this was the best part of the game. He caused the death of all his men. Serves him right.

    Yes. The Hyperion warped to Auir with the Gantrithor.

    The original ships that sent the Terrans from earth were travelling at warp speeds. But not through a worm hole.

    the zerg must fly REALLY fast to be able to capture the terrans moving at warp speeds....

    Yes well overlords only move slow in atmosphere or near platforms because of the gravity and friction. However, in open space they really open up and are ridiculously fast. Same with mutalisks. With no friction slowing them down in space, each flap of their wings makes them go faster and faster until they are going at warp speeds.

    how do mutas move in space because they use wings and there is no medium in space?

    They use solar winds.
    Solar winds are very powerful. Of course this now questions how they travel in deep space away from suns. They probably use dark matter or something ridiculous or they straighten out and fire in the opposite direction they want to move and use it like an engine. An engine of death.

    hmm... yeah it could be solar winds. then if they really need to the zerg can open up wormholes too.

    Thats true. They probably worm holed to the terran fleet.

    She was indirectly defined as a Cerebrate in Chapter II, so your statement is true.

    But she is Overmind in concept only, and like a Cerebrate can hold no power over another Cerebrate, she cannot control more Zerg than those she has forced Cerebrates to relinquish in return for their lives, and those she has retaken from the UED (which is more or less the whole Swarm). She is the closest to an Overmind as any creature in the Korprulu sector can get, but she is no Overmind.

    Come on guys, Observation will tell you how they move through space. They flap their wings. HahahahAH!

    Also Kerrigan already controls a large number of hives, though SirBaron's explanation is quite the head banger (in a good way.)

    That wasn't funny in any way, and if you were even a bit serious; flapping stuff in space doesn't work.

    Well, she was all like "Serve me and you shall not die" to the Cerebrate from Chapter II. She could have done the same to most Zerg Cerebrates prior to UED's invasion. Also, Cerebrates are sentient beings unlike the remaining 99% of the Swarm, and even though the Overmind held sway over them i don't think it was only their bond to the Overmind that made them obey him.
    I think that another reason why they followed him with unyielding loyalty was that they naturally trusted in his judgement, for example, when Kerrigan went all "OMG I R LEVEL 70 AND GOT LIEK TIER 5 d00d U SUX CAUSE U R LOWBIE NOOB" on Zasz for reconsidering a direct attack on the Protoss, Zasz questioned the Overmind's choice to let her run rampant. If the Overmind's will was truly unquestionable, then it could not be questioned, yet it was questioned by Zasz.

    Also, as it is evidenced with Zasz's death and the Overmind's shock state, the Cerebrates were all forced to control the Swarm individually without their common guidance of the Overmind. This led me to my belief that no Cerebrate can control another Cerebrate, and as Kerrigan is not an Overmind but a mere Cerebrate, she cannot control other Cerebrates as other Cerebrates cannot control her. So technically, if she lets her guard down, some Cerebrate would foolishly "stab" her, in a metaphorical sense.
    It's her sheer amount of Zerg and her powerful will and unyielding influence over the Swarm (in addition to some life threats here and there) that keeps the Cerebrates loyal to her and keep herself sitting on the throne of the Zerg (and Korprulu Sector).

    Well, that's how i speculate on things.

    its not life threats that the cerebrates fear is worse than death-many deaths they would just ressurect if they died and she would kill them again.

    cerabrates are not all equal, they at least have some ranking sytem, as kerrigan and daggoth are both the most powerful following the overmind,a nd he did say that kerrigan was his greatest creation, obviously surpassing the average cerabrate

    I'm guessing that somewhere in the middle of the story Duran comes in with his hybrids and screws everyone over. He did just kinda...disappear...
