The Milky Way
The Milky Way, or simply the Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy that forms part of the Local Group.
A great deal of the galaxy's history has been shaped by the xel'naga, a species from beyond the galaxy who traveled to the Milky Way, where they seeded life on countless worlds.[1] They have been referred to as "the most powerful species the galaxy has ever known."[2] Nevertheless, they met their end at the claws of the zerg.[1]
Currently, protoss, zerg, and humanity stand as the galaxy's dominant species.[3]
In a possible future however, the galaxy was "cauterized" by the Dark Voice, paving the way for it to shape all life in its own image.[4][5]

The galaxy can broadly be divided into its center/core, its spiral arms, and its fringe—the points of origin for zerg, humanity, and protoss, respectively.[1] Areas of space can be further sub-divided through sectors, quadrants, planetary regions and star systems.
