Mission 9: The Invasion of Aiur

Conditions for winning

• Take a Drone to the Khaydarin Crystal Formation

Conditions for losing

• All your buildings are destroyed
• The Khaydarin Crystal Formation is destroyed after your Drone has infiltrated it

After you start, place a few Sunken Coloneies for defense, but build a second Hatchery and get from 24 to 36 Zerglings as fast as you can. Move them east and then south to the Crystal, encountering Protoss along the way.

But with your Hunter Killers you should be able to do this and leave the path open for a Drone to arrive. Once your Drone has arrived, keep pumping out Hydralisk and Zerglings reinforcements to send down south to the Crystal Fromation.

Hold the Crystal for 10 minutes and win. The key to this mission is speed, and if you're fast enough, you can win it very easily. Remember to constantly feed your unit number by building another Hatcery and send them all down south to the crystals. Do not let the Protoss take the Crystal Formation, or the mission's over.
