How the StarCraft Name Generator works
This StarCraft name generator gives names in the style of the Koprulu Sector: Terran soldiers such as Sergeant Cole Halloway, Protoss warriors such as Executor Taladar of the Akilae, and Zerg broods and strains such as the Ravening Brood. Use them for fan fiction, custom campaigns and gamer tags.
How the StarCraft name generator handles each race
Each race in StarCraft sounds different, and the generator keeps them apart. Terrans are frontier humans, descendants of convicts and colonists, so they get plain working-class names, a military rank and often a nickname. Protoss are an ancient, proud people with flowing names built from soft and hard syllables, like Tassadar, Artanis and Zeratul, and titles such as Executor or Hierarch. Zerg names are guttural and short, with broods named for what they do, like a pack of predators.
Tribes, broods and ranks
Protoss belong to tribes, and naming a tribe gives a character a history and a loyalty. Zerg are organised into broods led by cerebrates or brood mothers, and strains are the evolved variants of a unit. Terran characters usually come with a unit and a rank, so a full name like Commander Mira Stroud tells you where they sit in the chain of command.

FAQ
How do Protoss names work?
Protoss names are usually two or three syllables with a flowing sound, such as Tassadar, Artanis or Vorazun, often paired with a title like Executor, Hierarch or Matriarch and a tribe. The generator follows that pattern.
What makes a good Zerg name?
Zerg names are harsh and short, heavy on k, z and r sounds, like Zagara, Abathur and Kerrigan's broods. Brood names describe behaviour or appearance, which suits a hive that thinks of its members as tools.
Are these official StarCraft characters?
No. The generator invents names in the game's style. A few syllables appear in canon names, so a combination may resemble an existing character by chance.
