Micro Marine is the third episode in the first season of StarCrafts.
Plot[]
Following the events after the previous episode, "Supply Block", Bob the Ragelot runs after a fleeing marine while a second marine kites him. Eventually, both the marines attack him. Two other marines watch them from the top of a ledge, and they climb down to join the chase. Bob takes a ride on sentry casting a guardian shield. They enter the unseen protoss base, but three out of four marines intrude while one gets bumped by a sentry's force field. The three are killed from the base and the blocked marine flees.

- It may also be a pun on Micro Machines, a brand of toy vehicles.
In-game References[]
