United Earth Directorate.

Name of the futuristic totalitarian government of Earth found in the game Starcraft. Committed a mass genocide of criminals, psychics and mutants to retain the "purity of the human race". Akin to the Nazi Germany in this sense, and that of an uber-bureaucracy.

First makes their appearance in Brood War, in which a fleet is sent to fight the Protoss and Zerg onslaught. At first does amazingly well, winning numerous battles and taking over the Zerg homeworld of Char; even enslaving the Overmind. Later defeated by the Queen of Blades, so totally that no ship ever makes it back to Earth to tell of what transpired.

Better be back in Starcraft 2.
Excerpt from United Earth News report:

Zerg!
The very mention of this terrifying race once brought fear to all who heard it.
But now we can all rest easy, as our own forces now occupy their very home world of, Char.
Months have passed since our initial confrontation with the Zerg. And now Directorate forces have taken control of the planet Char, long since rumored to cradle the malevolent Overmind of the Zerg.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
