    Commodore Magellan was a cybernetic construct who commanded a science vessel during the Great War. He was assigned to Alpha Squadron following the rise to power of the Terran Dominion after the fall of the Confederacy. Magellan was assigned to an operation to neutralize terran crime lord Alan Schezar and his militia, Schezar's Scavengers, by Emperor Arcturus Mengsk himself,who feared Schezar's control over a zerg cerebrate and its brood. Magellan teamed up with fellow Alpha Squadron Colonel Tom Kazansky during the operation.

    During the mission briefing for the Alpha Squadron's next mission, Magellan picked up a transmission on the hyper-waveform emitter, which he showed to Mengsk and the unnamed Alpha Squadron commander. Somehow protoss Praetor Mojo was able to contact him telepathically from a stasis cell. Mojo advised rescuing a number of protoss whom Schezar had imprisoned in the vicinity of the cerebrate. He also advised not killing the cerebrate, as this would cause the zerg to run rampant and overrun both forces.

    Mengsk arrogantly ignored the request of protoss Praetor Mojo, but both Kazansky and Magellan decided to rescue the captive protoss from Schezar's Scavengers. After rescuing the protoss, the renegade Alpha Squadron members later traveled to Aiur, seeking to rescue the protoss Praetor, Mojo, from the same Scavengers, in which they succeeded.

    The renegade Alpha Squadron forces and protoss warriors under Praetor Mojo's command assaulted  Schezar's main base on Aiur along with its associated zerg cerebrate. During the battle, Magellan detected the presence of a unique breed of ultralisk, the Torrasque. Praetor Mojo informed the renegade Alpha Squadron commander and Magellan that the Torrasque could reincarnate from death, but Magellan noted its genetic similarity to Schezar's pet cerebrate. He believed killing his cerebrate would prevent the Torrasque from reincarnating. Magellan was last seen attacking the Schezar's Scavengers base on Aiur, seeking to destroy its enslaved cerebrate and Torrasque. The combined terran and protoss forces were successful in destroying Schezar's base.
