How to Unlock StarCraft 2's Secret Mission

Some of you out there may be blowing through StarCraft 2's excellent campaign mode, and some of you may have even completed it, only to find that your mission log reads 25/26 missions completed. Wondering where that last mission is? Wonder no more, because we have the answer.

Spoiler Alert

Access to this mission takes place about 75% of the way through the game, so, although we'll do our best not to reveal anything story-wise, there are potential spoilers associated with this. If you don't want a single thing about SC2's campaign spoiled, stop reading now.

In the mission called "Media Blitz," you're in control of the massive war machine Odin. You can either perform this during the opening few minutes, or if you're careful and can keep Odin alive, use it once your base is established. Send Odin past the first little Dominion-controlled base on the bottom right, and turn right before you reach the first communication tower.

Following that road, you'll eventually come across an odd-looking building labeled as being under the control of "Korhal Citizens," although your mini-map indicates it is enemy-controlled. Send your units to "attack" the building (right-clicking won't do). It crumbles and reveals a glowing item called "Secret Documents." When you collect this, it unlocks a secret mission that plays a lot like the hero missions of Warcraft III. It is also awesome.

You need to do this before you go to Char, or before you complete the campaign, because you need access to the Star Map in order to access the unlocked mission.
