Sons of Korhal

The roots of the Sons of Korhal was the foundation of colonies by the Terran Confederacy, based on Tarsonis. Korhal IV, one of the colonies, became the "jewel" of the Confederacy. The Sons of Korhal are a military organization in the fictional StarCraft universe, founded after the destruction of the colony world of Korhal. ... In the StarCraft universe, the Terran Confederacy was an interstellar confederacy set by the Terrans of the Koprulu Sector. ... Tarsonis was the capital of the Terran Confederacy in the StarCraft universe. ... Korhal IV was an important Terran Confederacy core world, considered the jewel of the Confederacy. ...

However, the people of Korhal felt oppressed by the corrupt Confederate Senators, and eventually rioted against the Confederates. Korhalian Senator Angus Mengsk became a leader of the Korhalian revolt, but the Confederates sent Ghosts to assassinate him. His head was never found. Terrans are the name used for humans in the fictional StarCraft universe to distinguish them from real-life humans. ... Ghosts are covert operatives in the StarCraft universe. ...

Arcturus Mengsk, Angus's son, was embarrassed by his father's actions. However, he was outraged by the death of his family and returned to Korhal to continue the rebellion. Arcturus Mengsk is a character in the StarCraft universe. ...

It was shortly after this that Mengsk was believed to be in secret negotiations with the Umojan Protectorate. This may never be known, due to recent events, but it was at this time, at a base deep in Umojan space, he received word the Confederacy had glassed Korhal IV. This hardened his resolve to defeat the Confederacy at any cost. The Sons of Korhal were born.

Despite his small forces, he was determined to strike a huge blow against the Terran Confederacy. Despite his group's efforts, the Confederates had officially ignored them, even censoring their attacks from the news media or passing them off as isolated incidents. In the StarCraft universe, the Terran Confederacy was an interstellar confederacy set by the Terrans of the Koprulu Sector. ...

StarCraft: Uprising reveals that the Confederates locked up Zerg in a secret facility on the planet Vyctor 5 in a complex called the Fujita Facility, surrounded by a complex weather formation known as the Fujita Pinnacle. The StarCraft universe is a fictional universe in which the StarCraft series of computer games and books are set. ...

The weather complex did not raise any suspicions from the local population, and infiltrating it was nearly impossible due to the hazardous weather and the powerful defenses within. As a result, no one before had ever gotten inside. Nonetheless, Arcturus Mengsk did penetrate inside the facility, shortly after the devastating Confederate attack on Korhal (an attack which had left the rebel organization Sons of Korhal with fewer than a hundred members). Mengsk had used a powerful new addition to his arsenal, a formerly Confederate vessel he had renamed the Hyperion. Mengsk was unaware of the Zerg's presence inside the facility. He had gone hunting for a Ghost operative, Sarah Kerrigan, for reasons unknown to even his allies. He was quite surprised to find her as part of an experiment involving these xenomorphs. Not knowing what to make of them, his soldiers killed the few Zerg specimens and took the scientists with them. Shortly thereafter, Mengsk led an attack on the primary Ghost Academy on Tarsonis itself. Most of the Sons of Korhal assault group were killed in this mission, but Kerrigan survived. Arcturus Mengsk is a character in the StarCraft universe. ... The Sons of Korhal are a military organization in the fictional StarCraft universe, founded after the destruction of the colony world of Korhal. ... Sarah Kerrigan—who calls herself the Queen of Blades—is a character in the fictional StarCraft universe. ... The Zerg are an alien race in the StarCraft universe. ...

The coming of the Zerg and Protoss

StarCraft: Loomings, a Blizzard Entertainment StarCraft Map of the Month, further establishes that, years later, Mengsk's Sons of Korhal, perhaps interested in these Zerg (now that Kerrigan was one of his top officers) or seeking to undermine Confederate authority in outlying planets, raided Chau Sara, on November 8th, 2499. The operation was perilous, as Chau Sara would quickly become the temporary headquarters of Alpha Squadron, generally acknowledged as the best of the Confederate Squadrons. Chau Sara's Colonial Magistrate Collins had called them in. Arcturus Mengsk is a character in the StarCraft universe. ... The Sons of Korhal are a military organization in the fictional StarCraft universe, founded after the destruction of the colony world of Korhal. ... The Zerg are an alien race in the StarCraft universe. ... Chau Sara is a planet featured in the popular game Starcraft. ... In the StarCraft universe, the Terran Confederacy was an interstellar confederacy set by the Terrans of the Koprulu Sector. ...

The Colonial Forces fended off the Sons of Korhal with help from Alpha Squadron, but shortly afterwards they made hostile contact with the Zerg (which at the time were still known to them only as "xenomorphs"). This minor attack was repelled by the Confederates. Immediately after the encounter with the Zerg, an obscure group identifying itself as the Cerberus Recon Squad appeared. They were using advanced technology and claimed to have extensive knowledge of the xenomorphs, but were very disrespectful of Magistrate Collins. Nonetheless, they assisted in the destruction of the local Sons of Korhal base. Magistrate Collins confirmed to Alpha Squadron that he had known about these xenomorphs for quite some time. They were being studied in the Flannum Installation but contact to the facility had been lost. Now the installation was surrounded by xenomorphs, which had somehow created large, semi-organic structures, some of which were capable of defending themselves. Cerberus Recon Squad and Alpha Squadron cooperated in clearing a path to the installation. The Sons of Korhal are a military organization in the fictional StarCraft universe, founded after the destruction of the colony world of Korhal. ... In the computer game StarCraft, Alpha Squadron is the Terran Confederacy military unit under the command of General Edmund Duke. ... Cerberus Recon Squad is a military and scientific organization in the fictional StarCraft universe. ...

Cerberus said they knew the code for the installation (something only Magistrate Collins should have known), which enabled them to use the bio-scanners and confirm the presence of the scientists. However, they were unable to detect the xenomorphs, which had burrowed themselves in the installation floors. During the rescue of the scientists, the xenomorphs displayed some intelligence, utilizing Terran computers to set traps and even staging a counter-assault to prevent the rescue from outside the installation. However, Cerberus was an elite force, and with the support of security guards found hiding within the facility they overcame the xenopmorph infestation.

The xenomorphs attacked the city of Los Andares shortly after the rescue of the scientists, and so Alpha Squadron and Cerberus had to rescue the city. General Edmund Duke, the commander of Alpha Squadron, personally assisted in the defense of the Los Andares, fighting from his siege tank. Afterwards, Collins wanted to set up a tight defense against the xenomorphs but the Cerberus commander overruled him, actually taking command of the colony. Cerberus felt now was a good time to attack the primary Hive Clusters of the xenomorphs. Alpha Squadron and General Duke had to go along with this plan. Those xenomorphs were defeated on November 12th, and then Cerberus left with a warning: General Edmund Duke was the Terran Confederacy officer in charge of Alpha Squadron, a military force in the fictional StarCraft universe. ...

"By edict of Confederate High Command, all matters regarding these xenomorphs are under Class 7 Seal. Do not speak of the existence of the xenomorphs or in any way relay the events surrounding their appearance on Chau Sara. Failure to comply with these orders will result in immediate termination. This conversation never took place. We were never here."

However, within two months, open and public first contact with two alien species would be made. By this time, the xenomorphs had spread to Mar Sara, Brontes and Dylar IV. Mar Sara is a fictional planet in the StarCraft universe. ... The StarCraft universe is a fictional universe in which the StarCraft series of computer games and books are set. ... Dylar IV is a planet in the StarCraft universe. ...

First Contact

Tassadar, Protoss Executor of his famed Expeditionary Fleet, encountered a deep space probe by chance. The strange creature was brought and examined by scientists. However, the Protoss were mystified by what they had discovered. Eventually Tassadar ordered the creature be examined with a Khaydarin Crystal.

Tassadar approached Chau Sara, a Terran colony planet, on December 8th, 2499. The Zerg had completely covered the planet in Creep, an organic carpet, killing or infesting all of its inhabitants.
