Mar Sara
In the fictional
StarCraft universe,
Mar Sara was a core
Terran Confederacy colony in the
Koprulu Sector. It is the setting for the beginning of the game's
first campaign; the player's identity is that of the Magistrate of the colony.
Shortly after the
Protoss attack on
Chau Sara, Mar Sara was thoroughly infested by
Zerg, which spread over the planet, killing colonists and Confederate soldiers. The
Sons of Korhal helped to evacuate the planet, saving many colonists from the Zerg. Eventually, the
Confederacy, which had been holding out on fighting the Zerg, decided to evacuate as well.
The infestation abruptly came to an end when the
Protoss, under the command of Executor
Tassadar, arrived and sterilized the planet, killing all life on the surface as part of the
Protoss Conclave's campaign to stop the spread of the Zerg. However, unlike its sister planet
Chau Sara, Tassadar held out until the
Terrans had had enough time to evacuate as well.
Four years
in the future, Mar Sara has become the property of the
Terran Dominion and is the home of a
terrazine refinery.
*While the Planet it self plays no important role in the rebelion against the Confederation the Militia leader (the player) would make many important victorys ending in the winning of the rebelion. Also Jim Raynor a important person in Starcrafts storyline came from it. This way Mar Sara had a big influnce on the conflicts of Starcraft.
* The Blue Terran faction is named Militia of Mar Sara in the score picture. Even in Broodwar.
