Now a general, Duke tried to intervene, but his ship fell victim to a zerg attack. Mengsk quickly stirred up a full-scale revolt against Confederate forces on Antiga Prime. Raynor and Kerrigan developed into a formidable team. On the planet of Antiga Prime he worked with Mengsk's second-in-command, Sarah Kerrigan-formerly a ghost, one of the Confederacy's elite psionic assassins-whom Mengsk had liberated from the government's neural conditioning. Thoroughly disillusioned, Raynor joined the Sons of Korhal. He and the rebel leader, Arcturus Mengsk, evacuated everyone they could from Mar Sara before the protoss fleet reappeared and incinerated the planet.

Freed by the rebels, Raynor uncovered proof that the Confederacy had anticipated the zerg's arrival. The bestial zerg spread too swiftly to be stopped. It took the arrival of an anti-Confederacy rebel group called the Sons of Korhal to begin any sort of organized resistance to the aliens, which had become known as the zerg.

Further alien attacks broke out on the planet. The Confederacy reacted by imprisoning Raynor and his men. Realizing there could be no survivors, he and his men destroyed it. He found a terran outpost that had been infested by unknown alien organisms. Surprisingly the protoss retreated, and Colonel Duke proudly declared the retreat a Confederate victory.īack on Mar Sara, Marshal Jim Raynor responded to a distress call out in the wastelands. Reeling from the unprovoked attack, the Confederacy sent a fleet led by Colonel Edmund Duke, to protect the nearby colony of Mar Sara.
