As the zerg descended on Tarsonis, Raynor began to question MengskвЂ™s sanity: no measure seemed too extreme for Mengsk if it achieved his goals. He overrode his lieutenantsвЂ™ misgivings and had General Duke place psi emitters on the unblemished and densely populated world. Next Mengsk struck at the ultimate prize, the world of Tarsonis, capital of the Confederacy. I am a Ghost, remember? Once weвЂ™ve dealt with the Protoss, we can do something about the Zerg. I know that becauseвЂ¦ well I just know it. The Protoss are coming to destroy the entire planet, not just the Zerg. Jimmy, drop the knight-in-shining-armor routine. Soon afterwards the protoss incinerated the planet from orbit, just as they had Chau Sara and Mar Sara. Mengsk ordered a psi emitter to be planted in the Confederate base on Antiga Prime, and the zerg swarmed in to destroy the Confederate forces. Tests of this new doomsday weapon had drawn the zerg to Mar Sara and other colonies.

However, Kerrigan and Mengsk discovered a terrible secret: Confederate scientists had constructed a вЂњpsi emitterвЂќ, a device that acted as a beacon for the zerg. Hastily the Confederacy sent reinforcement troops to the planet. In a stunning coup Mengsk persuaded the general to join the Sons of Korhal in exchange for saving DukeвЂ™s command and his life from the rampaging aliens.

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 MengskвЂ™s second-in-command, Sarah KerriganвЂ“formerly a ghost, one of the ConfederacyвЂ™s elite psionic assassinsвЂ“whom Mengsk had liberated from the governmentвЂ™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 zergвЂ™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. Mar SaraД«ack on Mar Sara, Marshal Jim Raynor responded to a distress call out in the wastelands. Surprisingly the protoss retreated, and Colonel Duke proudly declared the retreat a Confederate victory. Reeling from the unprovoked attack, the Confederacy sent a fleet led by Colonel Edmund Duke, to protect the nearby colony of Mar Sara. The advanced alien ships incinerated the planetвЂ™s surface without warning. The terran colonies first became aware they were not alone in the universe when a gleaming fleet of protoss warships suddenly emerged over the Confederate world of Chau Sara. In the decade after the end of the Guild Wars, the Terran Confederacy stood unchallenged in its supremacy over colonial space. Over several decades the terrans established colonies, spread to other planets, and came into conflict with one another. Bypassing their intended target, the ships crash-landed on three worlds scattered across the Koprulu sector.

Terrans first journeyed to the far edge of the galaxy when a navigational malfunction sent their automated colony vessels hurtling off course.
