Mar Sara, another planet in StarCraft II universe

Another planet is added to the  StarCraft II universe - Mar Sara. This planet is second inhabitable planet in Sara system. It was always is the shadow of the more prosperous Chau Sara. In addition to that it was the first planet where Confederation fought Zerg.

Fighting was done by local militia forces who were later arrested for the same reason. Arcturus Mengsk, leader of rebel group Sons of Korhal solved the injustice by freeing the prisoners.

Arcturus obtained and revealed information about Confederation knowing about Zerg arrival and the sacrifice of Mar Sara in order to test a secret weapon that incited the Zerg invasion.

To make things better Executor Tassadar of Protoss incinerated the planet, just as he did with Chau Sara.

Bombarding of the planet has changed the minerals on the planet so they are unique. (maybe we'll see yellow crystals here...) 

 

Terrans are now returning to Mar Sara and establishing several outposts. There are some reports of Zerg sightings...

 

Some statistics about the planet:

  • Population: 80 000 Terran, Zerg - unknown
  • Allegiance: Kel-Morian
  • Diameter/Gravity: 9265 km, 1.09 standard
  • Axial tilt/Climate: 13.5º, ±34ºC, very low humidity

From the description Mar Sara will be rich in minerals and gas so resources should not be the problem. Here are the screenshots for this incinerated desert planet.
