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.

It was publically 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 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.
