The Evacuation

The Evacuation is a StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty mission. Raynor's Raiders helped evacuate the fringe colony of Agria after it was abandoned by the Terran Dominion.

Agria Invaded
On the outbreak of the Second Great War, the Terran Dominion withdrew its forces to the Core Worlds. Abandoned by the Dominion, Agria's defenses were quickly overwhelmed by the zerg.

The Agrians sought to evacuate the colony and join other refugees en route to the Core Worlds. However, the evacuation soon bogged down. The settlement and main starport remained in the hands of local defense forces, but the zerg cut the road between the two. Doctor Ariel Hanson, representing the colonists, broadcast an appeal for help to break the blockade and escort the colonists to the port.

The appeal was received by the rebel group, Raynor's Raiders, aboard the battlecruiser, Hyperion. Matt Horner passed it on to Jim Raynor, who ordered the Raiders into action.

Evacuation
The Raiders initially deployed firebats some distance from the settlement. They broke through zerg resistance and linked up with the defenses. The Raiders were granted control of the local structures and began escorting truck convoys down the road to the starport.

The rebels discovered the departed Dominion garrison had constructed a string of roadside bunkers; these were duly taken over.

The last colonists departed in Hercules dropships as the zerg overran the starport.

Aftermath
The Agrians made there way to the refugee staging point at Meinhoff. Doctor Hanson decided to stay on with the Raiders until the Agrians could find a more permanent place to settle. Raynor accepted her offer to bolster the rebel's meagre scientific and medical expertise.

UNN reporter Kate Lockwell intended to appear on Vermillion Live from abandoned Agria, but her segment was ultimately cut in favor of Emperor Arcturus Mengsk's announcement of the reinstatement of General Horace Warfield.
