Korhal

Korhal IV is a Terran colony. This planet rose up against the Confederacy, and in retaliation the Confederacy launched a massive planetary bombardment of nuclear weaponry aimed at eliminating the dissents, transforming the planet into a nuclear desert and causing mutations in local organisms, such as Scantids. The survivors of the rebellion called themselves the Sons of Korhal.

By the time of the fall of the Confederacy, the planet had detoxified enough to allow resettlement. Sons of Korhal leader Arcturus Mengsk made it the throne world of the Terran Dominion, the successor to the Sons of Korhal. More recently, the planet changed hands among the Terran Dominion, the United Earth Directorate, and the Terran Dominion again. Before the devastation, its capital was Styrling. The new capital is Augustgrad.
