Khalai Refugees

The Khalai Refugees were Khalai who evacuated from Aiur following the Zerg invasion.

History
Following the deaths of most Protoss on Aiur and the destruction of the Conclave, Zeratul convinced a reluctant Aldaris to abandon Aiur. Zeratul would personally lead Khalai survivors to the Dark Templar homeworld, Shakuras, by using the last functional Warp Gate on Aiur.

The survivors were given three days to reach the Warp Gate, while Zeratul escorted warriors to the Warp Gate, fighting Zerg along the way.

In the fierce fighting at the Warp Gate itself, Praetor Fenix, Jim Raynor, Ladranix and other warriors defended the civilians, protecting them from the Zerg. However, these warriors were stranded on Aiur.

The refugees who made it to Shakuras settled into a base camp, looking for a site suitable for a more permanent settlement, when they were attacked by Renegade Zerg who had followed them through the Warp Gate. They were rescued by a Dark Templar warband, and given the task of destroying Zerg forces on the Shakuras side of the Gate.

Eventually the refugees settled into the more permanent settlement of New Antioch. However, these warriors were stranded on Aiur.

Rebellion
While Artanis and Zeratul were collecting relics to aid in the fight against the Zerg, Aldaris discovered a dark secret; Infested Kerrigan, their putative ally, was mentally manipulating the Dark Templar matriarch, Raszagal.

Seizing control of a legion of Khalai survivors, including loyalist Templar warriors and Arbiters, Aldaris led a revolt against Raszagal. The Matriarch claimed, when Artanis and Zeratul returned to Shakuras, that Aldaris and his followers were motivated by prejudice.

The Fleet of the Matriarch, bereft of some of their most powerful forces, fought against Aldaris' loyalist Templar forces, defeating them. However, Aldaris revealed that his reasons for the revolt were sound, when Kerrigan arrived, slaying him.

Aftermath
Khalai Refugees fought alongside the Dark Templar in the defense of the Dark Templar capital, Talematros, against the Zerg Swarm. However, they were defeated by the clever plans laid by Samir Duran.

A combined mission was launched against the Zerg at Char, but Infested Kerrigan's forces defeated them as well.

On Shakuras, the Khalai and Dark Templar are attempting to mesh their societies together, though the process has been difficult. Artanis has been named "Hierarch", the supreme leader of the reunited Protoss people, and has been focusing on merging the two sects of Protoss society together. Some Protoss cannot understand that the Khalai and the Dark Templar are two halves of the same species and are psychologically regressing to a tribal state; Artanis has his hands full trying to prevent this slide into tribalism. More than once, the name of Raszagal has been invoked to keep the peace.
