Antiga Prime

"Our sources tell us that Antiga Prime is ready to begin open revolt against the Confederacy. Unfortunately, the Confederates seem to be aware of this as well."

- Sarah Kerrigan elaborates before the revolution on Antiga Prime

Antiga Prime was an outlying Terran Confederacy colony.

Antiga Prime was formerly a water world, its oceans had dried up by the time it had been discovered. The result was that the bulk of the planet was made up of hard mudflats and low, flat mesas covered with native scrub mixed with seeded purple blossoms. In its watery past, large sea creatures once existed, their remains having become fossilized by the time of colonization. Featuring viticulture and buffalo rearing as part of its economy, the system features a gas giant.

Colonization History
Antiga Prime was notably the first world to openly revolt against the Confederacy since the incineration of Korhal IV. In order to prevent the revolution, elements of Alpha Squadron took control of the militia's Command Center and set up positions across the planet.

The renegade terrorist/freedom-fighter group known as the Sons of Korhal was responsible for instigating the rebellion, and rushed to the aid of the local military forces. They succeeded in assassinating the Confederate officer in charge of the Command Center, and proceeded to lead the Antigans in a successful attack against the Confederates.

Before the Confederates could properly counterattack, General Edmund Duke's battlecruiser, the Norad II, was shot down by the Zerg. Duke was rescued by the Sons of Korhal and their leader, Arcturus Mengsk, on the condition that Alpha Squadron and Duke himself were to switch sides and join the rebels.

Panicked over the defection of their finest Squadron, the Confederacy responded by sending Delta Squadron troops to deal with the insurrection. The Sons of Korhal could not defeat Delta Squadron using conventional techniques (i.e. superior military strength); instead, Mengsk sent Sarah Kerrigan to plant a psi-emitter in the Confederate base. Attracted by its signal, the Zerg overwhelmed the planet and the Confederate forces. Much of the civilian population was evacuated by the Sons of Korhal, after which the Protoss arrived and incinerated the planet.

Antiga Prime is now a lifeless, purified world. There has been no indication that it has been recolonized by any race.

This Antiga Prime site, rich with regenerating resources, became a battleground as Protoss, Terran and Zerg forces alike fought over the resources.
