Cutthroat

Cutthroat is a StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty mission. Raynor's Raiders competed for a mercenary contract with Orlan to hire Mira Han's mercenaries. Afterwards, the Raiders attacked Orlan's base.

Background
Raynor's Raiders were able to take an Confederate adjutant, but it would not give them any useful information. Matt Horner suggested that Colonel Orlan at Deadman's Port could help at decrypting it. The mercenary was able to do so, but finding that it contained Arcturus Mengsk's war crimes, he planned to sell it to the Terran Dominion. Orlan also hired Mira Han to stop the Raiders from interfering into his plans.

Han warned the raiders of his betrayal and offered her services to Jim Raynor, if he could achieve the quota of 6000 minerals before Orlan did.

Gameplay
Raynor's Raiders have to reach the quota of 6000 minerals before Orlan does. The number of minerals which Orlan and the Raiders have is shown into a small menu. The Raiders must collect scrap left along the planet in order to increase the number of minerals they have. Due to their speed, vultures are useful for this mission. Their superior attack makes them preferable over Hellions. There are several scrap processors around the map; checking on them periodically yields more minerals.

After the mercenary contract is bought, Han's base and its units become controllable. The Raiders have to attack Orlan's base. At one point after the Raiders get to the entrance of his base, Orlan will launch a nuke, forcing the Raiders to withdraw from the radius of the explosion. Orlan's Planetary fortress may cause problems; use concentrated firepower to bring it down quickly.

Trivia
There is a Battlestar Galactica starship wreckage at the southmost enemy base.
