Spectre Rebellion


 * The name of this article is based on conjecture.

The Spectre Rebellion was a covert battle between Project Shadowblade and the Terran Dominion.

Battle of Altara
Nova Squadron, based out of the Palatine, and Nova Terra, a powerful ghost, were dispatched to Altara in order to rescue Kelerchian. A swarm of zerg reached the distress site first.

Terra convinced Hauler to place her on Altara before the rest of Nova Squadron. He told her she had an hour.

Terra discovered the zerg landing on a strange green rift and collected some of the gas leaking out of it to analyze it. She made it to the now-destroyed refinery. As she continued to scout the zerg, Grizzlies carrying Nova Squadron troops landed early. These troops were led by Lt. Chet Ward, a veteran officer, but with little experience fighting the zerg. He grudgingly followed Terra's advice, but believed the terrans had the advantage of surprise.

Roaches and zerglings emerged from the ground and attacked the marines. Terra instructed Ward to send his men to a high point and create a crossfire on her signal. Terra baited the zerg into the crossfire. Ward was then told to retreat to rocky terrain near the Grizzlies, in the hopes the zerg could not burrow there.

Meanwhile Terra located the November and discovered the injured Kelerchian within. The ship's gun was still working. Unfortunately, her request for medical evacuation was interrupted by mutalisks attacking the marines. Hauler sent heavy reinforcements, but made rescuing the wrangler the top priority.

The marines were cut off from the Grizzlies by banelings and mutalisks. Terra flew the November over to them and used the ship's guns to take out mutalisks. After she got out, a hydralisk ripped her mask off. Terra was now exposed to the strange gas. Terra helped the marines out of their current predicaments, but their retreat was then cut off by hydralisks. Terra used her powers to blow open part of the rift as the marines finally made it to the Grizzlies.

Terra finished off the zerg attack with a massive psi blast.
