Kirkegaard Belt

The Kirkegaard Belt, often referred to as the Kick-Me-Good Belt, is a dense, hard-to-navigate asteroid field.

One of its asteroids housed the secret Space Station Prometheus, a research laboratory. The lab, designed by head Emil Narud and Terran Dominion Heir Apparent Valerian Mengsk, was itself hidden within an asteroid.

In 2504, Valerian Mengsk, Narud, Raynor's Raiders and Sarah Kerrigan arrived there, ostensibly to test the incomplete deinfestation effect a xel'naga device had on Kerrigan. However, it was a trap. Narud intended to turn over Kerrigan to Arcturus Mengsk, who was pursuing them. The Dominion Armada arrived, and rather than slowly navigate to the asteroid, simply destroyed large parts of the belt.
