Xiang

Private Xiang was a Terran Marine Private in the Confederate Marine Corps, namely the 417th Confederate Marine Platoon. He saw action in Mar Sara at its dying days.

Private Xiang was deployed to Mar Sara circa 2499 at around the time the planet would soon be destroyed. He was not seen in the time Melnikov first arrived though does appear at the time the platoon arrives at Bunker Complex 3847. En route the mission to Oasis to retrieve a piece of COnfederate equipment, Xiang was assigned to Second Squad, encompassing fellow marines Alley, Bernelli, PFC Melnikov, squad leader Sergeant Littlefield and two Firebats, Private Ekart and PFC Cutter. Little is known about Xiang as he never talks though the mission turns into a bloody firefight with the Zerg swarm settled in the town. He was ordered along with Ekart to frag the hole Melnikov fell into while Bernelli set a charge.

Xiang later on helps Littlefield carry the box holding the Psi-emitter though later on joins in the fight against the Zerg. He survived the initial battle and the long retreat though 2 other members of his squad, Ekart and Alley weren't as lucky. After seeing that their base has been completely abandoned, Xiang is ordered on watch alongside Cutter and Mellish to see if any Zerg would arrive or not. He however, misses the action which cost the platoon their only escape from the planet and the death of Sergeant Littlefield.

With the Confederates having now completely withdrawn from Mar Sara, there is little to do to escape the system. The platoon decides to make a final stand against the Zerg moving in to Mar Sara City by luring them in with the psi-emitter they have so the colonists can escape by via Sons of Korhal dropships. Xiang took part in the initial battle though did not make it to the final stand, having been killed when his bunker burst into flames.
