Rebellion Missions

The Rebellion Missions were presented as a series of optional missions in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. The Behind the Scenes DVD suggests the missions are canon.

Storyline
The Rebellion Missions consist of Raynor's Raiders attacks against the Terran Dominion.

Although the Raiders had a low amount of funds as well as morale, these factors did not stop Matt Horner from working toward a better future. Horner learned from an informant of a series of salvage jobs the Dominion was undertaking on Tarsonis, transporting supplies with trains with little security. The Raiders depolyed their forces, hoping to make some profit. They were successful, but got more than profit: inside one of the trains held an old Confederate adjutant.

The adjutant could not be decrypted, so the Raiders called upon the services of the mercenary Orlan to decrypt it. A transmission from Horner's "wife" Mira Han alerted the Raiders to the fact that Orlan planned to sell the adjutant to the Terran Dominion, betraying the Raiders. Orlan hired Mira to defend him but had yet to pay her fee of 6000 minerals. Mira offered the same deal to Raynor and "Matthew" to defeat Orlan, but whoever paid first would get her forces' allegiance. The Raiders were forced to salvage for minerals as well as mining for them. Raynor paid up first and the Raiders and mercenaries together defeated Orlan's forces and took back the adjutant.

The adjutant contained very valuable information. The adjutant held proof that Arcturus Mengsk caused the Fall of Tarsonis and abandoned Kerrigan to the zerg. The Raiders decided to broadcast the crimes and learned of a very powerful weapon the Dominion was developing from Valhalla. Tychus Findlay successfully hijacked the Odin, and proceeded to eliminate the Dominion forces so no one could report that the Odin was stolen. The Raiders then prepared to broadcast Mengsk's war crimes.

The assault on the UNN Studios began. Findlay, piloting the Odin, wreaked initial havoc, weakening Dominion security. Not even additional reinforcements sent in by General Warfield could stop the Raiders. Eventually, the crimes were released to the public. This sparked massive uprisings and revolts among the Dominion as the whole Dominion saw their emperor as a terrorist wanting personal power. Even Arcturus Mengsk himself was speechless and could not back up his own claim that he overthrew the Confederacy to protect humanity. Horner was very pleased of these results, believing that the revolution had only just begun.
