Notes
↑StarCraft II: Heaven's Devils places Raynor's birthday as being prior to July. However, Raynor's dog tags list it as being in August. Under the revised date, it is impossible to pinpoint the exact timing of many events of Heaven's Devils due to the now more vague timeline of events.
↑StarCraft: Issue 6 specifically identifies this event as taking place in 2488. Various pieces of information from StarCraft II: Heaven's Devils places the invasion in November or December 2488. For instance, UNN reporter Max Speer didn't become an embedded reporter until at least November 2488, and he was present as an embedded reporter at the battle. Clair Hobarth gave an interview about the battle in January 2489.
