- Adjutant 23-46 upon being recovered by Raynor's Raiders(src)
Adjutant 23-46 was a Terran Confederacy adjutant.
History[]
Seeds of Dissent[]
In 2500 during the fall of Tarsonis, the Confederacy intercepted a number of Sons of Korhal transmissions proving Arcturus Mengsk was responsible for unleashing the zerg on Tarsonis, and the rebel leader's lust for power. Adjutant 23-46 was present on planet during the battle and received a record of the intercepted transmissions. However, it was abandoned intact after the battle and its knowledge lost.[note 1][2]
Without concrete proof to the contrary, the Terran Dominion was founded on the myth that hailed Mengsk as a selfless defender of humanity.[3]
The Ongoing Revolution[]
Dominion excavations on Tarsonis recovered Adjutant 23-46 at the outbreak of the Second Great War in 2504. They regarded it as an important find, even though its contents remained encrypted. The Dominion planned to bring it to a central processing station via a guarded train. News of the unusually valuable find reached Captain Matt Horner.[4]

Raynor's Raiders descended to Tarsonis and attacked the trains. The rebels did not know what the object they were looking for was, but eventually stumbled upon Adjutant 23-46.[4] Despite making a successful heist, the Raiders could not extract any information from the adjutant. 23-46 recognized Commander Jim Raynor as an anti-Confederate rebel.[note 2][2]
The adjutant in the Hyperion's laboratory
The Raiders hired mercenary Colonel Orlan, an expert in Confederate code decryption, at Deadman's Port to hack the adjutant. Orlan attempted to betray the Raiders and sell the information to the Dominion; the rebels recovered 23-46 with the help of Mira's Marauders.[5]
The adjutant revealed its cache of intercepted transmissions from the fall of Tarsonis. This gave the Raiders the ammunition to finally fight the Dominion's propaganda machine.[note 3][2]
The next challenge was disseminating the records through the Dominion. The Dominion was planning to unveil a new heavy assault walker, Odin, on Korhal. The Raiders stole the new weapon from its proving grounds on Valhalla.[6]
The theft of Odin remained undetected by the Dominion, and the Raiders used it to infiltrate Korhal. While the Dominion garrison was reeling from Odin's unexpected betrayal, the Raiders broadcast Adjutant 23-46's records throughout Dominion space using Universal News Network broadcast stations.[7] Word of Mengsk's actions spread and caused riots throughout the sector.[8]
