How does a scion of one of the Old Families ends up here pushing miners around as a captain? With your family's influence, and the amount of combat it looks like you've seen, I'd have thought they'd have made you a general by now."<br>"Yeah, I '''do''' mind you calling me Edmund. And why I'm here is none of your goddamn business. We got our orders, and I'm a man who obeys orders, so why don't you shut the hell up and follow yours.|Mengsk and Duke verbally spar|StarCraft: I, Mengsk}} {{Main|Battle of Noranda Glacier}} In [[2485]] Duke, a captain within [[Alpha Squadron]], met with [[Brantigan Fole]], commander of the Confederate [[33rd Ground Assault Division]], on [[Onuru Sigma]]. Fole wanted Duke to attack the [[Noranda Glacier]] [[vespene]] mining complex, operated by the [[Kel-Morian Combine]]. He would work alongside another captain, [[Arcturus Mengsk]], head of the 33rd's [[Dominion section]]. Duke would hold command authority and would even evaluate Mengsk's unit. The two captains did not get along. Duke was a very aggressive attacker and ignored Mengsk's caution, accusing him of cowardice. He was particularly upset that he couldn't use a [[siege tank]] in the hazardous conditions. Taking the majority of the forces with him, they moved into the complex, only to discover it was an ambush. He fought into a strongpoint and called Mengsk to rescue him. Mengsk's forces moved in more cautiously, fighting their own battle until they could create a corridor to escort Duke out. During the fighting, Confederate [[Wraith]] strafing set the entire complex ablaze. Massive numbers of Kel-Morian Combine troops and [[battlecruiser]]s then approached the scene – the [[Guild Wars]] were officially declared. During the Confederate retreat a transport was destroyed; Mengsk was disappointed that Duke survived the rescue.<ref name="SC:IMengsk"/> Loading editor Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
