However, the sudden termination of communications was noticed by Doctor [[Ariel Hanson]], the former Agrians' liason with [[Raynor's Raiders]]. She appealed to [[Jim Raynor]] to investigate. The Raiders were contacted by Selendis and a [[Daelaam|protoss force]] when they arrived, who asked for Raynor's assistance in purging all of the colonists.

Haven is a temperate planet in/within range of the Koprulu Sector.[1]

History

At some point, Haven housed an indigenous species, protoss or otherwise. By the early 26th century, traces of their civilization could still be found.[2] Regardless, by this point in time, the planet was known to the terrans of the Koprulu Sector. However, while the Terran Dominion was willing to use the planet as an R&R stop,[3] the planet's proximity to protoss space deterred colonization efforts.[1][4]

Second Great War

This article or section contains information from the optional Colonist Missions in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

During the Second Great War, the terran colony on Agria was evacuated by Raynor's Raiders.[5] The refugees landed on Meinhoff but left after an outbreak of a zerg infestation virus.[6] They resettled on Haven but they soon attracted protoss attention. The protoss detected the zerg virus amongst the settlers, and Executor Selendis led a fleet to purify the new colony. Protoss jamming cut off the colony's communications. At Hanson's request, the Raiders arrived at the planet, leading to a confrontation with the protoss. Selendis maintained that purification was the only solution to the problem, but was willing to let the Raiders handle the situation. Hanson meanwhile maintained that she was close to creating a cure for the virus.[4][1]

Haven SC2 Game2

The protoss and terrans in battle on Haven.

Raynor refused to cooperate with the protoss to kill all the colonists, believing in Hanson's ability to form a cure for the virus. The Raiders destroyed the protoss purifier, a mothership used to destroy an entire colony base in a single blast. Selendis ordered her forces to withdraw, complimenting Raynor on his skill in battle and hoping his faith in the colony was borne out.[1] Hyperion landed to disembark Dr. Hanson.[2] The colonists declared independence from the Terran Dominion[7], and gave the Raiders the colonial flag of the old colony of Agria as a token of appreciation.[8]
