Maltair IV was a Fringe World. Possessing at least one moon, its terran population was involved in extracting pockets of vespene gas from the planet's crust.[1]
History[]
Originally a world of the Terran Confederacy,[2] the planet passed into the hands of the Terran Dominion. However, its hazardous operations were disrupted by the zerg[1] in 2500.[3]
Kerrigan oversees the invasion
The planet had very little in the way of defense, possessing only a force of marines to guard Senator Corbin Phash and his son, Colin. When the zerg invasion occurred, much of the population was decimated and the survivors took refuge in a shelter and attempted to escape by a secret passageway but were cut off by the zerg and killed.[1]
Senator Phash and Colin emerged as the only survivors[1] and were rescued soon afterward by the Dominion Marine Corps.[2]
In 2501, Gehenna Station destroyed a Dominion space platform orbiting the world. The Annihilators, a Dominion special forces unit, tasked with hunting a pirate ship in the area, were the first responders. Only a single survivor was found.[4]
