''[[StarCraft: Brood War]]''. Vivendi Games. Mission: [[First Strike (Episode V)|First Strike]] (in English). 1998.</ref> Using codes extracted from there, the Confederates were able to determine Mengsk's schedule; he was visiting Umoja at the time, his first visit to Umoja as emperor of the Dominion, six months after his empire's formation. Mengsk and Dominion general [[Edmund Duke]] diplomatically fenced with Umojan politician [[Ailin Pasteur]] over how close Dominion vessels could approach Umoja. Mengsk eventually approached Umoja, with only a few soldiers, son [[Valerian Mengsk|Valerian]] and teacher Master [[Miyamoto]] in an obsolete [[gun cruiser]]. Shortly after landing, the Confederates used various jamming techniques to cut off Mengsk from aid and landed approximately 30 soldiers, led by Mengsk's former commanding officer, [[marine]] [[Angelina Emillian]]. They tried to kill Mengsk. Despite being outnumbered, the Dominion and Umojan forces held off the Confederates (suffering heavy losses). During the battle, Duke's forces took advantage of the jamming and confusion to approach Umoja and destroy the remaining Confederates. Afterward, the Umojans and Dominion officials had to renegotiate Dominion ship movements near Umoja. Mengsk was left with the belief that Umoja was complicit in the attack.<ref name = "SC:IMengsk">McNeill, Graham (December 30, 2008). ''[[StarCraft: I, Mengsk]]''. Simon & Schuster (Pocket Star).

''[[StarCraft Field Manual]]'' (hardcover). [[Insight Editions]], November 17, 2015.</ref> However, under the surface the cold war that had torn a rift between the two nations continued to boil. The Umojans captured documents connecting Emperor Valerian Mengsk to the [[Moebius Foundation]], who bred the [[hybrid]]. Valerian suspected they wished to use these to destroy the trust between Valerian and his people. The Umojans kept these documents aboard an impenetrable space fortress named [[the Keep]]. However, the Keep was infiltrated by Agent [[Nova Terra]], who set a [[Korhalian light freighter|freighter]] on a course for the base disguised as a derelict, with her faking her death inside using a special toxin. Nova was brought inside, and brought in for autopsy when she woke up and began her operation. Nova forced the security of the station to evacuate, planting bombs on the evacuation ships to destroy the [[sentinel watchtower]]s surrounding the station. She then broke into the station's vault, retrieved the disks, and escaped before reinforcements arrived. Later, in an effort of goodwill and to ensure that such secrets never damage the trust he had with his people, Valerian Mengsk made the documents public to the Terran Dominion.<ref name = "SC:TheKeep">Neilson, Micky (w), Edouard Guiton (i) and Sandra Molina (c).

The [[Dominion]] is a definite threat. Perhaps not as great as when [[Arcturus Mengsk]] was emperor, but whether or not [[Valerian Mengsk|you]] have territorial ambitions, the fact remains that many in your government still want to see the Umojan Protectorate as part of the Dominion.|Envoy [[Louise DuPre]]|StarCraft: Evolution}} By [[2511]], the Umojan Protectorate had some of the most advanced biotechnology in the sector, and made efforts to secure its borders against any future zerg or Dominion attack. In the case of an outbreak of infestation on their southern border, the Umojans were counting on aid from the [[Daelaam]] for its defense. Envoy [[Louise DuPre]] was sent to the Dominion to continue peace talks with Emperor Valerian Mengsk, but was skeptical of the Dominion as a continuing and real threat given all the Protectorate suffered from Arcturus's ambitions. The Dominion meanwhile was undergoing a series of droughts and famines, and requested Umojan biotechnology to aid them in return for stationing forces on their southern border to defend against a resurgent zerg swarm, but this request was denied as the Umojans remained convinced there were still many within the Dominion government who wanted to see the Protectorate as part of the Dominion.<ref name ="SC:Evolution">Zahn, Timothy (November 8, 2016).
