The '''Umojan Protectorate''' is the nationalized militia and united interstellar political entity of [[Umoja]] and other nearby independent colonies.

==History==
===The Confederacy===
The Umojan Protectorate was formed in an emergency sitting of the [[Umojan Ruling Council]] after it had seen what blatant abuse the [[Terran Confederacy]] was capable of when it appropriated nearly all of the mining guilds affiliated with the [[Kel-Morian Combine]] at the end of the [[Guild Wars]] in [[2489]].<ref name="SC1Man">Underwood, Peter, [[Bill Roper]], [[Chris Metzen]] and Jeffrey Vaughn.

[http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/game/planet/umoja Koprulu Sector Systems: Umoja]. ''Blizzard Entertainment.'' Accessed 2010-07-24.</ref>

The Protectorate openly opposed a number of Confederate encroachments on its territories, but war was never declared due in part to other threats facing the Confederacy, most notably a crippling guerrilla war led by [[Arcturus Mengsk]],<ref name = "KSSUmoja"/> whom the Protectorate had a secret alliance with.<ref name="SC1Man" />

In [[2491]] the Confederacy decimated [[Korhal]] and its population with a massive nuclear barrage. The Umojans continued to support the remnants of the movement, the [[Sons of Korhal]], allowing citizens to sign up as soldiers.<ref name = "SC:Upr">Neilson, Micky (December 18, 2000). ''[[StarCraft: Uprising]]''. [[Simon & Schuster]] (Pocket Star). ISBN 978-0743-41898-0 (eBook).</ref>

===The Dominion===
When the [[Terran Dominion]] was formed, the Protectorate rallied to its side. However, the Protectorate distanced itself from the Dominion when its heavy-handed tactics began to resemble those of the Confederacy.<ref name = "KSSUmoja"/>

===The Brood War===
As the [[Brood War (conflict)|Brood War]] began, the [[Terran Dominion]] was unaware of the [[United Earth Directorate]] invasion. An alliance between the [[Confederate Resistance Forces]] and the UED was formed on the Dominion world of [[Braxis]], capturing its capital, [[Boralis]].<ref>Blizzard Entertainment. ''[[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).

===Conflict with the Dominion===
{{Main|Umojan-Dominion Cold War}}
The Protectorate remained ideologically opposed to the Dominion and was widely considered a safe haven for individuals seeking refuge from persecution by the Dominion. The Protectorate funneled resources into advanced technological research, established a far-reaching network of anti-Dominion separatists, and stationed elite espionage agents throughout the [[Koprulu sector]] to keep tabs on the Dominion.<ref name = "KSSUmoja"/>

Mengsk's ambitions included bringing both Umoja and Moria back into the Dominion fold.<ref name="SC2:CinematicStarCraft">Brooks, Robert. ''[[The Cinematic Art of StarCraft]]'' (hardcover). Blizzard Entertainment, October 18, 2018.</ref> The Dominion imposed an economic blockade on the Protectorate, forcing the Protectorate to smuggle food to their own people. As the Protectorate negotiated the tariffs with the Dominion, it also broadcast holos to the Dominion, and planned on using the infamous [[Michael Liberty]] to do the reporting for them.<ref name = "SC:FrntLn_V4_Orientation">Benjamin, Paul and Dave Shramek (w), Mel joy San Juan (p), Noel Rodriguez ''et al'' (i).

When the Dominion revealed that one of its senators, [[Corbin Phash]], had hidden the psychic talents of his son [[Colin Phash|Colin]], the family separated and hid from the Dominion. Corbin traveled to the Protectorate and struck an alliance with Minister [[Jorgensen]] while Colin took shelter on a refugee world. However, Colin was captured and taken to the {{link|Ghost Academy|installation}}, prompting Corbin to vow to expose the truth behind the Academy. Jorgensen promised to help, suggesting he knew Dominion media figures such as [[Kate Lockwell]].<ref>Benjamin, Paul and Dave Shramek (w), Sevilla, Hector (p, i).

By that year, the Protectorate hatched a plot with [[Project Shadowblade]], led by General [[Cole Bennett]] and [[Gabriel Tosh]], which would use [[Lio Travski|a unique AI]] and [[spectre]]s to capture Mengsk, and force him to confess to his crimes in front of renegade reporter [[Michael Liberty]]. However, the plot was foiled, and the spectre's base of [[Gehenna Station]] was destroyed by Agent [[Nova Terra]] and the [[:en:Annihilators|Annihilators]], ending their rebellion.<ref name="SC:G:Spectres" />

===The Second Great War===
With the zerg invasion of [[terran]] space in [[2504]], the Protectorate mobilized<ref>Blizzard Entertainment. ''[[StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty]].'' (Activision Blizzard). PC.

===The New Dominion===
After his ascension to the throne Emperor Valerian began making good-faith overtures to the Umojan Ruling Council in the hopes of negotiating a mutual security pact that also included a technology partnership between the Protectorate and the Dominion.<ref name = "SC:FManual">Barba, Rick. ''[[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).

===Jarban Minor===
[[File:NightTerrors SC2Game.jpg|thumb|225x225px|Umojan terrazine mining operations on Jarban Minor]]
The Umojan Protectorate sent an expedition to the planet of [[Jarban Minor]], and began setting up [[extraction device]]s to harvest the [[terrazine]] from the native [[Jarban glider]]s. They also began mining the local crystal formations, and set up a [[Jarban Minor science facility|science facility]] to research the planet. However, the Umojans came under attack by the [[zerg]], and most of their research team became [[infested]].

During the [[Defenders of Man Insurgency]], Terran Dominion Agent [[Nova Terra]] and her [[Covert Ops Crew]] to the planet under the guidance of [[Tal'darim]] [[Highlord]] [[Alarak]] in order to obtain terrazine. They rescued the surviving Umojans, fought through the infested and Tal'darim under [[Ascendant|First Ascendant]] [[Ji'nara]], harvested the terrazine, and escaped the planet.<ref name = "NCO NightTerrors">Blizzard Entertainment.

===Securing the Borders===
{{Quote|The [[zerg]] are a potential threat. The [[Dominion]] is a definite threat.

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).
