Admiral Urun survived the events of the [[End War]], and later went on to command the [[carrier]] ''[[Saalok's Eye]]''. Sometime after the [[Defenders of Man Insurgency]], Urun spotted a group of terrans near the planet [[Adena]], and stopped them. Their leader, Captain [[Hogarth]], claimed to have orders to survey all abandoned outposts in the region, but Urun's subordinate noted they did not send any transmissions. Urun knew they were trying to deceive him, but allowed the terrans to land anyway.<ref name="SC:ShadowWars_1">Watrous, Valerie (w), Manual, Garcia (i) and Sandra Molina (c). (July 19th, 2017).

[https://comic.starcraft2.com/en-us/shadow-wars-part-1 StarCraft II: Shadow Wars: Part 1] Accessed 2017-07-19.</ref> The terrans were ambushed by the [[Niadra Brood]], and when a [[dropship]] attempted to escape the planet with a marine infested with a [[larva]] inside, Urun shot it down. This inflamed tensions between Urun and Hogarth,<ref name="SC:ShadowWars_2">Watrous, Valerie (w), Manual, Garcia (i) and Sandra Molina (c). (July 19th, 2017).

Urun then deployed his ship's fighters to engage the terrans, then prepared to move down to the surface. His subordinate pointed out he was violating the treaty [[Artanis]] had made with the [[Terran Dominion]], but Urun pointed out they fired first. Urun assembled a contingent of [[zealot]]s and [[stalkers]], stating that while he didn't care what happened to the terrans, he took responsibility for not detecting the zerg on the planet's surface. The [[broodmother]] that led them was therefore a threat, one he intended to remove. He asked only for volunteers, but none of his warriors refused his request. He and his forces deployed to the surface via the carrier's [[teleportation platform]].<ref name="SC:ShadowWars_3"/>

====The Admiral and the Broodmother====
{{Quote|Hear me, my warriors! You have followed me into certain death...to remedy a mistake that should never have been. Terrans may be deeply flawed; you may think them undeserving. But our fates are bound to the soldiers we fight with. You ask why we should sacrifice ourselves for their benefit. Remember the Templar's [[Dae'Uhl|sacred duty]]&mdash;to protect other sentient life! Today, we do that by killing every last zerg on Adena. We few&mdash;we fortunate few&mdash;will know the glory of rightous battle! We will end the threat of this brood, and our people will learn of our valor! Our deeds will not be forgotten!|Urun rallies the Templar|StarCraft II: Shadow Wars: Part 5}}

Urun and his forces arrived on the planet's surface, and supported by fighters, drove the zerg back from the terrans they were attacking. Initially hostile, he was surprised to find the marine [[Elms]] was psionic, and speculated that [[Niadra]] wanted her as a prize. Elms offered an alliance between the two in order to fend off the zerg. Urun scathingly agreed to hear the [[marine]]'s strategy. Elms suggested that they take out Niadra while they still could.<ref name="SC:ShadowWars_3">Watrous, Valerie (w), Manual, Garcia (i) and Sandra Molina (c). (September 13th, 2017).

Elms sensed zerg in the caves behind them and moved to investigate, and Urun moved his forces in to cover them. Though his warriors protested, Urun insisted that they would honor their alliance with the terrans, even as their air support was slowly being taken out. Soon Urun came face to face with Niadra herself.<ref name="SC:ShadowWars_3">Watrous, Valerie (w), Manual, Garcia (i) and Sandra Molina (c). (September 13th, 2017).

[[File:UrunNiadraDarkTemplar ShadowWars Comic1.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Urun rallies his forces]]
Urun urged his warriors to hold their position. Niadra contacted him telepathically, and despite Urun's initial accusations, stated that she did not serve [[Overqueen]] [[Zagara]]. Urun realized that her [[Niadra Brood|brood]] was rogue, and that the conflict on Adena could grow to engluf the entire [[Koprulu sector]]. As the battle continued to be waged, the [[zealot]] [[Leredar]] continued to question Urun's alliance with the terrans. Urun told him to focus on the battle, but reflected that he hoped the mission Elms had gone on was worth it. The zerg continued to attack, whittling down the Templar through attrition. Urun urged his warriors to fight on, to trust that the terrans would come through. That they would end this brood here and now. A number of his warriors merged into [[archon]]s, and unleashed their [[psionic]] might upon the zerg. With the archons cutting through the brood, Urun and his remaining warriors charged to engage Niadra directly.

As he charged, Elms contacted Urun telepathically. He told her that ''Saalok's Eye'' had left the star system, and that Niadra intended to bring war to both their races. He ordered Elms to warn both their peoples of the looming danger. Elms relented, and Urun continued his attack. However, an [[ultralisk]] brought down its kaiser blade, causing him to fall, and Niadra finished the job, impaling him with her talons, killing the admiral.<ref name="SC:ShadowWars_5">Watrous, Valerie (w), Sepulveda, Miguel (i) and Javir Mena (c).

Due to Urun's sacrifice and the sacrifice of his warriors, Elms and her marines were able to escape Adena. However, the warriors that survived spoke only of conflict sparked by the terrans, causing the [[Auriga Tribe]] to call for action against the Terran Dominion. In the aftermath, Artanis withdrew his peace talks with the Dominion.<ref name="SC:ShadowWars_6">Watrous, Valerie (w), Sepulveda, Miguel (i) and Javir Mena (c). (February 3rd, 2018).
