"With rumors spreading of a secret alliance between Mengsk's group and the
Umojan Protectorate, the Confederate government quickly decided on a final
solution to their problem. A salvo of one thousand Apocalypse-class nuclear
missiles was fired at the planet of Korhal from the distant Confederate
capital of Tarsonis. Over 4,000,000 people were annihilated during the
savage attack. In a single instant, the prosperous colony of Korhal was
reduced to nothing more than a super-heated sphere of blackened glass and
stirring phantoms."
