Backstory - "The Lost Units of Koprulu"
"Following the destruction in the Koprulu Sector, many of the Terran fringe
colonies were forgotten about or lost in the fiery destruction of the Zerg
and Protoss. Entire squads of military units were often cut off from the
rest of the force in confusion, some being killed by the enemy and others
picked up by fleeing refugees from ravaged colonies. Many of these units
ended up traveling with colonists and protecting them as they searched for a
place to rebuild their homes. In time, as colonists began to rebuild around
the war torn lands, such highly trained units became unnecessary and feared
because of their power and aggressive behavior.
These units existence was dependant on being cared for in trade for their
protection. Once the colonists began to reject them and refuse their
services they were forced to work for the highest bidder to survive,
becoming mercenaries. In most cases, there were never enough soldiers to
pose a threat to the colonists, causing most to work as bodyguards or
security at various facilities. Once interplanetary travel was relatively
safe again, trade between planets began once more and some mercenaries
resorted to raiding space transports and freighters.
Since the recapturing of Korhal, Mengsk sent out dozens of reconnaissance
squads to try and reconnect the capital with the remnants of the outlying
colonies. Successful missions were far and few between. Instead of finding
refuges and prospering colonies, they usually ran into skirmishes with
mercenaries. Now that the Zerg had been pushed back to Char and were
contained for the time being, engineering and medical squads were in
constant transit between the different colonies, trying to repair and
regroup what was left of the Terran existence in the Koprulu Sector."
