Antiga Prime is a planet in the Antiga System.

HistoryEdit

In its past, Antiga Prime had oceans that were home to large aquatic creatures. By the time it was colonized by terrans, the oceans had disappeared, leaving hard mudflats and low mesas covered by native scrub mixed with seeded purple blossoms. The sea creatures remained only as fossils.^[2]

The colony's economy included viticulture and buffalo rearing,^[3] as well as resource-rich locations such as the Stickler Woods, where resources slowly regenerated over time.^[4]

RebellionEdit

The residents of Andasar City rebelled against the Confederacy, kicking out their militia and taking the local magistrate hostage. They demanded an end to Confederate corruption. The entire city of thousands of people were killed by a Confederate troop led by Lieutenant Nadaner.^[5]

Another RebellionEdit

Antiga Prime openly revolted against the Terran Confederacy with the aid of the Sons of Korhal early in the Great War. Alpha Squadron deployed to the planet and occupied the local militia's command center to suppress the revolt. The Sons of Korhal and local forces proceeded to retake the command center by assassinating the Confederate officer in charge and successfully drove off nearby Confederate forces.^[6]

Any Confederate counterattack was disrupted when Alpha Squadron's command ship, the battlecruiser Norad II, was shot down by the zerg with General Edmund Duke aboard. Duke and Alpha Squadron were rescued by the Sons of Korhal after agreeing to defect to the rebels.^[7] In response, the Confederacy dispatched the Colonial Fleet and Confederate Army to deal with the rebellion. Three-way fighting ensued for months between the rebels, the Confederates,^[3] and the zerg.^[2]

Despite the setback, the Confederacy discovered the Sons of Korhal base on Antiga Prime and deployed Delta Squadron to deal with it. The rebels realized that they could not defeat Delta Squadron through force of arms; instead the rebels dispatched Sarah Kerrigan to plant a psi-emitter in the Confederate base. The zerg were drawn to the emitter and overwhelmed the Confederates, allowing the rebels to escape the planet with much of the civilian population. Finally, the protoss fleet under Executor Tassadar arrived and incinerated the planet.^[1] Confederate forces were forced to retreat, withdrawing to Halcyon.^[3]
