Backwater Station was a military base located on the world of Mar Sara, situated in the Hinterland south of Mount Jacobs and northeast of the Dust Bowl. Located on a ridge northwest of a small valley, it featured defenses to its south and east. A Confederate command center was located on the adjacent ridge to the east, although whether this can be considered part of the station proper is speculative, given its isolation and that it didn't appear on any maps of the area.[1]
On December 9, 2499, Backwater Station came under attack by the zerg. This led to the Battle of Backwater Station, which saw the base rescued from the zerg by Mar Sara Colonial Militia forces led by Marshal Jim Raynor, only for them to be arrested by Confederate commander Edmund Duke for their efforts.
It is set to appear in StarCraft II. [2]
