Bhekar Ro is a Fringe World[1] in the distant reaches of the Koprulu Sector. It orbits a single orange star.[2]
Originally the planet had "greasy gray skies" that frequently gave way to unpredictable violent storms of sonic intensity that occurred year round, the surface scarred by hailstorms and laser lightning. After the activation of an xel'naga temple however, the climate became more serene,[2] white clouds instead of gray ones present throughout its atmosphere.[3]
History
Bhekar Ro was settled around 2460 by colonists hoping it would be a “promised land” out of reach of the Terran Confederacy, seeking to escape from the civil strife of the Confederacy's inner worlds. Five years after settlement contact with the Confederacy was broken off. Survival depended on raising whip barley, triticale wheat and salad moss from poor and rocky soil. The first decades were aided by a corps of scientific personnel. Outbreaks of spore plague eventually forced the abandonment of most scientific endeavors as priority shifted toward survival.[2]
Given the harsh conditions the colonists suffered a high mortality rate with virtually every colonist having lost a friend and/or family member. Colonists were considered adults upon their fifteenth birthday and were often married and had kids before they reached the age of eighteen. Despite the high death rate, colonists rarely let it get to them. Those who did often became careless, which resulted in their own demise.[2]
Battles
In 2500, a xel'naga artifact was uncovered by a storm. The investigation by and absorption of the colonist Lars Bren caused the artifact to emit a strong psychic signal that was detected by the protoss and zerg. Fearful, Mayor Jacob "Nik" Nikolai called from the Confederacy for help but finds the Dominion had replaced it and sent Alpha Squadron to "help". This culminated in the Battle of Bhekar Ro and the release of an energy creature. The birth of the creature inadvertently changed the climate and improved the quality of the soil of the valley near the artifact.[2]
In 2502 a female Dominion ghost perpetrated a massacre of inhabitants.[4]
Native Life
Despite the bleak conditions, Bhekar Ro is not without native life, albeit of a basic kind. Identified lifeforms include the:
In addition, the revealment of the xel'naga temple also revealed a number of small creatures previously unidentified by the colonists. Rodent creatures can also be seen across its plains.[2]
