HistoryEdit

AntiquityEdit

	The following article or section contains lore from the StarCraft RPG

In antiquity Dylar IV hosted a protoss mining colony. However, the settlement was later abandoned, becoming a set of ruins.^[1]

Terran WorldEdit

Thousands of years later, Dylar IV became a Core World of the Terran Confederacy, serving as the home base of Omega Squadron^[2] and the Dylarian Shipyards.^[3]

During the Guild Wars, Kel-Morian forces launched ambushes on Confederate forces located there.^[4]

The world was infested by the zerg early in the Great War.^[2]

The planet was inherited by the Terran Dominion.^[3] The Dylarian Shipyards were attacked by the United Earth Directorate Expeditionary Fleet^[3] and the world's defense forces were impressed into the fleet.^[5]

AbandonmentEdit

	The following article or section contains lore from the StarCraft RPG

The world was later abandoned. Eventually, following the Brood War, Dylar IV would be investigated by the Alliance and the ruins handed over to the protoss.^[1]

Dominion World AgainEdit

By the Second Great War, Dominion fleet recruits were summoned to the shipyards again.^[6]

Known LocationsEdit

• Dylar Ruins
• Dylarian Shipyards
• Dylar Station

TriviaEdit

According to StarCraft: I, Mengsk, Dylar IV is a gas giant.^[7] However, this is in contrast to its appearance in Alternity: StarCraft Edition, which portrays it as a desert world.^[1] However, that the zerg were able to infest Dylar IV (as stated in the manual of StarCraft) infers that the planet is at least terrestrial.^[2] StarCraft II: Heaven's Devils mentions a Kel-Morian attack on Confederate troops on Dylar IV (distinct from an attack at the Dylarian Shipyards), suggesting Dylar IV is terrestrial.^[4]
