Free Haven
From StarCraft Wiki
Free Haven is the only town on the planet of Bhekar Ro, built by the first settlers who came to the planet when they sought for independence and freedom from the Terran Confederacy. Surrounded by a perimeter fence in the shape of an octagon, it was fairly self contained, although there were outlying farms and drainage ditches. It featured an old missile turret in its center, which proved instrumental in its defense when it was attacked by the zerg.
[edit] History
Shortly after colonist Octavia Bren and her brother Lars accidentally activated a recently unearthed xel'naga temple, the zerg Kukulkan Brood descended upon Bhekar Ro. In addition to settling near the temple, the zerg attacked the town. Bren took part in arranging the town's defenses.
The defenders were losing when Alpha Squadron arrived, deploying its ground forces right at the town and saving it and the remaining population from being slaughtered by the zerg though at the end of the battle, it had caused heavy collateral damage as a result though succeeded in driving out the zerg from the town.
The town was used as a base-of-operations by Alpha Squadron and was quickly rebuilt as a massive fortress after it was taken over effectively by General Edmund Duke in order to combat the zerg and protoss forces nearby.
Duke's forces were heavily defeated after much of it was wiped out by protoss and zerg forces in a large battle. Months later, Duke and his remaining troops left via Dominion transport ships.[1]
