Halcyon
From StarCraft Wiki
Halcyon was a Terran Confederacy world[1] between Antiga Prime and Tarsonis; it has much arable land. It grows grapes and framberries, and is the source of the addictive drug "hab", which was delivered to the crime lord Fagin in Tarsonis City.[2]
Halcyon also housed a rehabilitation center. One of its inmates was Emmett Tygore, a member of the Old Families who allegedly went insane when committing a series of murders. Tygore was never convicted.[2]
[edit] History
Shortly before the Fall of Tarsonis, after the purification of Antiga Prime, the Terran Confederacy announced that it had moved a large number of forces to Halcyon in order to interdict Sons of Korhal, zerg or protoss forces heading to Tarsonis.[2]
Halcyon survived the Great War and was later absorbed into the Terran Dominion.[2]
[edit] Trivia
The planet may be named after the Greek term Halcyon (IPA: /ˈhælsiən/), a term that originates from the Greek myth of Alcyone. It is used most often to mean golden or marked by peace and prosperity.
