"Redstone. Heck of a place. I ever mention how much I hate volcanic planets?"

- Commander Jim Raynor(src)

Redstone III is a volcanic planet in the Koprulu sector which has a major geological fracture cataclysm in part of its northern hemisphere.

History[]

AfterLavaEruption

Lava on Redstone

Terran mining guilds vied to secure mining rights prior to the Guild Wars.

The Kel-Morian Combine abandoned the planet in the Second Great War due to the zerg invasion.[1]

With the planet abandoned, Gabriel Tosh established an operation to mine minerals[1] with trace quantities of jorium.[2][3]

The mining area suffered frequent lava surges which flooded the low ground where the minerals were, and was threatened by the zerg. Progress was slow. Tosh rejuvenated the effort by hiring Raynor's Raiders, who finished the job.[1]

Notes[]

  • Redstone was first featured in the Zerg Reveal Trailer.[4]
  • A miniature dancing Diablo is present on one of the lava-flooded islands.
  • The Blizzard custom melee map Burning Tide is set on Redstone III, featuring the lava surges from "The Devil's Playground".
