Supernova: Jim Raynor Meets Valerian Mengsk (Starcraft 2 | 4th Xel'Naga Artifact Part)

At the beginning of the Second Great War, Raynor's Raiders was hired by the Moebius Foundation to retrieve the components to a xel'naga device (secretly for Crown Prince Valerian Mengsk). The Foundation directed the Raiders to Typhon XI and the fourth component. The Tal'darim anticipated the move from previous encounters and were already dug in around the component when the terrans arrived. The operation assumed even greater urgency when the output of the local star jumped five hundred percent as a prelude for going nova. The planet surface was already being affected by massive firestorms. The Raiders had mere hours before the stellar event.

The Raiders cleared an initial base location with newly acquired Banshees. The terrans realized they could use their mobile structures to keep ahead of the firestorm. A large supply cache was established planet side precluding the need for supply depots. Once again the Tal'darim failed to stop the terran intruders. Raynor's Raiders kept a scheduled rendezvous with Moebius Foundation after Typhon XI. They were surprised to be met by Dominion battlecruisers, led by the imperial flagship Bucephalus. The Dominion ships took no hostile action, but Commander Jim Raynor ordered the Hyperion to latch onto the enemy flagship for a boarding action. Raynor expected Emperor Arcturus Mengsk to be aboard. However, having fought through the defenders, Raynor was surprised to confront the Emperor's son, Valerian, instead. The prince revealed his ownership of the Foundation and offered an opportunity to save Sarah Kerrigan.

Valerian explained the components formed a xel'naga device capable of making Kerrigan human again. Raynor accepted Mengsk's offer for an alliance. Captain Matt Horner and Tychus Findlay feared Raynor's personal feelings were leading them into a Dominion trap. These concerns were shared by other Raiders and doubts on Raynor's leadership began spreading...
