![]() Hundreds of thousands of protoss died during the evacuation. ![]() Fenix and Raynor held back and protected their flank while the Khalai survivors escaped to Shakuras. The Brood War Īt Zeratul's suggestion, the Khalai survivors retreated to their last functional warp gate, fighting through a sizable zerg force to get there. Aldaris, Fenix, Zeratul and Commander Jim Raynor banded together in order to unite and lead the scattered survivors, but the zerg continued to slaughter every protoss they encountered. The Conclave and nearly seventy percent of the population was killed. However, the zerg invasion left much of Aiur in ruins. Tassadar channeled Dark Templar energies through the hull of the Gantrithor and steered it on a collision course with the Overmind, destroying it. With the help of the renegade terrans of Raynor's Raiders, Tassadar and his followers weakened the Overmind, sustaining heavy losses in the process. Tassadar's followers destroyed Kor-shakal. When former Executor Tassadar, a veteran of previous battles of the zerg who had turned rebel, returned to Aiur with Dark Prelate Zeratul, Judicator Aldaris attempted to arrest them. ![]() He was also held back by the incompetent leadership of the Conclave. Praetor Fenix fought against the zerg but was hampered by the ability of their cerebrates to reincarnate. ![]() They seized the khaydarin crystals and destroyed the xel'naga temple before setting the khaydarin crystal in its place, allowing the Overmind to embed itself in Aiur's surface.

Khas revitalized protoss society through the Khala, which called upon the them to forgo their old feuds and reunite. He channeled their primal energies through himself and rediscovered the communal psionic bond of the protoss. Įventually, Khas unearthed khaydarin crystals left behind by the xel'naga. This led to the Aeon of Strife, during which Aiur's greater landmasses were devastated and many of its lesser life-forms were pushed to the brink of extinction. The xel'naga eventually left Aiur due to growing antagonism among the protoss that led them to forget how to attune themselves to their primal psychic link. In addition to digging vast subterranean caverns, the xel'naga constructed a temple to mark the site where they first set foot upon Aiur. Over the eons, its humid rainforests teemed with a variety of species, the most advanced of which were the Protoss, whose evolution was accelerated by Amon and his followers. Aiur's moderate greenhouse-gas levels and low orbital eccentricity allowed it to develop a climate conducive to life. ![]()
