Raynor's Raiders / KERRIGAN

Raynor’s Raiders are a terran military formation once led by Commander Jim Raynor. It has a history of cooperation with the protoss thanks in part to Raynor’s personal connections.

The Raiders were formed from Raynor’s Rangers and scattered troops from other factions during the Great War; the Rangers left the Sons of Korhal after Arcturus Mengsk abandoned Sarah Kerrigan to the zerg at the Battle of New Gettysburg. Once the Raiders ceased being Raynor’s Rangers of the Sons of Korhal, the primary color in their paint scheme changed from red to blue.

The Raiders’ flagship and base of operations is the Hyperion, a Behemoth-class battlecruiser. The Sons of Korhal captured it from the Confederacy and used it as their base before the Great War. It was subsequently hijacked by the Raiders following the Fall of Tarsonis.

Upon formation the Raiders operated as an anti-Dominion rebel group. After the Brood War the Raiders were marginalized by Dominion propaganda, and enjoyed little success. They were revitalized by the Second Great War and aided the Zerg Swarm to depose Emperor Mengsk. They have since directed their efforts to reconstruction.
