Last and final mission of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty.

The combined Raynor's Raiders and Terran Dominion battle group sustained heavy casualties gaining a foothold on Char. It was urgent to push on the main hive before the invaders were overwhelmed. Jim Raynor led a secondary attack to weaken the defenses and clear the way for the main assault.

Upon Raynor's return, Dominion General Horace Warfield delivered the completed xel'naga device. Fighting together on Char allowed the two to strike a comradely rapport, despite being from opposing factions. Even at this late date it was uncertain whether the device would work as planned. Many soldiers were also tired and worn out from holding the line. However, Raynor, picking up the dog tag of a deceased soldier declared that it would be the bravery and common cause of terran soldiers who would be the true source of victory, which rallied up their spirits and prepared them for battle.

Engineers moved the device to the base of the primary hive and the terrans rallied their remaining troops around it. With their backs to the lava, the terrans had to hold until the device was fully charged. The task was assisted by the device's tactical applications; a less powerful version of the fully charged effect, an energy nova, could be released intermittently to destroy all zerg in close proximity to the device. This energy nova was used to repel the initial zerg attack before the defenses were prepared.

The Queen of Blades was impressed by the energy nova, but refused to be deterred from sallying forth personally to destroy the dwindling invaders. She had launched the Second Great War to secure the device and now the terrans had delivered it to her.

However, even with Kerrigan's personal participation the zerg were unable to break through the terrans. When the device reached its full charge it unleashed a massive energy shockwave that scoured the zerg from the immediate area and deinfested Kerrigan.

With zerg resistance broken, Jim Raynor and Tychus Findlay led a squad into the hive. They found a helpless Kerrigan inside. As Raynor moved to secure Kerrigan, Findlay was forced to reveal his deal with Dominion Emperor Arcturus Mengsk. To fully regain his freedom, Findlay had to kill Kerrigan.

Raynor could not allow this. He interposed his armor between Kerrigan and the executioner's bullet, before shooting and killing Findlay with his sidearm. The rebel bore Kerrigan outside where the aerial battle continued to rage.
