Mar Sara is the latest lore addition to Starcraft2.com! The page features two new pieces of artwork and six screenshots! "The Sara system was initially catalogued by freelance prospectors and colonized by an expedition from Tarsonis several years later. Mar Sara formed the eighth of the thirteen core colonies of the Terran Confederacy. The Sara system was unusual for having two habitable planets, but Mar Sara was always a backwater colony compared to the more prosperous Chau Sara. Mar Sara was one of the first planets to be infested by the zerg when they appeared in terran space. It was also the first planet on which the Confederates fought the advancing Swarm to any significant extent, although most of the actual fighting was done by local militia forces..."

I saw it and i was so very exictied because they really have shown me that this game is actually being worked on hard the pictures were cool unlike in the first one were Mar looked very wierd it looks like they have made a big step and hopefully a release date
Wow, an actual content update on the Starcraft2 site. Incredible. Its seriously been ages since the last update. OMG . . . Do I see civilian vehicles in those new screenshots!!!???. My dream has come true! On-map neutral vehicles just like in CnC. Hopefully you can commandeer them. And if not, I'll be adding them to my fourth custom race in the New mod editor. I already have an idea for that Yellow Miner truck. This reminds me of that "Hoverworld" dealership doodad from SCI. Pretty sweet.
@LanceLeader. Those vehicles are not 100% unique exactly. The Blue one is a Jackal without the flamethrower and those orange ones are most likely different designs for the Jackal that they tried out. But anyways, they look really cool.
The screenshots look nice but the little information about the exports could be more interesting: "Exports: Refined minerals, unrefined ore, vespene gas, terrazine gas, scrap salvage" Since the events of SC2 are set around the same time as the events of SC: Ghost, the text tells us about the renewed interest of the Dominion in the planet and the terrazine refinery in SC: Ghost was also placed on Mar Sara there could be the possibility that we could see spectres and some other SC: Ghost stuff in SC2. =)
