The Battle of Bhekar Ro took place on Bhekar Ro after the fall of Aiur and before the Brood War. The zerg Kulkulkan Brood and a protoss expeditionary force led by Executor Koronis converged on the world shortly after the discovery of a xel'naga artifact by the local terran colony of Free Haven. The colonists summoned aid from the Terran Dominion in the form of Alpha Squadron. The battle gave birth to an energy creature within the temple which subsequently absorbed the zerg and protoss while crippling Alpha Squadron before leaving the planet.
