Unique Objectives	The zerg Omegaswarm threatens Deadman's Stand! Defend the city while Mira Han improvises a way to get rid of the infestation.
Lanes	1
Announcer	Mira Han
Realm	Koprulu Sector
Release Date	March 30, 2018

If only we had TIME! With a little breathing room, Mira Han could get the Core up and running and give us enough juice to activate the Psi Disruptor, wiping out the Omegaswarm and saving us all from certain death. That’s where you come in, Heroes… we need you to get out there and buy us time in any way you can. They’re a swarm of angry Zerg, they’re headed right this way, and you’re all we’ve got. Good luck.
