Shakuras
'''Shakuras''' is the [[homeworld]] [[planet]] of the [[Protoss]]of the [[Dark Templar]]s in the [[StarCraft Universe]], a fictional universe in which a series of computer games and books are set. In contrast with [[Aiur]] (homeworld of the [[Protoss]]), Shakuras is a planet devoid of [[vegetation]]. It is also the homeworld of the [[Kakaru]], a flying reptilian creature similar to the [[pterosaur]]s. The planet was dark due to the curious "darkening" of the sun, probably due to engineering by the [[Xel'Naga]]. (There are several hypotheses concerning the strange darkness of Shakuras. One involves the "filtering" of sunlight due to a nexus of powerful psionic energies; another, more realistic theory, is that the world follows a slow rotation, keeping one half of the world darkened for very long periods of time.)It is home to a [[Warp Gate]] and a [[Xel'Naga Temple]].

==History==
{{spoiler}}
When [[Khas]] created the [[Khala]] and enlightened the Protoss tribes, he united all but a few dissented Protoss tribes who refused to submit to the Khala.  [[Adun]], a young warrior, was sent to destroy them, but instead he tried to teach them psionics instead until they couldn't help but reveal themselves.  Because of this, these "Dark" Protoss were exhiled from Auir and sent to space in an abandoned but functional [[Xel'Naga]] freighter.
