Shakuras
'''Shakuras''' is the [[homeworld]] of the [[Dark Templar]] 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.

(contracted; show full)Protoss]] of [[Aiur]] for generations. According to these prophecies "A dark land of ancient plateaus and oceans of night... Night becomes day, and our ancient fathers aid us... We erase that which blights our face, but not that which lies within... The land that rests in twilight will be the place of our greatest triumph and also our greatest shame."

The ancient fathers are quite possibly a reference to the [[Xel'Naga]], and the aid would be the activation of the [[Xel'Naga Temple]].
