Military Research has always enjoyed a large budget. The government of the Terran Confederacy was not an organisation that bucked this trend.

One significant focus of research for the Confederates was studies of the Zerg race. These studies were made in secret on the Fringe Worlds at facilities such as Jacobs Installation on Mar Sara and Flannum Installation on Chau Sara. However, they were primarily built for scientific laboratory tests. The military division of the Confederacy was keen to conduct its own experiments on the Zerg, and the Flannum Installation was chosen as the site to be extended for this purpose. An outdoor area was constructed initially for live fire exercises, and to improve bunker designs for use against the alien race.

General Edmund Duke while visiting the facility was impressed by the progress he witnessed and secured funding for further development. As the military simulations were expanded, an entire section of Redheart Valley was bulldozed with heavy plant to allow mechanized combat. In its final form before the Protoss cleansed the planet, the site was large enough to accommodate a full battalion of soldiers for the advancement of complex battle tactics. And ofcourse, Chau Sara with its resident penal colony meant that a ready supply of volunteers for the live fire training was always available.
