Starcraft2.com has been updated with lore for the Planet Mar Sara:
Karune wrote:The Sara system was initially catalogued by freelance prospectors and colonized by an expedition from Tarsonis several years later. Mar Sara formed the eighth of the thirteen core colonies of the Terran Confederacy. The Sara system was unusual for having two habitable planets, but Mar Sara was always a backwater colony compared to the more prosperous Chau Sara.
Mar Sara was one of the first planets to be infested by the zerg when they appeared in terran space. It was also the first planet on which the Confederates fought the advancing Swarm to any significant extent, although most of the actual fighting was done by local militia forces.
Together with the Lore update we got 2 new concept art drawings, and 6 new screenshots from the single player campaign! If you're wondering why the colors are so weird:
Karune wrote:These screenshots depict more of what single player elements would have rather than multiplayer. In multiplayer, contrast is very important, to easily identify a players units, whereas in single player, realism and immersion will be a higher priority.

It may just be me, but I really do believe that the one who came up with things like unique units and that just has to be Dustin Browder, and sure some of them like the Queen may actually benefit the gameplay, and so far I am not dissapointed, but it still annoys me slighty!
Anyways, <3 Mar Sara terrain with doodads!
