Mendella is an underground settlement on Shakuras. During the Aeon of Strife, the settlement was flooded when warring Overmind Broods deliberately destroyed a nearby reservoir. During more modern history, the ruins became a proving ground for promising warriors. During the Phantom invasion of Shakuras, a nest from the Overmind's Broods settled into the area, and only a combined force of all Dark Templars and the Dark Archon where able to remove the infestation.
