The Protoss Conclave - Units and Structures
Protoss Units
The Protoss have mastered the art of war ages ago, after eons of infighting on their homeworld, Aiur. Unfortunately, this process has taken its toll on the population. While Protoss warriors are highly disciplined and utterly fearless, they tend to be fewer in number than their enemy. Nevertheless, their military zeal, immovable psychological resolve, and incredibly advanced technology add up to a race that will not take defeat in stride. The Protoss will fight to the end and are convinced that defeat is not an option.
Protoss military forces tend to be expensive but extremely powerful. Even their common footman, the Zealot, is more than a match for any ground unit the enemy may throw its way. The bold Protoss prefer to engage in direct combat, but are not above using deception to gather reconnaissance or otherwise to foil the enemy. The invisible Observers are cunning scouts, while the remarkable Arbiter starships conceal Protoss forces from the enemy within a space time shroud. Erstwhile, the regal High Templars may create armies of illusory units to distract the foe, then rain destruction upon them with devastating Psionic Storms. Other Protoss units, including the Reaver, Archon, and Carrier, represent sheer destructive potential; they can crush any enemy opposition with incomparable efficiency. While the Protoss are so far beyond both the Zerg and the Terrans from a technological standpoint, their arrogant nature and the high cost of upholding their war effort means the Protoss face a very real threat in the forthcoming conflict.
You will find the Protoss units and structures presented in a logical order, from the most basic to the most advanced.
