Protoss Units

Site hosted by Angelfire.com: Build your free website today!

The Protoss are an ancient, highly intelligent and powerful race with advanced technology and great Psionic powers. They follow the Khala, (the "Path of Ascension"), a strict religious, philosophical, and social structure. All The Protoss share a psychic connection with each other and their home world, Aiur. Protoss units can be biological or robitic in nature and all units posess Plasma Shielding that take the initial damage from attacks. Shielding regenerates over time or can be instantly recharged through Shield Batteries. Units that are spell casters replenish their energy stores over time. Yellow letters denote Production Hot Keys and red denotes Brood War units.
