Starcraft - Protoss Overview
The most
ancient and powerful race in the galaxy (or so they believe), the Protoss
possess a highly structured society based on the preservation of their way of
thinking. Highly intelligent and gifted with great psionic powers, they
nevertheless suffer from a certain inflexibility that makes them extremely
difficult to work with.
Originally
the Protoss were divided into several warring tribes, but they were united by a
single Protoss scholar/philosopher, Khas. He is apparently responsible for
strengthening the psionic racial link that all Protoss share, and he developed
the Khala, a strict religion, philosophy, and social structure. Under the Khala,
the Protoss have mostly abandoned their tribal lines and divided into three
castes: Khalai, artisans and inventors; Templar, warriors and explorers; and
Judicator, administrators and leaders.
Protoss technology is highly advanced compared to Terrans. It relies heavily
upon warp technology - the ability to warp-in structures and unit by opening
wormholes in the space-time continuum and bringing the materials directly in
from the Home world. This makes the Protss very versatile as they don't need
heavy machinery to construct everything, but bring in pre-fab structures from
another location.
Mobile units, both air and ground are treated the same way. The wormhole is
opened and it allows the units to pass through.
