Protoss

An ancient and proud race, the protoss hail from the jungle world of Aiur. Although their history is one of strife and conflict, the protoss have become a unified people, devoted to the teachings of the Khala and linked by their shared psychic abilities.

Combining formidable physical abilities, innate psionic talent, and extremely advanced robotics and energy technology, the protoss are a force to be reckoned with. Their sophisticated energy shields make their units extremely durable, and the Templar-caste warriors of the protoss harness their psionic talents to devastating offensive effect.

The protoss leaders in StarCraft: The Board Game are Executor Tassadar and Judicator Aldaris. Tassadar, the protoss commander responsible for the incineration of the planets Mar Sara and Chau Sara, has turned his back on the Conclave and joined forces with the dark templar, exiled rebels who sever their psionic tendrils to symbolize their rejection of the psychic link shared by all other protoss. Judicator Aldaris has been dispatched from Aiur to bring the fugitive Tassadar to justice, and to complete the mission Tassadar abandoned: the destruction of all worlds infested with any taint of the zerg, regardless of the presence of other sentient life.
