Protoss

This is the futuristic space alien race. They're slow and powerful.

Overview
The most technologically advanced race in the game, the Protoss field relatively small but very slow, powerful armies. Their Units cost much more than those of the Terran or Zerg, and require more Supply, but are far more powerful than the equivalent Units of those races. Their Plasma Shields also serve as a replaceable buffer of health.

The Protoss' major downfall is their high cost; it is a small economic disaster if they lose even one unit (as opposed to the Zerg, who throw away their soldiers with impunity). The Protoss also have a weakness no other race has, in the form of their Pylons. If a structure loses its Pylon, it will be useless until the power is restored by another Pylon.
