The Protoss
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 an inflexibility of thinking which hampers their relations with their more volatile neighbors. They have attempted to remain distanced from their Terran neighbors, but as the Confederacy expands conflict is inevitable. The Protoss appear to be deeply religious, although the details of their beliefs are not known. What is known is that all Protoss share a special psychic
connection to each other and their homeworld, Aiur. With training, a single Protoss can learn to tap into this mental gestalt and use its power to enact a variety of physical
effects, including the manipulation of space-time itself. The military caste of the Protoss, the Templar, can mentally form weapons and shields without a physical power source. The Protoss refuse to confirm or deny the rumors that they are capable of reading and manipulating the human mind. In order to access the collective consciousness, then Protoss must construct great crystal nexus points that act as focii for mental energy and
links to their homeworld. Although present Terran technology cannot detect or access the Protoss gestalt, it is theorized that the Zerg may not only be aware of it, but have been drawn to it from across the galaxy.
