Protoss

## The protoss

The Protoss are a Non Playable Race that spawns in a event that can happen anytime in the game, It also always happens at 20-30 minutes ingame if no protoss scout has spawned.

* ***The Scout***

   The scout is the first protoss that spawns, it has alot of health and shields and deals quite some damage, being able to kill a maxed station if Engr/captain doesn't get on wheel and support the station, If killed, it spawns a **Unknow alien Device**. If The Station dies and it stays alive, it will die after some time due to it's energy running out, If it dies this way, the device spawns on the planet instead of the station.

* ***Unknow Alien device***

The Unknow Alien Device is a Dark pylon/Void pylon that spawns Protoss units to attack the station and any lifeform on it, it is hard to kill and can spawn on many different locations, one of them being the Zoo on the Biosphere, If the crew(or any other race) manages to kill it, a message saying "Unknow alien device destroyed" will appear and blue fire will appear on the location the device was, inside that fire will be a Legendary gun called ***Alien Plasma Blaster***.
If it stays alive for enough time, it will start spawning Zealots(Called Brutes ingame) to defend itself.

* ***Protoss Units***

**The Brute/zealot:**
The Brute is the first and weakest(compared to the other ones) protoss unit, they spawn in small groups of two or three(unlike all other units that instead spawn one per wave), despite being the weakest protoss they can easily kill a Alien or Human, their attacks deal damage in a small area in front of them, making them very good at killing alien minions.

***The Cerberus Blaster:***
The Cerberus is the second and strongest (They deal ALOT of damage agaisnt non shielded units) protoss unit, unlike the Brute they dont spawn in groups and instead spawn one at a time with a small group of brutes, despite being the strongest protoss unit, they cant fight agaisnt shielded (They still deal damage though) units due to their plasma blaster, they can be seen teleporting from time to time although they dont do this when they are on combat, most of the time they are the ones that kill the rads or Power Core since they kill turrets in 3 or 4 shots.

***Alien Support Drone:***
The drone is a uncommon protoss unit that specializes in reducing the damage other protoss take and killing mechanical units, they frequently use guardian shield which reduces damage taken by shields until their energy runs out, they have very little health but alot of shields, emps and phasers are good at killing them, they attack using stronger versions of Arc welders, which drain energy and deal extra damage agaisnt mechanical, making them a small problem to droids that went T-800, a drone ALWAYS appears at the first protoss wave(when the pylon appears), after the first wave their spawn speed reduces and they become quite rare.

***The CHIMERA:***
*A unknow alien war machine.*
The chimera is the second strongest protoss unit and easily one of the strongest non playable units in the game(aside from space units which naturally deal alot of damage due to balance), they have alot of shields and health and can easily take down a human, they attack using phasers that deal alot of damage agaisnt shields.

* ***Protoss Behaviour and extra information***

**Brutes:** Brutes rarely are alone and have at least another brute or a cerberus following them, if you find a brute, expect other protoss units, they are melee and most of them die to turrets.(you can find them getting attacked by 3 or more turrets at the same time, they die to this alot)

**Cerberus:** The cerberus is always ahead of all the other protoss, with the only exception(slightly uncommon though) being the brutes, when not attacking a floor or near a elevator, they go into the vents to get to another floor more quickly, they use the vents much more frequently compared to other protoss, they also dont stay near the other protoss alot, being very common to find one walking alone.

**Support drone:** The drones despite being weak, can easily kill a human without ups with the medium-sized groups it creates when near other protoss, they group with a cerberus and at least 2 Brutes and raid a floor, killing anything on it while the drone uses guardian shield to support the brutes/blaster.

**Chimera:**The chimera is rarely seen with other protoss, unless it is near a drone group, a protoss group that has both a drone and a chimera is rare and can easily destroy a entire floor, due to their big health pools and their slow speed(which makes them use vents alot) they can survive for quite some time after the pylon dies, even after 10 or more minutes, you might still find a chimera roaming a floor after the pylon died.

**Pylon:** The pylon doesnt do anything very unique, except when its on the reactor, in which case the brutes it spawns stay near it while it spawns cerberus and chimeras to roam the station, this behaviour doesnt seem to happen anywhere aside from the reactor.

**Extra:** The protoss rarely form a group without a drone nearby, though brutes will still walk with a blaster near them, blasters also dont stay with brutes for too long, they teleport away and go to another direction after the floor it was gets destroyed, though blasters may follow the brutes for 2 or more floors, the same happens with brutes.
Chimeras take quite some time to kill a floor despite dealing alot of damage, because of this you might meet 2 chimeras near each other attacking doors or droids.
The drones also avoid walking alone for too long, they will try to find a brute or a blaster to support them, if they cant they seem to roam the vents until they find something to attack/follow
All the protoss units are immune to the Station's gas system, brutes are the only exception since they are biological, though their shields protect them.
