By 2502, many carriers had undergone a redesign, with a more pointed and jagged hull. Nevertheless, the legend and reverence of carriers such as Koramund prevented the retirement of the carrier. However, by the end of the Brood War the carrier was considered to be slow, bulbous and dangerous as their weaknesses were known and exploited by the zerg, with some Templar speculating that they were only maintained in the Great Fleet as a relic of the past, opting in favor of the more efficient void ray.
Īround the time of the Great War, carriers had smooth curved hulls and a bulbous design, in the style of the flagship Gantrithor. History Ĭarriers are an ancient craft that were created in the Second Age of the Protoss Empire. The Ihan-rii developed carriers made of a light, durable and chemically inert animated stone. Purifier carriers are more streamlined for automation, and possess an arsenal of deadly drone weapons.
Tal'darim carriers differ from the Daelaam/Khalai design they are warships through and through. Certain corners of protoss space still construct ships in this style to honor Tassadar and his sacrifice. Prior to the end of the Brood War, many carriers were designed with a more curved and bulbous design to mimic the flagship Gantrithor. After the Great War, the protoss sought to improve carrier efficiency, which led to the installation of the graviton catapult. Khalai engineers work in the plant, where they see to the interceptors' maintenance and launch operations. Connected to the hangar is an automated manufacturing plant that produces interceptors. The carrier's hangar is capable of housing craft such as scouts, arbiters, and phoenixes. Carriers are further equipped with a bridge and teleportation platform. Ĭarrier commanders have private quarters. The internal design of each carrier varied, reflecting the creativity of its design team. Carriers utilize vespene gas as a fuel source. These crystals discharge spent ions, requiring the Khalai Caste engineers who maintain them to wear radiation suits. The carrier is powered by a central crystal matrix, an advanced khaydarin crystal that has its powered channeled through the ship via a crystal relay matrix. The resulting hull plates are not easily breached, be it through kinetic, thermal, or biological means. Afterwards, the alloy is subject to a complex surface treatment that involves different gasses and substances. Carriers are large, heavily armored, and are protected by plasma shields, When constructing these ships, Khalai craftsmen meticulously shape high-density alloys into thick curved plates, using extreme temperatures to remove any structural imperfections which could compromise their strength.
