An Interceptor is a robotic protoss air unit created by the carrier.
Overview[]
Interceptors have a purpose to attack both enemy air and ground units. As a unit without its own mind, they are automatically summoned by the carriers whenever one enemy approaches, shooting them into ashes.
Unveiled in StarCrafts Season 3 episode "Carrier Career", they are constructed inside the carrier, wherein the protoss crew uses ZeraTOOLs to build parts and assemble them into fighter robots in several seconds, only if the carrier's captain pays them with minerals for their work. If the protoss has run out of minerals during the battle, the building crew will not hesitate to build another interceptor, even by means of begging for help.
Appearance[]
Interceptors are simplified versions of in-game ones. They have two team-colored blasters shaped like an egg attached on both sides of the main engine with a particular cockpit on top.
