Carriers are the capital ships of the Protoss. Their immense hulls house a multitude of small drone fighters called Interceptors. The Carrier itself possesses no weaponry, and uses the Interceptors to deal damage. This method proves extremely useful as the enemy, clouded by a host of robotic flyers, are confused as to what they should be striking at. With this stratagem, Carriers remain behind, away from enemy fire, producing and sending new Interceptors into the fray to replace those that have been lost. Carriers can control a set number of drones and should it fall, these would go down with it.
