[edit] History
[edit] Early History
The Ara Tribe was assembled from Khas' closest allies at the close of the Aeon of Strife. The yothful enthusiasm of the Ara helped to promote the mandates of the Khala and the ease the fragmented trbes to a lasting peace.[1]
Upon the creation of the caste system, the Ara came to control the Judicator Assembly, thus being the dominant force within the Conclave (most of whose members were members of the Ara Tribe).[1] In addition, the Ara Tribe operated the khalen'ri[2] (Khalani for Conclave Praetor Guard)[1] and had a powerful fleet.[3][4]
[edit] Recent History
Upon detection of the Zerg threat within the Koprulu Sector, the Ara argued that the aliens should be the greatest concern of the Protoss, regardless of the fate of humanity. In this, their wish was granted, though Executor Tassadar came to defy the Conclave's will.[1]
Months later, during the early stages of the Zerg invasion of Aiur, the Ara Tribe made a last ditch attempt to defend the Protoss Temple from them, but failed.[5]
[edit] Trivia
Ara means "altar" in Latin. It is likely a reference to the Ara tribe's religious dedication to the Khala. The insignia of the Ara tribe resembles a fire, which is sometimes used as a religious symbol. Ara is also the name of a constellation.
