HistoryEdit

Main article: Protoss history

Because of the Discord, protoss society came to be split into two—the Khalai of the Protoss Empire and the exiled Nerazim,^[4] who came to settle on Shakuras. Because of the Great War and subsequent Brood War, the former body collapsed and both branches of protoss were forced to band together for mutual survival.^[5]

The Second Great WarEdit

A Daelaam force led by Praetor Karass tracked the Queen of Blades to Ulaan and aided Dark Templar Prelate Zeratul in his quest to find fragments of an ancient prophecy, sacrificing themselves to cover his escape.^[2]

This article or section contains information from the optional Colonist Missions in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

Raynor's Raiders battled against the Daelaam forces led by High Executor Selendis to provide Dr. Ariel Hanson more time to discover a cure for the zerg hyper-evolutionary virus, which had infested the Agrian colonists. The Raiders defeated the protoss and Haven was saved.^[6]

The Raiders decided to help purify the world of Haven and took the protoss' place in destroying the infestation. After the job was done, the Daelaam gave Raynor a plaque honoring his effort.^[3]

Some Daelaam Dark Templar were imprisoned by the Tal'darim on the xel'naga worldship in the Sigma Quadrant. They requested assistance from Raynor's Raiders.^[7]

The FutureEdit

However, over time, the protoss have begun sliding into tribalism.^[8]

In a possible future glimpsed at by a select few, the protoss and their civilization came to an end at the hands of Amon.^[9]
