Protoss/terran hybrid |
Gestalts are terran ghosts, spliced with protoss part to become hybrids, created by experimentation on the former species by Project Gestalt—a black ops research program under the Terran Dominion.
They had unspecified psionic abilities, including using psionic blades. Project leader Doctor Stanley Burgess intended to have them access the Khala and use energy shields as well.
Grafting templar-grade psionic appendages to them increased their psionic abilities and combat potential. The Dominion sought to mass produce these creatures in preparation for conflict against the zerg and protoss. They would be controlled by neural conditioning and neural inhibitors.
The project came to an end, with the sole existing specimen, Gestalt Zero, breaking free of his neural inhibitor and working with the protoss.[1]
