The oracle is an aerial protoss support vessel.

Overview
Edit
A psionic warship, the oracle was developed by the protoss after the first phase of the Second Great War, in order to maximize the effectiveness of their war machine against their enemies.[1] They are agile support vessels, and feature some of the most advanced protoss technologies in existence.[2]
Oracle pilots hail from an order of young Nerazim dedicated to understanding and controlling time. Their abilities allow them to calculate how and when to use their ships to most effectively win a battle. The order believes it can change the fate of the protoss race.[2]
Oracles bear the aesthetics of the Nerazim, with their silver-color and blue hulls, and their green glows.[3]
Game UnitEdit
The oracle is meant for scouting and economic disruption.[4] It allows protoss players to be more aggressive in their raiding tactics than in previous games.[5]

DevelopmentEdit
|
The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm which is no longer valid. |
The oracle uses a modified star relic model, due to the art team's fondness for the cut unit. The oracle originally had a gold and blue color scheme, but switched to a Dark Templar color scheme when the tempest's color was changed from Nerazim-oriented color to gold, and the development team felt that one of the two new flying units should use the silver and green coloring.[3]
The oracle's Time Warp ability was moved to the mothership core in January 2013.[6]
QuotationsEdit
NotesEdit
Added by HawkiThe oracle's voice corresponds to a female protoss.
A variant oracle portrait can be unlocked through Heart of the Swarm's leveling system.[7]
