The protoss tribes were divisions in protoss society. Many tribes existed before or during the Aeon of Strife. During the Strife, only six tribes may have existed.[1] Tribal affiliations were abandoned after the development of the Khala, although their proclivities remained.[2]

As in humans, skin color is considered a sign of ethnicity, with each protoss tribe having a specific subtly differing hue or typical pattern of markings associated with it. While the protoss are no longer a tribal society, the tribal bloodlines still run strong.[3][4]
