[edit] Overview

A spectre?

Spectres are the product of "Project Shadow Blade", which uses terrazine gas to transform ghosts into "spectres" - shadowy superhuman beings bent on executing the will of their "true master".[1] They have been described as "subservient super-soldiers".[2]

The Terran Dominion discovered and used terrazine gas, a potent psionic reagent, after the Brood War.[1] Scientists consider the side effects of terrazine enhancement to be "unpredictable".[3]
