Game Role

The Dragoon is a Protoss ranged attack quadrapedal mecha that deals medium explosive damage. The dragoon can be upgraded for longer range, higher damage and stronger armor and shields. The Protoss Dragoon possesses 100 hit points and 80 points of plasma shielding. The Protoss are a race in Blizzard Entertainments real-time strategy computer game, StarCraft. ... In StarCraft, the real-time strategy computer game, there are several damage types. ...


Role in Protoss Society

Dragoons are created from Zealots who have been crippled or mortally injured in combat and are thus unable to continue fighting in their preferred way. They continue to volunteer their services, however; their crippled or mortally injured bodies are placed within large exoskeletons which contain any life-support equiment required by the individual Protoss.


Dragoons are somewhat ostracized by other Protoss, however, and they frequently see themselves as lesser units. The Protoss are a race in Blizzard Entertainments real-time strategy computer game, StarCraft. ...


Until recently, the Dragoon has been the only ground Protoss unit that can fire ranged attacks. However, the Protoss Vindicator, also known as the Purifier, has appeared in StarCraft: Ghost. The Protoss are a race in Blizzard Entertainments real-time strategy computer game, StarCraft. ... StarCraft: Ghost StarCraft: Ghost is a tactical action game for video game consoles, currently under development by Blizzard Entertainment. ...


Dragoon Technology

Within the Cybernetics Core, the structure required to summon Dragoons, are the mysterious essence translators that bond the spirits of fallen Protoss to the cold metal exoskeletons of the Dragoons. Eventually, by focusing through the Khala, the fallen warriors can control the movements of the Dragoon as naturally as if they were within their former bodies. Khala (path of ascension) is the fictional religion of the Protoss alien species in the Blizzard game StarCraft. ...


Dragoon weaponry consists of a psychically shielded bolt of antimatter, capable of being directed towards both air and ground units. The weapon is functionally similar to that of the Photon Cannon and Protoss Arbiter. The Dragoon itself is often used as a support unit for heavy ground attack units, or alternately as a multipurpose assault unit capable of being massed and sent against enemy positions.


Terran operatives often had a vested interest in Zerg and Protoss alien technology, as evidenced by the Starcraft Map of the Month scenario Deceptions, in which Kimeran Pirates steal (among other things) a data file titled "Utilizing Dragoon Technology For Human Reconstruction" from a Confederate installation. The Terran are a race found in the StarCraft universe — a fictional universe where computer games and books are set. ... In the StarCraft universe, the Terran Confederacy was an interstellar confederacy set by the Terrans of the Koprulu Sector. ...
