Spectre


 * This article is about the warrior and StarCraft: Ghost unit. For the novel, see StarCraft: Ghost: Spectres.

Spectres are elite ghost agents which have been exposed to the psionic reagent substance terrazine. They are part of "Project Shadow Blade", led by General Horace Warfield.

Overview
Spectres are the product of "Project Shadow Blade", which transforms ghosts into "spectres" - shadowy superhuman beings bent on executing the will of their "true master".

The Dominion discovered and used terrazine gas, a potent psionic reagent, about four years after the Brood War.

Appearances
Blizzard Entertainment has stated that they are keen on exploring the idea of "this weird new substance" that could affect certain psychic abilities and the spectres, and they might make it into StarCraft II. Spectres will play a key role in the plot of the StarCraft: Ghost novel, StarCraft: Ghost: Spectres, where their backstory is expected to be revealed.
