Ghost (StarCraft II)

Ghosts are feared terran covert operatives. They are known for their skill, psionic powers and ability to cloak.

Ghosts gain some new abilities suiting their role as special forces troopers. They also have a higher rate of fire. Blizzard Entertainment is planning on giving them lore-based abilities from novels, graphic novels and a previous project.

Ghosts are trained at a barracks with an attached tech lab and require a ghost academy. Ghosts may be available earlier in tech tree, but abilities like Cloaking would only be available afterwards.

Development
The ghost lost its EMP ability as of November 2008.

The ghost used to have a snipe ability which worked on all organic creatures, dealing 50 damage + 100 damage vs light units in November 2007. As of November 2008, the ability was transformed into Psi-Round, which deals lower base damage but high damage to psionic opponents.
