Project Shadowblade

"Sir, I received an encrypted transmission from an untraceable source. It claims that Tosh here was part of a classified operation called Project: Shadowblade. They used jorium and terrazine to enhance ghost powers." "It's true. We are called Spectres -- next generation Ghosts."

- Matt Horner and Gabriel Tosh to Jim Raynor

Project Shadow Blade was a secret research project devised by Terran Dominion emperor Arcturus Mengsk after the Brood War.

It would later be considered a subversive offshoot of the Ghost Program.

History
Gabriel Tosh, formerly a ghost, was one of the spectres who emerged from this program. At some point, Gabriel Tosh became the leader and under his leadership the spectres went rogue. During the interbellum, Nova Terra captured and imprisoned many of its members in New Folsom Prison.

During the Second Great War, Tosh sought to build upon the Project by acquiring jorium, terrazine, and more suitable candidates. He established a spectre training facility at Avernus Station. Nova was sent to stop Tosh.

Background
The program used terrazine gas to alter the genetic profile of ghosts, transforming them into spectres – shadowy superhuman beings bent on executing the will of their true master.

The program also used protoss technology.
