Interceptor (StarCraft II)

Interceptors return in StarCraft II as the carrier's armament.

Wings of Liberty
By default, constructing interceptors is set to autocast; they can be replaced automatically. They're automatically destroyed if the parent carrier is destroyed. Unlike in StarCraft interceptors are unselectable in-game.

Legacy of the Void
In Legacy of the Void, interceptors can be permanently launched from a carrier using its "release interceptors" ability. They can be launched to any location, but self-destruct after 60 seconds. Interceptors make two rapid attacks, one right after the other, each dealing 5 damage.

Nova Covert Ops
In Nova Covert Ops, interceptors are an armament of certain Tal'darim motherships.

Co-op Mission
Karax and Fenix can deploy interceptors via carriers.

Development
In Heart of the Swarm the carrier was temporarily removed, effectively removing interceptors as well. However, during the Heart of the Swarm beta, the carrier was added back to the game.
