Corsair

The Corsair-class interceptor is a unit in the fictional StarCraft universe. They are a new, but versatile addition to the Protoss Starfleet. They were created by the Dark Templar as exclusive anti-starfighter units that could defend their larger capital ships: the carriers. They are exclusive to the StarCraft: Brood War computer game, and not in the original StarCraft game.

Their main attack is a strictly air-to-air neutron flare, a rapidly firing emission beam weapon that builds up a charge alongside two nodes on the two wings of the starfighter. An energy arc then connects both of the fully charged nodes, and a neutron pulse is emitted between the prongs of the Corsair-class starfighter. Although this only deals 5 units of damage per shot, neutron flares take little energy to generate, and the rapid rate of fire makes the Corsair one of the most lethal Protoss air units in the StarCraft: Brood War computer game.

The disruption web ability can be researched at the Fleet Beacon building for 150 mineral units and 150 Vespene gas units. This allows the Corsair fighter pilots to focus the background psionic energy though their neutron emitter nodes, and cast a web of "psionic static" that jams enemy towers.
