Furinax Tribe

The Furinax Tribe is a Protoss tribe of the Khalai Caste.

History
During the Aeon of Strife, the Furinax were one of the many Protoss tribes in conflict, many of their attacks being directed against the Shelak Tribe. With their assimilation into the Khalai Caste under the edicts of Khas however, the Furinax serve their race as weaponsmiths and builders. Obsessed with merging the energies of Khaydarin Crystals with modern technologies, the Furinax revel in their progressive crafts, their greatest feats being the Power Suits wielded by Zealots and the Dragoon exoskeleton.

Unlike their ancestors, modern day Furinax however revile warfare of any kind, though they can still be counted upon to fight with a combination of savagery and honor. One such occassion was during the war against the Zerg on Aiur, siding with the Conclave against Executor Tassadar Despite the Furinax's efforts however, Tassadar was rescued by his followers before the Conclave could deliver judgment.

Trivia
The Furinax probably got its name from the Latin word fornax, which means "furance". The emblem of the Furinax tribe resembles a smith hammering a piece of metal, matching their role as weaponsmiths.
