Crushing grip

Crushing grip is a psionic power demonstrated by Sarah Kerrigan during the Second Great War. Using the ability, Kerrigan was able to incapacitate a group of targets, holding them in mid-air while doing moderate damage. She was able to control the strength and intensity of this ability, and was able to use it on Valerian Mengsk only to lift him up by the neck and choke him, but not to deal lasting harm to him.
