Ghosts are feared terran covert operatives. They are known for their skill, psionic powers and ability to cloak.[1]
The unit voiced by Chris Metzen.[2]
Game Unit
The ghost is a support unit. Its attack and vitality are unremarkable for its cost. Its weapon deals concussive damage, which makes it ineffective against large units (e.g siege tanks and ultralisks) unless massed, which is usually unfeasible due to its high tech position, cost and build time. Ghosts are a poor choice for large-scale combat due to their expensive cost and fragility to many attacks and spells such as spawn broodling, psionic storm and irradiation. Ghosts are also fairly slow which leaves them vulnerable to units like vultures and mutalisks. Defensively, dark templar make good counters against ghosts, especially when they attempt to use the nuclear missile ability.
The ghost also has its own death sound that is in the game data, however it is not implemented into the gameplay.
The ghost is best used with its abilities, listed below.
Abilities
The ghost can cloak. It can still use attack and use other abilities while cloaked.

A nuclear silo may build and store one missile each.
A ghost launches and "aims" the nuclear missile at a targeted location. The missile arrives 14 seconds after. The ghost must aim for the entire duration; if the ghost takes any other action, or the ghost is killed, or the missile is cancelled, the launch is aborted and the missile is wasted.
The launch is broadcast to all players with the audio and visual message "Nuclear Launch Detected." The targeted location is visible to all players as a small flashing red dot.
The missile deals 500 damage or removes two-thirds of total hit points (whichever is greater) to all units within a wide blast radius. One nuke kill most units, and critically damage most buildings. Two nukes will destroy nearly anything. Without Ocular Implants, the ghost's targeting distance is within the blast radius.
