A hive mind emulator is a terran structure used to mind control zerg creatures. They are available in the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty campaign.

Overview

The emulator was developed by Egon Stetmann for Raynor's Raiders during the Second Great War. Stetmann based it on research into zerg DNA, where he located the Overmind's original strain.[1]

Game Unit

The emulator is unlocked in the zerg research tree after acquiring 25 zerg research points in Hyperion's laboratory.[1]

Abilities

Mind Control: The emulator can permanently mind control a zerg unit for 50 energy at a range of 9. Hive mind emulators cannot control heroic units or drones. Note that mind controlled zerg will count as your control even if you don't own overseers or overlords.

Building Upgrades

All structures repair themselves to 50% life. All structure fires are automatically put out.

This all-in-one safety system automatically dispatches robotic drones to put out any fires and perform basic repairs on damaged structures. Although these drones are effective at doing basic repairs, they do not have a strong enough AI to perform the more delicate repairs needed to restore a structure past half life.[2]
