Legacy of the Void [ ]
In Legacy of the Void , interceptors can be permanently launched from a carrier using its "release interceptors" ability. They can be launched to any location, but self-destruct after 60 seconds.[1] Interceptors make two rapid attacks, one right after the other, each dealing 5 damage.[2]
Nova Covert Ops [ ]
In Nova Covert Ops , interceptors are an armament of certain Tal'darim motherships .[3]
Co-op Missions [ ]

Development [ ]
In Heart of the Swarm the carrier was temporarily removed, effectively removing interceptors as well.[4] However, during the Heart of the Swarm beta , the carrier was added back to the game.[5]
The cost of interceptors will be increased to 15 minerals in an upcoming patch.[6]
