Notes	Pride of Augustgrad can attack and move simultaneously (Co-op Mengsk) Unlike commander Mengsk variant, Laser Batteries have a random delay of -0.0625~0.1875 (average 0.125) seconds, causing Pride of Augustgrad to attack slower than the weapon's description when using them.

The Pride of Augustgrad is a special class of battlecruisers utilized by the Royal Guard of the Terran Dominion.

History

During the Second Great War, these elite battlecruisers served in Emperor Arcturus Mengsk's Royal Guard. Several Pride of Augustgrad battlecruisers were also attached to Alpha Squadron. Multiple Pride of Augustgrad battlecruisers took part in the ineffectual defense of the Korhal Palace during Kerrigan's invasion of Korhal. At one point during the battle, Emperor Mengsk personally ordered Alpha Squadron's battlecruisers to destroy the Hyperion, but they fell to the combined Swarm-Raider forces.

	This article or section contains information derived from Co-op Missions, and should not be considered part of the official StarCraft storyline.

In the alternate timeline where Arcturus Mengsk survives the Second Great War, these mighty ships were used against the forces of Amon.

Co-op Missions

Pride of Augustgrad battlecruisers can be built by Arcturus Mengsk in Co-op Missions. They serve as powerful warships, that can rank up to empower their Yamato Cannon and Tactical Jump abilities. At Rank 2, the Pride of Augustgrad gains area-of-effect damage on its Yamato Cannon. At Rank 3, the Yamato Cannon fires a total of three times, choosing new targets if the main one is destroyed. This means that a fully upgraded Pride of Augustgrad can easily clear clumped groups of enemies. With the Field Assisted Targeting System, the Pride of Augustgrad can also support masses of Dominion troopers by providing extra range.

As the ship has no means to repair itself, changing a few troopers into Dominion laborers between fights to repair them will keep veteran ships in the battle.

Royal Guard of the Dominion

Killing enemy units grants experience to nearby Royal Guards. If there are no nearby Royal Guards when an enemy is killed, the experience is instead split between all Royal Guards in the mission. Experience allows the unit to gain Rank, which improves its damage, armor, health and unlock new abilities or passive bonuses.

• Rank 1: Yamato Cannon and Tactical Jump hold an additional charge.
• Rank 2: Yamato Cannon deals damage in an area around the target.
• Rank 3: Yamato Cannon fires 2 additional times, choosing new targets.

Principal Proletariat: Increases the gained experience by 100%.

Usage

Passive Notes The leveling up mechanics works as follows: When an enemy unit is killed, 100 (200 with Principal Proletariat) experience per supply cost of the unit killed is "dropped". If the unit is a non-Heroic unit with 0 supply cost, it will drop no experience. If the unit is a Heroic unit with 0 supply cost, it will drop 800 (1600 with Principal Proletariat) experience. Dropped experience is equally split among all eligible units (Royal Guard, not at max rank) within 15 range of the unit killed. If there are no eligible units within 15 range of the unit killed, all eligible units on the map get an equal split of the dropped experience. Once a Royal Guard unit has reached maximum rank, it is removed from the pool of eligible units so as to not waste experience. Mastery: +0.5 (+1 with Principal Proletariat) experience per supply (+4 (+8 with Principal Proletariat) experience on Heroic unit with 0 supply cost) per Royal Guard Experience Gain Rate mastery point. Up to a maximum 115 (230 with Principal Proletariat) experience per supply (920 (1840 with Principal Proletariat) experience on Heroic unit with 0 supply cost).
