The backbone of the Shadow Guard are the centurionzealots. At least some of the centurions joined the Golden Armada during the Reclamation of Aiur and served aboard the Spear of Adun.[1] A number of dark templar also serve in the Shadow Guard. When Amon's zerg invaded Shakuras, the Shadow Guard took part in its defense, and experienced heavy losses.[2]
The Shadow Guard are divided into legions, with exactly one hundred centurions assigned to each legion.[3]
The Shadow Guard dark templar are fully upgraded dark templar with increased stats, and timed life lasting 60 seconds. They can be deployed anywhere as a quick response to unexpected attacks by ground forces. They are also useful for quickly clearing out the rocks that block expansions.[4]
