The Velari Tribe is a protoss tribe of the Templar Caste. Its tribal color is yellow.

History[]

The Velari Tribe was unheard of by the Shelak Tribe by the late Aeon of Strife period.[1] Regardless, with the unification of the protoss under the Khala and the creation of the caste system, the Velari were organized under the Templar Caste.[2] The Grand Preservers of the Protoss Empire were of the Velari Tribe.[3]

During the Great War, the Velari helped to defend Aiur against the zerg. They participated in the protection of the khaydarin crystals[4] and in the defense of the sacred protoss temple[5] alongside the Ara, Akilae and Auriga Tribes. However, despite their efforts, the zerg managed to destroy the protoss defenses, resulting in the Overmind implanting itself on the planet.[6]

By 2503[7] the Velari Tribe had no representation in the Hierarchy.[8]

Notes[]

  • The name Velari is possibly derived from the Latin word velites "skirmishers." (sing. veles) or velati "reserved < unarmed < covered/dressed" (sing. velatus).
