Purification: Artanis Awakens Purifiers on Cybron (Starcraft 2 | Protoss)

With the stasis shield deactivated on the surface of Endion, Hierarch Artanis and Fenix moved Daelaam forces to the orbiting Cybros. Their goal was to reactivate the ancient Purifiers still in stasis. However, Amon's zerg swiftly took positions on Cybros, and were now being reinforced by hybrid. The Daelaam took positions next to the purifier core powering Cybros, as the zerg and hybrid attempted to overrun them. Phase-smith Karax noted that the station was divided into quadrants, and destroying the null circuits on each would reactivate the Purifiers on each section. Along the way the encountered a rogue purifier warden that had activated on its own, but its AI had gone rampant.
Upon activating the first quadrant, a purifier modeled after Executor Clolarion addressed Artanis, who implored him to forgive the sins of the past and help him in the war against Amon. Clolarion was skeptical, but said he would discuss that after Cybros had been cleansed of the zerg. The three other quadrants were cleared, each section activating another wave of Purifiers that tore through the zerg hive clusters entrenched on Cybros. As the last of the Purifiers were activated, Karax was locked out of control of the core, and it powered up. Clolarion fired Cybros's purification beam on Endion, purging the surface of Amon's brood and all other life.
Artanis contacted the Purifiers through Fenix, who linked with Clolarion. He asked the Purifiers to join them once again in the war against Amon, to which Clolarion stated they were no better than the Conclave who tried to control them. Artanis insisted that they join as equals or else be annihilated, and Clolarion consoled with the other purifier personalities. They agreed to follow, as long as Fenix was allowed to speak for them and Artanis held to his word. The Purifiers were now one with the Daelaam.

Do protoss communicate with each other telepathically? Is that why their voices have a echo-ey quality?

[@BIGESTblade]

Exactly. Hummies still talk though, even though they technically don't have to when communicating with protoss.

[@ThePhantomPhanto]

So, Purifiers were technically Series-9 robots. I like that.

[@mariomacpui4416]

I don't think the developers judged accurately the power that they gave the protoss with the purifiers as their aid. They gave them a weapon that could wipe out life on a planetary scale. Effectively, protoss had no need to even get of their precious ship for warfare.

[@dragonstormx]

Lore wise, it's actually long been a thing that Protoss have the firepower to wipe out entire planets. It's stated in the original game that they destroyed life on the world you started on the Terran campaign after the Zerg overran it. It's just that using such weapons in atmosphere is too dangerous. Exactly why they couldn't torch Char is anyone's guess. If they could get troops to the surface I don't why Tassadar couldn't wipe out must of the Zerg from orbit and then send the Dark Templar to pick off the Overmind and the Cerebrates.

[@stewartb1019]

@@dragonstormx Tassadar only had the Gantrithor at Char, as the Conclave had recalled his fleet. The Gantrithor couldn't destroy the entire surface of Char by itself quickly enough. Before that they destroyed Chau Sara, Mar Sara and Antiga Prime, always when the Zerg were overwhelmingly in control of the planet.

[@ConnorLonergan]

It only destroyed life on the surface. Char has tunnel networks all over the planet and deep in the crust. So Protoss planet killers would only be a temporary solution

[@nevermore7285]

The Protoss have plenty of weapons like that, though none quite as instant, but the problem is the Zerg can bury themselves deep and that their are some worlds that have other inhabitants. Part of the civil conflicts in the first Starcraft was because Tassadar wanted to work with the Terrans and not burn their infected worlds immediately.
