November 5, 2007 6:00 AMBlizzard Entertainment has added another unit to the growing list of buildings and units featured on the official StarCraft II website. This time Blizzard unveils the Protoss Observer, a support unit offering detection of hidden enemy units. The site update features new visuals of the SC II version of the Observer in action.These small drones are employed to survey vast wasteland areas or observe and record battles for study within the protoss archives. Their complex sensor array leaves little energy for defenses, but they can detect cloaked or concealed enemies with ease. This ability makes observers invaluable auxiliary units on the battlefield. Observers that are used for deep-space exploration are often deployed without any defensive systems. However, those destined for use in a combat zone are equipped with a micro-cloaking field to hide them from the enemy. The small sensor signature of an observer means that the drone does not have to drain its energy in order to maintain the field over long periods.Click over to the site below for more information about all the StarCraft II units.StarCraft II: Protoss ObserverBlizzard EntertainmentStarCraft II
