Another Ghost's ability is Lockdown, it causes any mechanical vehicle to freeze inactively. |

Goliaths are also pretty good against ground units. |

Restoration removes Parasite from infected units. Optic Flare blinds one unit. |
 Wraith | Cost: 200 100 Building Time: 60 Hit Points: 120 Damage: 8 (upgrade factor +1) for laser; 15 (upgrade factor +2) for missiles Armor: 0 (upgrade factor +1) Energy: 200 (Power Plant upgrade +50) Requires: Starport Upgrades: Weapons and Armor Upgrades (in Armory) Cloaking Upgrade and Power Plant Upgrade (in Control Tower) Wraith is your basic air unit.

EMP Blast will bring down shields, drain all power and empty all energy of the enemy units in area of blast. All units that have energy units won't be able to use any of their special abilities. Irradiate is also an effective ability. The organic unit (not machine) Irradiated by Science Vessel will start to loose hit points and eventually will die. All other organic units that will come in contact with Irradiated unit will also get damaged or die. Defensive Matrix temporarily gives to any unit extra 250 hit points. |
