The Predator is the primary air-to-air defense unit in the Terran fleet. It has a weak laser attack, but fires four lasers in rapid succession. It can convert to Interceptor mode, which intercepts enemy fire, destroying the attack in the process.
Game Unit
The Predator's attack allows it to be an excellent support fighter for the larger, more valuable units, such as the Battlecruiser.
StarCraft II Unit
The Predator is equipped with a point defense laser system which destroys incoming enemy projectiles. This ability is particularly useful when defending key units.
Its rapid attack, not dissimilar to that of the Valkyrie, is useful for taking down large quantities of light enemy air units but finds it difficult to bring down the heavily armored kind.
The Predator has since been removed from the game.
