Project Gestalt was a Terran Dominion research project led by Doctor Stanley Burgess. Its purpose involves capturing protoss for experimentation, using them to create protoss/terran hybrid soldiers in preparation for conflict against the protoss and zerg. The project was expensive – the cost in psi-screens alone was greater than the gross planetary product of Tyrador IX. The project eventually succeeded in creating a successful prototype, codenamed Gestalt Zero by 2502. Gestalt Zero found and killed Burgess before he could escape with the project data, and the protoss destroyed the project.
