The Protegit is a fast-flying companion to the mothership, the Cubikon. They can be found alongside the Cubikon mothership, and in some Galaxy Gates. The Protegit is one of the most annoying Aliens in the Darkorbit Universe due to it's speed and moving patterns. As a defender to the Cubikon, they will swarm around the first attacking Ship, and deal large amounts of damage over a small period of time. They are the only defense the Cubikon has against players. Once the parent Cubikon is destroyed, the Protegits will fly around, attacking anything in it's path. They will not, however, follow any ships. Eventually they will disappear and a new Cubikon will spawn at their former location.
