Has anyone realized that the protoss are being like totally taken over by the Dark Templar? I mean, is Aiur THAT trashed that they don't have ANYTHING any more?

I mean, like, there's no more

Carriers (Templar Caste)
Arbiters (Judicator Caste)
Dragoons (Dragoon Temple)
Archons (Templar Caste)

whereas the following remain:
Zealots (whatever Khala warriors there are left, I guess)
Immortals (the last of what the Dragoon Temple churned out)

And the following are dark templar energies and technology:
Tempest (Dark Templar carriers)
Twilight Archon ... ummm ... HT + DT = Twilight?
Stalkers (Dark Templar Dragoons)
Star Relic (Dark Templar arbiter)
Soul Hunter ... shit, even the name sounds like the dark templar

I can only imagine that the warprey is piloted by a dark templar.
The word Pheonix means reborn. Maybe the Pheonix are piloted by khala warriors like the Scout was.

And finally I guess the protoss abandoned their planet on a single Mothership, which is why you can only have one :P

Anyone else think the Dark Templar are the last vestiges of the Protoss race?

As far as I can tell, the following Protoss forces are left after Broodwar:
- Protoss on Shakuras, mostly Dark Templar, some High Templar refugees.
- Artanis and Zeratul, probably with some decent backup of both Dark and High Templars.
- Probably some scattered warbands on Aiur.

So I agree with you that the Protoss are mostly Dark Templar now. Basically I think its reasonable since Aiur was destroyed, so most facilities and technologies are lost.

Remember that the carriers for example were build von Aiur and then warped in to its destination. I'm pretty sure there are no production facilities for carriers on Aiur anymore.

The High Templar/Judicator 'culture' still remains within the Protoss society, but their technologies and military devices are mostly lost... I guess...

Obviously. However the Protoss have settlements elsewhere too. They take on a "species guardian" kind of role in the universe, they settle on planets to study and protect newly discovered forms of life. I suspect the Conclave loyalists will use these settlements rather than Shakuras as there base of operations for retaking Aiur.

You also forgot to mention the High Templar, Reaver, and Colossus which are most likely loyal to Aiur as well. I'd also assume Warp Ray is loyalist based too.

It appears the loyalists assume a dominant yellow colour on the units and Dark Templar have a dominant blue colour.
