  StarCraft Compendium: Protoss Strategy - Dark Archon Unit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Dark Archon has no physical attack ability of its own (much like the High Templar of Aiur) but the special abilities it can wield (Feedback, Maelstrom and Mind Control) are more than sufficient to cause massive disarray in an enemy force.
However, like the Archon, the Dark Archon has a frail physical form (a little stronger than the Archon) and if its shields are depleted, be ready to make a run for the nearest Shield Batteries.
The Dark Archon can capture any controllable unit (this excludes Spider Mines, Scarabs, Interceptors and Larvae) when this ability is used and transfer control to the owner of the Dark Archon.

Archons are summoned through the sacrifice of two High Templars, who may merge with one another at will to produce a single being far more physically powerful, though it lacks the High Templars' psionic abilities.
Archons flow into battle with violent resolve, crushing anything and everything that stands in their way with fast and terribly potent Psionic Shockwaves.

 StarCraft Compendium: Protoss Strategy - Archon Unit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
If an Archon does happen to get hit with EMP Shockwave, the best means of survival is to get to a Shield Battery as quickly as possible and recharge the Archon's shields.
The Archon is immune to or at least not much affected by many of the special abilities found in StarCraft.
In island warfare, Archons can be extremely useful as mobile anti-air defense and if you have enough Vespine gas to produce the High Templar needed to summon Archons, you can easily deter any "drop" tactics or aerial assaults.

 StarCraft - Uncyclopedia
Starcraft is a ORTSFPNS (Online Real Time Strategy First Person N00b Shooter) invented by Blizzard during the Great Oppression in order to increase business to the Korean ISP business, which they owned.
The game is based on a non-standard deck of cards, with three Races: the Zerg (monkey-eating dinosaurs), the Terran(named after Koreans named Andrew), and the Protoss (who start off with three aces due to the Zealot speed upgrade).
Starcraft has since become the national sport of Korea.

While the Terran Medic and Valkyrie come to the aid of the Terran Dominion, the Protoss Corsair and Dark Archon (it is merged form 2 Dark Templar) support the forces of Aiur.
The Dark Archon has a tough time speaking however : you would swear he has some sort of foreign object caught in his throat My personal favourite has to be the medic.
Without giving too much away, lets just say that the Terran medic (a she by the way) says a few things that suggest you should not put her alone with a marine in a bunker.

 Starcraft online - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
I was thinking today about the possibility of making a MMO of Starcraft, I expect I'm far from the first person to come up with such an idea but it baffles me why Blizzard have made no effort to do so.
Personally I found Starcraft to be a much better game than Warcraft and would love to see an online rpg built around the universe.
I wouldn't and I am a drooling fanboy as well, my reasoning is that Starcraft has too rich a storyline to just kill it and freeze it the way a MMOG does it.

 MacReactor Review: Starcraft & Starcraft: Brood War
Starcraft has a detailed background story, building on and in many ways excelling far beyond the original scope of the background of the Warcraft series.
What truly makes Starcraft a winner, though, is that it compensated for the terrible sameness that pervaded most of the opposing units in Warcraft.
Starcraft did not invent the real-time strategy genre, but outside of Total Annihilation, few of the second-generation RTS games have combined the ease of use and powerful play that Starcraft delivers.

Whereas the "regular" Archon focuses its psionic strength into a powerful psionic shockwave, Dark Archons directly control and manipulate psychic energies, affecting and even controlling the minds of their enemies.
Stasis an opponent's Dark Archons to remove them from use, then wreak havoc on your opponent, or arrange forces to guarantee a speedy death for when they "thaw" out.
Try to keep Dark Archons Parasited whenever possible, so you can keep track of their movements, and not be surprised by them.

 Crucial Classics: StarCraft from 1UP.com
StarCraft defined conventions that are so essential to the genre, it's impossible to conceive of an RTS without them.
StarCraft features plenty of durable sci-fi concepts (or you could call them "well-worn" to put a slightly different spin on it), but all the familiar pieces have been carefully fitted together.
StarCraft owes a fair debt to C&C, particularly with its introduction of the commando unit (which prefigures some of the later game's powerful story-critical characters) and the more versatile employment of aerial offensive and transport units.

 Starcraft: Brood War Hints and Game Tips for PC
The Dark Archon is possibly my favorite unit in the whole game.
It has no "attack" of it's own like the Archon, but it can mind control enemy units (once researched), and it can damage an enemy unit that has energy with the feedback ability.
Maelstrom, yet again another Dark Archon ability (must be researched) is like a shorter version of lockdown, but with a splash effect, paralyzing all units in the vicinity.

So, the UED would come back in StarCraft 2, no longer with an expiditionary force, but with several full-scale fleets, armed with the highest of Earth technology.
Now, if you've read the instruction manual that came with StarCraft, you'd know that Earth had been under the UPL (United Powers League) for the past 600 years, and was recently reforged into the UED.
