Robotic Bay

The Robotics Bay is a structure on the Protoss Technology Tree that unlocks the Colossus and the Disruptor units at the Robotics Facility. It also contains three upgrades for Robotics Facility units: the Gravitic Boosters speed upgrade for Observers, the Gravitic Drive speed upgrade for Warp Prisms, and the Extended Thermal Lance attack range upgrade for the Colossus. The Robotics Bay can only be created after the Robotics Facility has been warped in.

Like most Protoss structures, the Robotics Bay can only be warped in at a location powered by the Psionic Matrix. It can only research upgrades while it remains within the Matrix, otherwise it becomes unpowered and cannot function. However, even an unpowered Robotics Bay still allows the creation of the Colossus as well as the Disruptor.

PROTOSS – THE WARRIORS OF AIUR

HONOR. WISDOM. TRADITION.

In stark contrast to the adaptable Terrans and the ferocious Zerg, stand the rigid, tradition-minded Protoss. With their psionic abilities and advanced technology, the Protoss have long considered themselves the most powerful species in the galaxy. This people’s greatest asset is the tenets of their primary religion – the Khala – whose tight framework demands dogmatic adherence.

Protoss Buildings

Another outstanding technical achievement of the Protoss is to teleport their buildings over long distances from their home planet Aiur to the most remote parts of the galaxy. This is done by converting the buildings into energy and dematerializing them within the psifields built on the outposts.
