Warp prism

The Protoss Phase Prism is a flying robotic machine designed to transport troops and strengthen the Warp Matrix.

The Phase Prism's robotic mind is contained in an advanced crystal lattice created with psionic manufacturing techniques. The crystal computer is able to manipulate matter and energy with a precision that an ordinary organic mind could not even comprehend. Creatures and objects can be transformed into energy, imprinted in the crystal lattice; the operation can then be reversed to reconfigure the transported units into matter, disembarking them from the transport.

The Phase Prism can also act as a mobile focus for the Psionic Matrix. Deploying the Phase Prism will power Protoss structures around it in a manner similar to a Pylon. This ability enables it to power Gateways, enabling the rapid establishment of a forward base near or even the enemy's own base.
