Recall is a protoss teleportation ability.

Overview[]

Recall operates over spatial distances. It is accomplished by creating tears in space-time and moving objects through those tears.[1]

Mass recall capabilities was developed for motherships during the Golden Age of Expansion of the Protoss Empire in response to the destruction of two motherships in the gravity well of a neutron star.[2]

Recall was a signature ability of arbiters during the Great War. Control over space-time manipulation was provided by the Judicator caste crew. Arbiters fell out of use after the fall of Aiur and the passing of the Judicator Caste.[3]

"Dimensional recall" is a version of recall on a larger scale that allows an entire protoss base to travel between planets after a period of preparation.[4]
