| Protoss buildings have
shields. The shields will recharge automatically during and after an
attack. You can upgrade shields at the Forge. Pylons are
needed to expand your base. You have to build within the aura of Psi
of each Pylon which provides power for the building or buildings.
When the Pylon that is powering the building is destroyed, you will no
longer be able to use that building since it got disconnected from the
Psionic Matrix. To reconnect, you must build another Pylon there to
replace the one that was destroyed. Protoss use Warp Gates to
produce their buildings. Unlike the other races, while one building
is warping in you can use that same probe to warp in another building.
