Cybernetics Core

 
The Cybernetics Core is an important structure for several reasons and must be established fairly early in your campaign. It contains the data for your Gateways to produce Dragoons, which you will require in good supply to support your Zealots and fend off flying assailants. Once resources allow, you may wish to develop the Singularity Charge attack that increases Dragoon attack range significantly.

The Cybernetics Core is also used for air weapons and air armor upgrades. Prioritize air weapons upgrades first; Scouts and Carriers benefit enormously from these enhancements. If you plan properly, you may have your first upgrade well underway by the time you create your first flying units, since the Cybernetics Core is available before those structures required to build your airforce. In fact, the Cybernetics Core is the key to making advanced construction options available to your army.
