Observatory

 
An Observatory is required before you can construct Protoss Observers, used to survey the battlefield and provide crucial reconnaissance. You may also use this structure to enhance your Observers with faster movement and superior field of vision. Constructing an Observatory is always a good idea, but make certain you have plenty of resources reserved for your military forces when you do.

Robotics Support Bay

 
This inexpensive structure contains the plans for constructing Protoss Reavers at your Robotics Facility. Reavers make for extremely powerful base defense, so it may be in your best interest to build a Robotics Support Bay relatively early. Always make certain you have enough resources for plenty of Zealots and Dragoons before investing in a Robotics Support Bay, though, because Reavers are Costly and ineffective without smaller, faster units to back them up.

You may research several expensive but only marginally useful upgrades from the Robotics Support Bay. These include upgraded damage for your Reavers, questionably valuable in that Reavers are tremendously powerful by default; increased Reaver capacity, hardly a necessity since Reavers produce ammunition faster than they fire it; and Gravitic Drive, which bestows a healthy burst of speed to your Shuttles. The latter is perhaps most important, as speed-upgraded Shuttles ferrying Reavers into battle make for a mighty combination indeed.
