Stargate

 
The massive structure is used to warp in powerful Protoss aircraft. Do not waste your time even thinking about constructing the Stargate until you've established a good flow of resources from at least two bases. At first, it may only be used to warp in Scouts that build slowly, are terribly expensive, and not terribly useful without upgrades from the Cybernetics Core and Fleet Beacon. Once you establish a Fleet Beacon and an Arbiter Tribunal, you may warp in Carriers and Arbiters through your Stargate respectively.

Like the Protoss Gateway, one Stargate is never sufficient in the end; you need at least two - preferably more - producing aircraft to establish a viable flying force. If you're fighting under the pressure of a small battlefield, you would do well to skip over the Stargate altogether and concentrate on your ground forces instead, since an adequately powerful Protoss airforce demands huge sums of minerals and Vespene Gas.
