A stasis cell is a protoss device used to keep people in suspended animation. They could be used for general storage (ex. hybrids),^[1] medical storage (ex. Taldarin and Eredas),^[2][3] or even for incarcerating individuals (ex. Tassadar and Mojo).^[4][5] They are considered holy by the protoss.^[6]

Precise control is required for cells to function optimally. In the case of cells supported by khaydarin crystal-based pylons it was more difficult for terrans to keep cells stable.^[1]

Although an object generally emerged in the same physical condition as when it was inserted the conditions inside the cell might not be perfectly static, especially in cases of imperfect control. Creatures trapped within might emit psionic energy^[1] or even communicate psionically with the outside world, as Mojo demonstrated.^[7]

Alan Schezar^[7][5] and Samir Duran^[1] both demonstrated some ability to control and use them.
