Black Hole is a skill available to the Protoss Mothership that creates a vortex at a target location that pulls nearby enemy air units in and destroys them from the battlefield. Those who were unlucky enough to be trapped in the gravity of a Black Hole could only wait for their eventual death. This is a powerful skill that is capable of destroying an entire enemy air fleet.

[edit] Development

Black Hole was demonstrated during the original Protoss gameplay trailer but was considered too powerful to remain in the open multiplayer. It was confirmed to have been removed from the Mothership during the Blizzcon '07 build, however there is always the possibility of it appearing during the single player campaigns. It may also be available to the hero Mothership.

As with all units and skills that were dropped during the development of StarCraft II, the Black Hole should be available in the map editor.
