Starcraft Buildings – Barracks

Barracks

The Barracks (Rax for short) is the infantry production building for Terran; allowing them to Marines, Marauders, Reapers and Ghosts. It is commonly used as part of a Terran wall-in and can be lifted off the ground and landed elsewhere after it has been constructed.

Usage

In mech-based play, a Barracks will often be lifted to serve as a heavily armored scout or to spot for Siege Tanks. In bio-based play, this role will often be served by a Factory, as it is less important for production.

TERRANS – THE FEDERAL MARINE CORPS.

PRIDE. STRENGTH. DISCIPLINE

Outcasts, lawbreakers and rebels were once sent from Earth to establish the human colony outside the solar system. Left to their own devices, a tight military organization gave them the adaptability and flexibility they needed to survive in the far reaches of the galaxy. Far away from their homeland, a multitude of more or less independent colonies gradually developed.

The nomadic-looking people owe their assertiveness, among other things, to the ability to build their tactical outposts quickly and effectively in the contested area. A special achievement of the Terrans is the ability to land finished buildings from a greater distance in more distant areas.
