Starcraft Buildings – Barracks

Barracks

The Barracks (Rax for short) is the infantry production building for Terran; allowing them to build 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 first 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.
