Starcraft Units – Raven

Raven

The Raven is a versatile workhorse, designed to combine the functions of a small production facility and observation post. The Raven’s rugged and ability to fly allows it to operate in the harshest of climates, making it a common sight in Rim colonies. While the Raven shares much in common with its little brother, the SCF, it is a far more specialized and advanced construction vehicle.

The Raven’s intended use ranges from patrolling the outer fringes of a colony to protecting against dangerous native life forms or climate-related anomalies. Its technical equipment includes an impressive number of highly sensitive sensors, with the help of which even cloaked or burrowed units can be detected. Using two rear-mounted Nano-Welders, the Raven is also capable of constructing a series of small, temporary defenses to deal with a wide variety of threats at short notice.

The Raven has a number of standard builds available, with the automatic turret being popular. With this simple, fully automated weapons platform, smaller, hostile organisms can be easily repelled for long periods of time.

Originally, the Terran only used rave in their most remote outposts to provide a minimum of security and defenses there. Often these units were manned by local civilians, similar to volunteer fire brigades or medical centers. However, due to its military support capabilities, the Raven has also seen increasing use in active conflict zones, gradually replacing the older and much more expensive research vessels.

TERRAN

General Information

The Terrans can neither boast impressive technologies nor unbeatable masses, they seem to be the least dangerous race in the universe. However, this is also their strength, often underestimated by the enemy, they can attack from ambush and thus take advantage of the surprise effect. The Terran forces are often formed from prisoners who want to shorten their sentence. These fighters, assigned to the infantry, are often poorly trained, but have an iron will to fight. Smaller war machines, such as the infamous tanks, are often used to support the foot troops.

The Terrans’ greatest enemy seems to be the Terrans themselves: Shattered by internal conflicts and wars, the Terrans have never been able to form a cohesive army to reach their full potential.
