SCV

IPB Image
SCVs, short for Space Construction Vehicles, are the workhorses of the Terran force and the units you will be relying on to do all your dirty construction work. As with other worker units, SCVs are in charge of building construction and the gathering of resources

Full Terran SCV description.

Marine

IPB Image
The Marines are the basic troops of the Terran ground force, much like Zealots are for the Protoss and the Zerglings for the Zerg. Equipped with a Gauss Rifle that allows them to hit both ground and air units, the basic Marine is indeed a highly versatile unit.

Reaper

IPB Image
The most hard-core of Terran Marines who prove too volatile for Marine duty are instead trained as Reapers, the Terran answer to the need for rapid assault and mobility. Reapers are lightly-armored assault units armed with dual rapid-fire pistols.

Medic

IPB Image
The medic is an unusual unit since it is unable to fight, but it more then makes up for this weakness in its support role. The medic is able to heal Marines, Reapers, Ghosts, SCVs, and other medics for free.

Full Terran Medic description.

Ghost

IPB Image
Also returning from Starcraft: Broodwar, is the enigmatic Ghost. It retains its abilities from Broodwar including activated cloaking and the ability to call down Nuclear Strikes. The Ghost also retain their trusty Sniper Rifles, keeping to their role as stealthy killers.

Full Terran Ghost description.

Thor

IPB Image
Lumbering across the battlefield, heavily armored and armed to the teeth, is the monolithic Terran Thor. He does extreme amounts of damage to buildings and large units, while due to his slow speed and long reload time, the Thor is susceptible to fast, ranged enemies.

Banshee

IPB Image
The sleek Terran Banshee bomber is humanity's answer to the need for heavy-duty, area-of-effect bombing runs on the battlefield. Equipped with missile volleys that specially target only ground troops, the Banshee rains forth unprecedented destruction over a large area, obliterating masses of enemy ground units.

Viking

IPB Image
The Viking fighter is a relative of the Thor, being a mechanized unit but that is where the similarities end. This unit is the Starcraft form of the transformer being able to reconfigure itself from a walking robot to a flying craft.

Full Terran Viking description.

Siege Tank

IPB Image
Regarded by many as the flagship unit of the Terran side, the Siege Tank is the iconic representation of Terran firepower. Like its Starcraft: Broodwar counterpart, the Siege Tank can either travel and fight in tank mode, or it can deploy into siege mode and unlimber a devastating artillery cannon with tremendous range and horrific firepower, at the cost of being rendered immobile.

Full Terran Siege Tank description.

Drop Ship

IPB Image
The Terran Dropship, as its name suggests, functions as the Terran transport craft that ferries troops via airlift around the battlefield. Good use of the Dropship allows a player to quickly transport ground troops to the site of the battle, into the heart of the enemy supply lines, or even into a normally unreachable expansion point

Full Terran Drop Ship description.

Predator

IPB Image
Representing the next generation of Terran air superiority fighters, the Predator is the Terran answer to the fast attack Protoss Phoenix and the replacement to the Wraith fighter of Starcraft: Brood War. The Predator is only able to attack air units

Full Terran Predator description.

Nomad

IPB Image
Taking over the classic Science Vessel's duties as the explorer and reconnaissance unit is the Terran Nomad, a floating explorer craft with capabilities very similar to the classic Vessel. Still functioning as the detector unit, the Nomad will be found leading Terran ground forces in spotting enemy stealth ambushes and engaging infiltrated forces.

Full Terran Nomad description.

Battle Cruiser

IPB Image
As the pride of the Terran fleet, Battle Cruisers inspire fear and awe with their sheer bulk, armor, and heavy firepower. Acting as the heavy aerial assault units for the Terran, Battle Cruisers make a return from Starcraft: Broodwar to continue their domination of the skies. The Battle Cruiser is expectedly slow and cumbersome, but it more than makes up for that weakness with fearsome weaponry and staying power.

Full Terran Battle Cruiser description.

Firebat

IPB Image
Along with the other Terran infantry seen in Starcraft 2, the Firebat is once again in the Starcraft Universe. This unit, while having a small range, can essentially be considered a melee unit. The Firebat approaches its enemy and releases a short burst of flame upon them. The key to the Firebat’s flame is that it affects multiple units.

Full Terran Firebat description.

Former Starcraft 2 Units

IPB Image
Here are units that were in Starcraft 2, but that were removed by Blizzard since they did not fit. It is possible that some of these units maybe re-added to Starcraft 2 in the future.

Cobra

IPB ImageThe Cobra was another new unit to the Terran arsenal, however, for now Blizzard has removed it from the units added to Starcraft 2. This unit was similar to the Vulture bike as it was a fast moving hover vehicle. One of its special abilities was being able to fire while moving. This made it the perfect unit to raid an enemy economy. Unlike the Vulture bike, however, the Cobra was able to hit both land and air units.
