The star base was a terran building to be featured in StarCraft II. An upgrade from the starport, it was permanently flying, yet maintained the ability to create all of the terran flying units.[6]
At BlizzCon 2007 the units were Predator, dropship (not to be confused with the medivac dropship which did not exist at the time), Banshee, Nomad (Raven's predecessor) and battlecruiser.[5]
It had an ability called "Re-Arm" which granted energy to some nearby units.[5]
The star base was seen at BlizzCon 2007[1] but has since been canceled, because it was not very essential to terran gameplay and left several tech labs around the map.[7]
Its abilities also made it overpowered.[8]
