Light infantry are lightly armed and armored terran troops specialized in defending installations. They were to be introduced in StarCraft: Ghost.

StarCraft: GhostEdit

Light infantry wear light armor which offers less protection than CMC Powered Combat Suits.^[1]

They were the basic terran unit in the Invasion Mode. They could "upgrade" into more powerful units such as the marine (two points), firebat (three points) or ghost (five points).^[2]

EquipmentEdit

Light infantry armament can range from the Torrent SR-8 shotgun^[3][1] for close-quarters to submachine guns^[3] and/or gauss rifles.^[1] They may be issued with additional munitions depending on mission, for example, BE3 sticky grenades for Mobile Conflict missions.^[3]

Light infantry wear CMC Light Combat Armor.^[4]

Light infantry are also technically proficient.

They can build automated chain guns. These automated weapons are short-ranged and are more powerful than the shotguns they normally carry.^[3] They can be attached to vehicles as well.^[5]

They also have the ability to build and service armored flak gun turrets, which can be placed either in an installation or on a battlefield; the flak guns are long-ranged weapons.^[3]

Light infantry can only put one turret on the map, at least in Invasion Mode.^[6]

Light infantry can build stationary^[7] decloaking devices.^[1][3]

Known Light InfantryEdit

• Turfa Dei
• Cole Hickson
• Nuura Joss

NotesEdit

Light infantry may have been seen manning vulture hover bikes in the battle at Artika.^[8]
