75 Energy

Notes

Reduces the hit points of biological units near the targeted unit (and the targeted unit itself if it is biological) by 250 over 30 seconds. Mechanical units are immune, but biological units passing near an irradiated mechanical unit will still be affected.

Notes

The science facility can add a physics lab to itself, enabling production of battlecruisers and researching abilities and upgrades for them. This prevents the science facility from building a covert ops.

Notes

The science facility can add a covert ops facility to itself, enabling production of ghosts and researching abilities and upgrades for them. This prevents the science facility from building a physics lab.

Lift Off
Notes

This structure can lift off, enabling it to fly. It cannot produce units or conduct research while in flight, and must leave add-ons behind.
