The star base in StarCraft

The star base was present in early versions of StarCraft. Unlike its sequel's incarnation, it was not mobile.[2]
Datamining indicates that it was scenario-specific.[3]

As of version 1.16.1, the image still exist in StarDat.mpq as unit/neutral/starbase.grp, but it is connected to no image, sprite, doodad or unit entry.

StarCraft II[]

The following article contains information about a StarCraft II unit or structure that was canceled.

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]
