The starport is an advanced terran structure, responsible for the construction and maintenance of all space-faring vehicles and starships. A Control Tower may be attached to coordinate the upgrading and construction of advanced vessels.[1]

Starports can function both terrestrially[2] and as space stations.[3]

The starport can add a control tower to itself, giving it the ability to produce advanced starships (dropships, science vessels, battlecruiser and in Brood War, Valkyries). The control tower also researches abilities and upgrades for the Wraith.
