Overview
Edit
Under the Terran Confederacy, supply depots were standard for military bases and possessed a universal design.[2] This design was that of a low, one-story, metal-clad structure, a spacious waiting area and a counter separating said area from the storage racks on the other side.[3] Such storage includes weapons, ammunition and even SCVs.[4]
During the Second Great War, through research of protoss artifacts, Doctor Egon Stetmann gained insight into protoss architecture and was able to develop orbital depots—supply depots capable of being dropped from the Hyperion and surviving entry through a world's atmosphere to a point designated by a SCV-planted beacon.[5]

The supply depot is by far one of the most important buildings in the terran tech tree. Similarly to the pylon (protoss) or the overlord (zerg), it provides "supply points" which allow for the construction of new units. Unlike overlords and pylons, however, it does not have any additional abilities.

In addition to providing supply in StarCraft II, the depot gains the ability to lower and rise from the ground. When lowered ground units may pass over it. Unlike the Perdition turret, it is not considered burrowed or hidden when lowered.

| Notes | |||||||
|
Lowers the structure into the ground so ground units may pass over it. The structure may be raised back to block pathing. Friendly units standing on the structure are pushed the nearest edge when the structure is raised. Enemy units standing on top prevent the structure from being raised. The structure's attributes, other than blocking movement, are not changed when it is lowered. | |||||||

The orbital command can target a supply depot to permanently grant it an extra 8 supply. The modified supply depots look different, but are still capable of raising and lowering themselves. This ability is disabled during campaign play. | |||||||
