 | Initially used during the reconstruction of the old Confederacy’s Tarsonian orbital platforms, the T-280 SCV is a staple of construction and repair across the Dominion. The SCV is the workhorse of the Terran planets due to its ability to perform a multitude of tasks, including constructing new buildings, repairing damaged structures and units, and harvesting and transporting raw resource materials. This versatility and unmatched reliability make the SCV an invaluable tool in rapidly establishing Marine encampments on any terrain. |

Field Manual
-
Light unit used to construct buildings, gather resources, and perform repairs. They can only attack ground targets.
-
Take a few of these to support your mechanical units in battle.
-
They are hardly suited for combat but, backed up with a pair of Marines, you can use them to survive a rush.
-
SCVs are the most resilient worker unit when compared to the other two races. They can also repair themselves.
-
Build lots of SCVs to collect minerals at a faster rate.
-
Never assign more than three of them to a single Refinery.
-
If you find an enemy SCV building something close to your base, attack it instead of the structure.
-
Use workers to scout; they’re cheap and fast and don’t tip your hand.
