Thus the 5-4 Armored Infantry Suit was developed from the modified firebay armor, creating the marauder. The new generation of CMC-600 suits, the armor firebats wore, began to be refitted to fire rockets and machinery to automatically generate shells. However, while effective against light zerglings terrans lacked a way to pierce the tough shells harder zerg broods, only growing harder with the introduction of creatures like roaches. So let's explore that:įirebat: The firebat was a staple of terran infantry formations all through the Great War and Brood War. Note that this doesn't necessarily reflect their roles in the game, nor how effective these units are compared to what replace them gameplaywise. While most of these units return in the campaign, they've all been given lore explanations to some extent or another as to why they fell out of favor in the eyes of their respective factions. Also people seem to like it when the focus is relevant to multiplayer, so this week we're going to to focus on what happened to the units that were lost between SC1 and SC2 in multiplayer. So for the next month or so I'm going to focus on some lore aspects of SC1 for nostalgic fans, and maybe do aspects of how the story progressed from SC1.
