Infested command center

"What the hell did they do to that Command Center?"

Infested Terran Command Centers are Zerg buildings in the game StarCraft by Blizzard Entertainment. These structures are very unique and hard to get, since they cannot be built using Drones. To get one of these, a Zerg Queen must enter a highly damaged Terran Command Center (750 or less hit points) and, after a few seconds, she will come out unharmed while the Terran Command center gets infested (this costs nothing). The Infested Command Center looks like a Command Center with a big, beating heart in the middle and blood vessels ensnaring it.

After a player gets an Infested Command Center, it is highly recommended that he/she uses the "lift off" ability, which enables the building to fly, and takes it to a safe place.

These buildings are very special and useful, because they produce a very powerful and new Zerg unit, the Infested Terran. They are produced sequentially the way regular Terran units are produced, rather than from Larvae.

Infested Terran Command Centers can be seen early in the StarCraft story, when Jim Raynor destroys one in the second Terran Mission. They make several appearances in later missions such as the mission in which Infested Kerrigan ordered a fuel raid on Moria and ordered her forces to infest as many command centers as possible.
