Game Unit[]
Light infantry in StarCraft: Ghost
Light infantry were to be introduced in StarCraft: Ghost. They wore light armor, which offered less protection than CMC Powered Combat Suits.[2] They were armed with handguns in early builds.[3]
They were the basic terran unit in the Invasion Mode. They could upgrade into more powerful units such as the marine (two points), firebat (three points) or ghost (five points).[4]
Equipment[]
Light infantry armament could range from the Torrent SR-8 shotgun[5][2] for close-quarters to submachine guns[5] and/or gauss rifles.[2] They may be issued with additional munitions depending on mission, for example, BE3 sticky grenades for Mobile Conflict missions.[5]
They could build automated chain guns. These automated weapons were short-ranged and were more powerful than the shotguns they normally carry.[5] They could be attached to vehicles as well.[6]
They also had the ability to build and service armored flak gun turrets, which could be placed either in an installation or on a battlefield; the flak guns were long-ranged weapons.[5]

Light infantry could only put one turret on the map, at least in Invasion Mode.[7]
Light infantry could build stationary[8] decloaking devices.[2][5]
Known Light Infantry[]

Notes[]
- Concept art for Ghost indicates that light infantry may have been sub-divided into light infantry, heavy infantry, and elite infantry.[10]
- Concept art for StarCraft II exists that may depict light infantry and/or troopers.[11]
