The Terran Dominion - Units and Structures
Refinery
The Terran Refinery must be constructed over a Vespene Gas geyser. It serves to package the valuable substance into containers your SCVs may readily bring it back to your Command Center. Vespene Gas is required to build all advanced Terran facilities as well as many Terran units. Since only one SCV may be present within a Refinery at any one time, with proper Command Center placement, you'll need no more than four of them to bring in a steady supply of gas. Do not build a Refinery until you've already constructed a Barracks and trained a few Marines.

Barracks
The Barracks is a mobile structure where all Terran infantry units are trained. This must be one of the first buildings you erect early in a battle, as it will provide you with Marines who will defend your territory early on. Marines and Firebats work best in large groups, and for that reason, you will want to construct more than one Barracks as soon as resources permit. Producing great numbers of infantry at once also means you can fill your defensive Bunkers quickly.

Academy
You need this structure before you can attach a Comsat Station to your Command Center. Otherwise, this structure lets you train Firebats at your Barracks as well as research two useful upgrades for your infantry. U-238 Shells increase the range of your Marines' Gauss Rifles, while Stim Packs offer Marines and Firebats a temporary twofold increase in speed and rate of fire at the cost of ten hit points. The Academy is an expensive structure, but you should try to build one as soon as possible - especially against the Zerg and Protoss, whose Zerglings and Zealots are vulnerable to Firebats.
