Raven

Raven is a starcraft-2 terran unit
The Raven is the Terran StarCraft 2 replacement for the Science Vessel. The Raven has the ability to detect invisible units but instead of the Science Vessels abilities it has a Seeker Missile which is great vs. swarms of units, a Auto-Turret which is great for worker harassment and army support and a point defense drone which can effectively take some ranged units out of the battle by shooting down their projects while they are flying at your units. For tips on any of these strategies visit the links on the right side. The Raven is a Battlefield Support / Construction and has a unit type of Light - Mechanical.
