The site did not give additional details about the new Terran unit, except that it would be from the Starport. Hence, the unit could be "just about anything."
Still, the patch developers said:
"In general, we believe that armies made from the Factory or Starport will be more capable as independent compositions in Legacy of the Void. Players will be able to commit to a tech-path specifically, and so we are also interested in splitting out the mech and air upgrades again. We believe that bringing back this choice is a potential improvement for the game."
