StarCraft 2
The Science Facility has been removed from the game in StarCraft 2. Its functions have been split up between several new buildings. The Fusion Core now unlocks Battlecruisers and researches upgrades for the Raven (the most similar unit to the Science Vessel). The Ghost Academy now unlocks Ghosts and researches their abilities and upgrades.
