Orbital Command

The Orbital Command Opening is a simple yet effective opening that can transition into nearly any other Terran build. This build focuses on getting a quick Orbital Command in order to start producing MULE’s to boost economy. It is considered the most standard opening build in almost all Terran games and knowledge of the build is crucial to all Terran players.

10 Supply Depot
11 Barracks
13 Gas
14 Marine
15 Orbital Command Upgrade
16 Supply Depot

What do these numbers mean?

Most players scout with their SCV after completing the Barracks, but scouting early on small maps may be more beneficial.

Almost all build orders are a rough estimation and can usually be adapted depending on your enemy’s actions. ALWAYS scout your opponent and adjust your build accordingly.
