Overview
Role: Worker

The SCV (Space Construction Vehicle) is the Terran resource farmer and building constructor. It has a weak attack used for emergencies, but it will be much more effective at mining minerals or gathering Vespene Gas for the player to build stronger combat units. It also builds structures the traditional way by performing construction until the building is fully complete. If the SCV is killed or halts the process, the building will remain unoperational until another SCV completes the construction.
Abilities
Repair

The SCV is also responsible with repairing damaged mechanical units. Only Terran units can be repaired by the SCV. Repairing goes much quicker than the passive recovery of other races, but it does consume a small amount of resources. However, this ability can be set to autocast. This allows SCVs to repair anything on their own without the Player having to watch over everything. Although SCVs that are gathering resources will not automatically Repair damaged units.

Gather

Begins gathering resources and returning them to the nearest Command Center. The SCV will gather 5 Minerals at a time from a Mineral Field and 7 Minerals from a high-yield Mineral Field. If sent to harvest from a Vespene Geyser, the SCV will get 4 Vespene Gas units per trip.
Upgrades
Advanced Construction (Campaign)
Source: Hyperion Armory
Credits: 60,000

With this upgrade, Multiple SCVs can be used to construct the same structure greatly increasing build speed. A building with several SCVs can be completed in a matter of seconds.

Dual Fusion Welders (Campaign)
Source: Hyperion Armory
Credits: 80,000

SCVs will Repair twice as fast with this upgrade. This can make the difference between a unit or defensive structure that survives a fight with Repairs and one that gets destroyed.
