Blizzard revealed official information about Terran unit - Battlecruiser.
Battlecruiser
Builds From: Starport
Armament: Laser Batteries, Yamato Cannon, Plasma Torpedoes
Role: Capital Ship
“Research has led to the development of two alternative weapon upgrades that can be retrofitted into a battlecruiser hull to supplement its already formidable armament.The Yamato cannon is a terrifying weapon that uses an intense magnetic field to focus a nuclear detonation into a cohesive beam of energy. The cannon requires a huge reserve of energy to fire, but its effects on the target are impressive, to say the least. Plasma torpedoes give battlecruisers an armament capable of saturating a target area with a lethal deluge of fire, ideal for breaking up oncoming attack waves or ravaging a defensive position. As with the Yamato cannon, a battlecruiser needs to build up a sufficient reserve of energy to unleash a plasma torpedo bombardment.” [StarCraft2.com]
New parts ( 14 and15 ) questions and answers were added at battle.net forum. Read my compilation all parts or battle.net forum - batch 14 and batch 15.

Protoss Dark Templar:
Builds From : Gateway
Armament : Modified Warp Blade
Role : Stealth Infiltrator
“The dark templar are most renowned for their ability to bend light around their bodies to become invisible at will, and a true master of the Void can achieve much greater feats than this. Armed with their potent warp blades, the dark templar are deadly and relentless foes, capable of crippling conventional forces with their devastating strikes.” [read more …]
Terran AH/G-24 Banshee
Builds From: Starport
Armament: Backlash Cluster Rockets
Role: Tactical Strike Aircraft
” As a planetary craft, the banshee wouldn’t need high-powered engines to achieve escape velocity and fight in orbit, so instead technicians fitted it with economical twin turbofans. Any air-to-air weaponry was deemed unnecessary: the banshee would only hunt ground targets. Thus, it was equipped with powerful air-to-ground cluster rockets.” [read more …]
Also new wallpaper was added - NUKE.
