|-
| align="center"| '''''Lunar'''''[[File:LunarM3.png|150px|thumb|center|Lunar m3]] || Реголит || This is a light, unarmored vehicle used for reconnaissance. Being equipped with light weapon systems, it's not too good in combat situations. But its power shield generator and easy maneuverability make it a fantastic escort vehicle. Cheapest LC unit, and the only one capable of mounting 1500 PSU shield (at second upgrade) out of every starting units in [[Earth2150|Earth 2150]]. It is most often used for early rush at enemy base because of its fast production time, low cost and high movement speed. Later upgraded ''Lunar m3'' can be used as mobile anti-air unit.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Moon'''''[[File:MoonM3.png|150px|thumb|center|Moon m3]] || Орион || Decent armor combined with the possibility of mounting strongest shields makes the Moon a powerful combat unit at a good price. This unit is the core of LC troops in the fight against enemy focused on energy weapons. It's good to keep in mind that the last ''Moon'' upgrade beside enabling the access to the highest tier shields, it decreases this unit cost by 50 CR. This may seem as a small amount of savings but every 6th troop produced you get like one for free.
|-
| align="center"| '''''New Hope'''''[[File:NewHope.png|150px|thumb|center|New Hope]] || Новая Надежда || This light reconnaissance vehicle was based on the Fang unit, the pride of the LC. The New Hope isn't quite as powerful as its predecessor, but it has still managed to prove its value in some tight spots. Its ability to repair itself is particularly impressive ('''it regenerates 3 hp every tick'''). Even after suffering extreme damage to its '''epoxy armor''', New Hope needs only a few seconds to become fully battle-ready again. This unique feature is the result of a complex fiberglass pressing and hardening system. However, the unit has one fairly large disadvantage: there is no facility for mounting shields stronger than 1000 PSU. New Hope is a support unit. Used wisely, it can have a decisive effect on your entire offensive. But you'll need to develop an elastic strike-and-retreat strategy.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Fat Girl'''''[[File:FatgM3.png|150px|thumb|center|Fat Girl]] || Толстушка || This is a mobile container, driven by a strong fragmentation motor which has been adapted from that previously used only be orbiting stations. The maximum lifting capacity is 3600 tons. Maximum speed is 18 km/h. Thanks to her strong engine, '''you can mount up to 4 light guns''' of any type. This makes Fat Girl an unbelievably effective frontline unit. Though its production time summed with every weapon mounted on results in a very long waiting span. That's why it is recommended to mount '''machine guns''' on instead of other, more sophisticated (like rockets and electro cannons) weapons which would significantly increase production time. (Of course, this does not apply if you have unlimited time to prepare your units and enemy will surely wait for you to catch up)
|-
| align="center"| '''''Crater'''''[[File:CraterM3.png|150px|thumb|center|Crater m3]] || Фотон || When designing this vehicle, the LC engineers sacrificed speed for power, and equipped it with '''heavy armor''' and a power shield generator. The decision made Crater the most resistant of all LC units. And it's been '''adapted to carry high-caliber weapons''' that should guarantee its success in the heat of battle. Even if this is the most armored and sustaining troop amongst Lunar Corporation vehicles, it's still the weakest in comparison with the other factions heavy armored units.
|-
| align="center"| '''''[[Crusher (Lunar Corporation vehicle)|Crusher]]'''''[[File:CrusherM3.png|150px|thumb|center|Crusher m3]] || Пульсар || This typical attack vehicle is designed to inflict huge losses on the enemy in a very short period of time. The engineers have made it '''possible to attach two heavy weapon systems'''. Crusher is unable to spend a long time under direct fire. It need to be protected with an escort of other units, taking enemy fire at themselves.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Crion'''''[[File:Crion.png|150px|thumb|center|Crion]] || Крион || Mobile artillery unit. It usually carries '''long range plasma cannon''' that launches dense projectile which ignores target power shields. Very long range of this unit is paid for by a '''very slow movement speed and lack of any armor'''. It's better to keep Crions out of enemy weapon range. It can have mounted plasma artillery cannon or Anti-air rocket launcher.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Meteor'''''[[File:MeteorM3.png|150px|thumb|center|Meteor m3]] || Болид || This light fighter is the first model equipped with a modified anti-gravity generator capable of rising to any altitude. It's used for reconnaissance operations and to repel enemy bombers. Due to the engine's high energy consumption, the Meteor is not equipped with magnetic shields. For purposes of attack, it comes equipped with a machine gun or light rockets. The last upgrade has shortened research time and enables mounting 1000 PSU shields on this unit, which may become helpful in the fight against UCS plasma anti-air defences.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Super Fighter'''''[[File:SupfighM2.png|150px|thumb|center|Super fighter m2]] || Истребитель || The LC builders made it their goal to fill the gap between the fast and maneuverable, but thinly armored Meteor and the heavily armored, but very slow Thunder. The result is the Super Fighter. Equipped with '''a rocket flak system''', this is an ideal weapon against enemy aircraft.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Thunderer'''''[[File:ThunderM2.png|150px|thumb|center|Thunderer m2]] || Альтаир || Here's a huge, very slow, anti-gravity craft equipped with heavy armor. The modified engines allow it to fly at any altitude, so it can reach into the heart of an enemy base. '''Heavy rockets and heavy sonic cannon''' make it the ideal unit for air raids against enemy troop concentrations.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Phobos'''''[[File:Phobos.png|150px|thumb|center|Phobos]] || Фобос || Typically scout unit. Instead of radar detecting enemy units it can carry shield recharger or regenerator (since LC units doesn't need a repairer) that boosts recovery time. Having this unit around your troops becomes vital when enemy reaches for any kind of '''cloaking tech'''.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Mercury'''''[[File:Mercury_u.png|150px|thumb|center|Mercury]] || Меркурий || Air supply unit. The most expensive unit in the LC assortment. Nevertheless it's quick and durable so it should be able to '''deliver ammunition''' to a unit in need and then come back safe and sound.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Unit Transporter'''''[[File:Transporrt.png|150px|thumb|center|Unit Transporter]] || Транспортер || This light transport unit uses an anti-gravitation propulsion system. Its main task is to provide aerial evacuation of threatened and/or damaged units from the battlefield. Second usage for this troop-carrier can be '''smuggling units behind enemy lines'''.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Tunel Gouger'''''[[File:Earth2150_TunnelG.png|150px|thumb|center|Tunel Gouger]] || Вход в туннель || Their enemy's ability to attack through tunnel systems, and the strategic advantage this brings, has long been a source of frustration for the LC leadership. So they ordered industrial plants all over the Moon to begin R&D work on a new generation excavation unit. Of the three prototypes delivered, the "Xeno Irid" model from Adams & Novok lci. got the go-ahead for mass production. A series of tests proved the unit's worth as an all-terrain vehicle as well. Plus, the unit is extremely '''durable''' - the pendulum engine can remain in operation for 120 years, while the ceramicplastic outer frame is designed to last at least 250 years. Whenever you need to '''equalize the ditches or dig a tunnel''' this unit is an answer. Attention - the gouger unlike other LC units '''can't hover over water'''.

Line 150:
Weapon especially associated with LC. after few shots turning off the unit. Electro-cannon has relatively high damage (armor piercing as every energy gun) and ability of cutting off the power hence it is often used as a main LC weapon.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Heavy Electro Cannon'''''[[File:Earth2150 LC hE.png|150px|thumb|center|Heavy Electro-Cannon upg.1]]|| Heavier version of electro-cannon provides longer range and higher power. Besides it works identically. Moreover it allows to mount a lighter weapon at the top of it.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Sonic Cannon'''''[[File:Earth2150 LC S.png|150px|thumb|center|Sonic Cannon upg.1]] || One of the best examples of how LC has adapted existing technologies to military needs. The MSH 12 sonic hammer used on the Moon to break down huge rocks in the mines was converted into one of the Lunar Corporation's best weapons. A sonic cannon operates on the microwave generator principle. Resonance wave oscillations that occur withing range increase the target vehicles' temperature, leading to complete destruction. But the sonic cannon won't inflict any damage on the LC's own vehicles and structures, since these have special protective materials. Sonic and laser cannons are based on the same principle, though there is one major difference. With a sonic cannon, you can heat-blast ALL enemy vehicles withing the blast's range, not just the one at the time. And you can do this without damaging your own vehicles.
In brief: It releases a pulse which causes damage around the unit ignoring ally objects. The closer the target is to the blast, the more damage it will take.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Heavy Sonic Cannon'''''[[File:Earth2150 LC hS.png|150px|thumb|center|Heavy Sonic Cannon upg.1]] || Increased radius of destruction, damage and ammo capacity in comparison to the lighter version. Crucial thing is to remember that '''ANY thing mounted in the second slot (intended for light weapons) will not work, except the ''Banner'' and ''Building Grabber''''' (even if the game allows to do that). So do not delude yourself. Even small sonic cannon won't add any bonus damage, even if an interface shows improved stats. Same of course happens to the rockets and anti-rockets.
|-
| align="center"| '''''Air Sonic Cannon'''''[[File:Earth2150 LC aS.png|150px|thumb|center|Heavy Sonic Cannon upg.1]] || Strongest and most efficient out of all sonic weapons. Air units have access to discharge sonic pulse directly above target unit exposing it to the highest burst from this cannon. Only Thunderer can be equipped with this weapon.

|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Laser Wall'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Laser.png|150px|thumb|center|Laser Wall]] || LC isn't capable of creating typical walls as other factions. Laser Wall nodes are only way of barricading a way. The maximum distance between nodes that can be connected to each other is 5 squares. Every node can be linked to two others. Laser Wall is a great method for fighting laser weapons since they are weak against structures. Heavy armor also helps in protecting grounds behind this fence. The bonus knowledge is that laser wall can burn trees on his way (unfortunately it can't do the same to enemy walls).
|-

Any object developed and tested in the Research Center can also be built here. The Base is thickly armored and has cannons to fend off attacks by lightly armed enemy units. You must protect this structure well. If you lose it, and your heavy construction and military vehicle reserves run out, the battle is over.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Solar Power Plant'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_SolarP.png|150px|thumb|center|Solar Power Plant]] || The LC Solar Power Plant is a technologically advanced structure consisting of a generator and several ergonomically designed and very powerful solar batteries. The plant has a high performance transmitter, capable of providing energy to distant structures. Extra energy is sent to batteries for storage. These batteries run the base during daytime hours. The plant's capacity is based on the intensity of the sun's rays. At night the reflective plates fold up and wait for sunrise.

For this at least one solar cell is needed. This building can be built only by clicking on the "Add Battery" button (or '''B''' on a keyboard) when Solar Power Plant is selected. One power plant may have up to 10 Solar Cells producing '''100 energy''' per cell. This building falls off much faster then other LC structures.

|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Xyrex Power Plant'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Xyrex.png|150px|thumb|center|Xyrex Power Plant]] || While developing the fission power plant, the LC scientists used a method of energy creation far different from that used in traditional power plants. They placed underground electrodes, which short circuit when they come into contact with xyrex. The electrode is then pulled back a certain distance, generating energy. To reach the output of a typical atomic power plant, over 2000 electrodes are needed. One of the technologies biggest drawbacks is the short lifespan of an electrode and the subsequent need to constantly replace them. Single Xyrex Power Plant produces constantly '''400 energy'''.

|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Battery'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Battery.png|150px|thumb|center|Battery]] || This is a battery with huge capacity. Its only task is to store excess energy during the day for use at night. It has a high power transmitter, which can supply energy to structures many kilometers away. If it's destroyed, parts of your base could lose power completely, ruining all your defensive plans.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Research Center'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_ResearchC.png|150px|thumb|center|LC Research Center]] || This is where your extremely inventive LC scientists and engineers are based. R&D tasks for all new technologies are carried out here. Every unit or structure upgrade has to be developed and tested here and prototypes of new units are planned, constructed, and then given the go-ahead for mass production. Without this structure you will lose access to the latest technology and probably the war as well. Two or three Research Centers will speed up the R&D process. Second instance of a center gives you about ''-15%'' bonus research time and the third ''-30%'' (of the original). '''More than three won't bring you any benefit''' and are therefore a waste of your precious resources.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Headquarters'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Head.png|150px|thumb|center|LC Headquarters]] || This is the LC strategic command and control center. This structure opens the door to automated management of research, unit designs, weapons installation and building defense with the use of special defense platoons. There is no need of using Headquarters if you manage with everything without any problem.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Mine'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Mine.png|150px|thumb|center|LC Mine]] || For obvious reasons, this high-tech structure should be built very close to ore deposits. LC mines are capable of extracting and processing ore simultaneously. In other words it's a mine and a refinery in one. If you lose it you'll be unable to supply raw material to your military and civilian infrastructure.

|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Upgraded Mine'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_UpgMINE.png|150px|thumb|center|LC Upg. Mine]] || This structure extracts slightly more credits (about '''10%''') per minute than non upgraded version. Moreover it has '''1000''' more hit points and provides '''banner''' experience buff for nearby units (see [[#Level benefits|Level benefits]]). Available only in patch 2.2 for The Moon Project and Lost Souls.

|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Aerial Supply Center'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Supply.png|150px|thumb|center|LC Supply Center]] || An Aerial Supply Depot is a supply center. Suppliers use this as a base for delivering ammunition for heavy weapons to units and structures. Usually replenishing ammunition spends money, so you need to have it in your account. You may change frequency of deliveries (or rather how many troops a single supply unit is to handle) with a button when this building is selected. So the slower the reaction time, the more vehicles the ammunition transporter can supply.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Nest'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Nest.png|150px|thumb|center|Nest]] || This light defense building is made of hardened plastic and steel plates and is ideal for all types of terrain. Nest comes equipped with a launching ramp. It is usually used for base dropping near enemy structures as a support for ground units during an assault. Available only in The Moon Project and Lost Souls.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Defender'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Defender.png|150px|thumb|center|Defender]] || Single Defender structures are too weak to defend themselves against enemy attacks. But there's strength in numbers. If you set them up in groups, one next to the other, they can ward off attacks by lightweight planes and other weakly armored units. If you place them in large unexplored territory, they act as a good early warning system. This building falls off much faster then other LC structures.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Guardian'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Guardian.png|150px|thumb|center|Guardian]] || The Guardian is the most heavily armoredarmoured structure out of LC constructions. The double-ringed defense tower is fortified with two heavy cannons, making it indestructible for all but the most heavily armed attack units. Since the tower packs a serious punch, it can usually repulse attacks quickly and successfully. Only concentrated attacks by well-equipped enemy units pose any danger. Because of its strength, you should set up the tower near the Main Base or other strategically vital structures. This building falls off much faster then other LC structures.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Artillery'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Art.png|150px|thumb|center|LC Artillery]] || The LC artillery piece is without question the most significant achievement of the lunar builders. This masterpiece of military science has an extremely long range, which means it can hit enemy targets without being endangered by return fire. To get this distance the calibercalibre was reduced to 122mm and ceramic-cased ammunition is used. A target scope that combines a satellite positioning system with a laser-guided terrain modeler has raised hit rates to 90%. Replenishing ammo of this structure is '''expensive''' so you have to bear this in mind to know how many shots from this cannon you can afford. Don't suggest with its damage shown in a stats, because a missile fired from this gun is "piercing armour" (kind of). This building is counted as an unit so '''putting a banner nearby increases its stats'''.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Weather Control Center'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Weather.png|150px|thumb|center|WCC]] || This is the LC's answer to the usual weapons of mass destruction (like nuclear and plasma weapons). The WCC is capable of radically altering weather conditions. It can start a long rain shower, suddenly send the temperature soaring, or unleash a thunder storm. In other words, the LC has managed to turn weather into a weapon. Use Rain to flood low-lying enemy territory - destroying all units and structures in the process. Use lightning to take out those at higher elevations. As the game progresses, it will get more and more difficult to summon the forces of nature. The closer the Earth gets to the Sun the drier the planet becomes - until rainfall is a precious commodity. Nevertheless, the Weather Control Center does not completely lose its usefulness. It can take over the control of meteorite showers and redirect them toward enemy units and structures. This structure is powered by electricity. Right after you've built it, the WCC will start loading up its batteries. Once they're full, the structure is ready for action.

|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Meteor Control Center'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_MeteorC.png|150px|thumb|center|MCC]] || It is the equivalent of weapons of mass destruction owned by other factions, cheaper but much weaker. Meteor Control Center can have up to 2 Meteor Launchers. Every has separate charging time after which it is able to send a missile to the pointed location. Available only in patch 2.2
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Meteor Launcher'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_MeteorL.png|150px|thumb|center|Meteor Launcher]] || Meteor launched by this structure deals about '''700 damage'''. This is enough to destroy a small group of light units. In order to get rid of enemy buildings you will need something else. This building is counted as an unit so '''putting a banner nearby increases its stats''' too.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''SDI Defense Center'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Sdi.png|150px|thumb|center|LC SDI]] || This is another structure you must have as the game advances. Its purpose is to defend your positions against attacks by weapons of mass destruction. If a nuclear missile is shot in your direction, special detectors designed specifically for this purpose will track the missile's flight path and unleash three high-powered laser shots at just the right moment. The incoming missile explodes in the air without damaging your units or structures. The only drawback to this system is that the detectors have a somewhat limited range. That's why you should set up your SDI Defense Centers at equal distances from one another - ideally close to strategically vital structures (i.e. those without which you cannot properly continue the war). Despite every faction has access to this technology, LC's SDI is '''the only working''' one in TMP [[2.2|patch 2.2]]. It has '''3 ammo''' and noticeable reload time, so there is a gap when enemy missile can come through.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Recycler'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Rec.png|150px|thumb|center|LC Recycler]] || Life on the barren Moon has given the Lunar Corporation unique experience in the field of reusable resources. Before the war this was mainly focused on recycling plastic and glass - the two mainstays of lunar construction. Recycling steel posed some tricky problems at first, particularly since metal objects were seldom found on the Moon in pre-war days. This is why the efficiency of unit recycling is still relatively low at about '''50%''' of the unit's previous value. This is one of the cheapest LC structures so it can be used for fence off the enemy.
|-
|style="text-align: center;"| '''''Tunnel Entrance'''''[[File:Earth2150_LC_Tunnel.png|150px|thumb|center|LC Tunnel Entrance]] || This structure connects the surface with the tunnel itself. It has its own generator, so it doesn't need a Power Plant. This is the only LC building that creates '''creates a cell underground'''. It may be used for quick digging tunnels (in combination with self-destruction)
