C&C Tiberian Sun: Re-Energized

Kane is the charismatic, absolute leader of the Brotherhood of Nod, who features prominently in all of the Tiberium Universe games, as well as in the original Red Alert game as the secretive advisor to Joseph Stalin.

Kane is viewed in equal measure by his loyalists and enemies as an extraordinarily astute and charismatic figure. Most estimates by GDI's psychoanalysts have placed his IQ around 196 at the least, well above what is formally classified as a genius, made evident not only by the Brotherhood of Nod's unanticipated rise as a new superpower in the modern world, but in its astonishing ability to go toe-to-toe with the Global Defense Initiative in high-tech warfare. GDI characterizes Kane as "a brilliant and charismatic sociopath, obsessed with accelerating the worst ecological catastrophe in history", and declines to make any official comments on the mystery of his seeming agelessness.

Kane is a master at propaganda and information warfare, evidenced when he broadcasted a news report about the alleged GDI slaughter of civilians in Białystok, Poland, as well as manipulation and control, evidenced by him managing to control Joseph Stalin's actions (while avoiding being purged). Kane's own messages may reflect his reputed charisma, speaking with a confident deep voice. Interestingly, recovered footage from a Nod propaganda studio reveals Kane speaking with an uncharacteristically softer tone.

Kane is undoubtedly ruthless, showing little regard for ethical constraints when they stood in the way of his goals and willing to sacrifice thousands or millions of people in order to succeed; but at the same time, he does not appear to be without sympathy for the plight of human suffering. He is known to have expressed seemingly genuine anger at the plight of the destitute of the slums of Rio in a non-public context.

Dr. Gabriella Boudreau is the successor to Dr. Ignatio Mobius' research into Tiberium's properties and its effects upon humanity and the Earth.

At Tratos' request, Dr. Boudreau oversaw an expeditionary force to Cairo to recover the Tacitus, Kane's other research and deliver it safely to Tratos. This was not without risk, as although GDI forces held the remnants of Kane's Cairo facility, Nod snipers harassed the team, despite the strong winds buffeting the site. Whilst Dr. Boudreau oversaw the loading of the Tacitus and all of Kane's research onto the Kodiak, she was not aboard it when it crashed during an Ion Storm in Egypt, but she watched it go down from her position at the Cairo facility.

Later, she berated General Paul Cortez, commander of GDI's Southern Cross base, and her ex-husband to boot, for allowing Tratos to be assassinated by Nod forces, setting their research back months, if not years. Furthermore, she had to deliver the news that within a year, the Earth's atmosphere would become 100 percent toxic to humans, thanks to the rate of Tiberium poisoning of organic life on Earth. In a somewhat controversial move, she suggested using CABAL to translate the Tacitus, as the Nod AI had helped Tratos translate parts of it during the Second Tiberium War. A GDI commander was despatched to capture CABAL's data core for this purpose.

With CABAL captured, and reconstructed in the Daedalus facility, the Tacitus translation began, though not before a second piece of the Tacitus was recovered from South America. With the Tacitus complete, CABAL's captured cyborgs turned on the GDI forces at the facility, forcing Dr. Boudreau to flee for her life.

Following her rescue, Dr. Boudreau gave a brief lecture on the tactics CABAL employed to gain more 'recruits' for his army, and informed the GDI Commander that her team had successfully implanted a virus in one of the cyborgs (Huey), with the intention of getting him into CABAL's production facility to disrupt the expansion of CABAL's army, and give the GDI-Nod alliance a chance to destroy CABAL's core.

General James Solomon is an American army officer who is the Chief Commander of the Global Defense Initiative during the Second Tiberium War. He was a noted field commander in the First Tiberium War and was the player character in the original Command & Conquer.

Solomon during the Second Tiberium War

He continued to serve in GDI and eventually became its supreme commander, stationed aboard the GDSS Philadelphia. In order to avoid another war, he installed Nod general Hassan in Cairo, who rallied the fractured Nod forces, feeding them propaganda, but keeping them pacified. When Anton Slavik drew attention to himself as he and the Black Hand actively fought GDI forces, Solomon ordered his immediate capture and execution. When Slavik was freed by Oxanna Kristos and escaped, the distraught Hassan sought help from Solomon, who calmly informed him that if Slavik gains power, the so-called Pharaoh will become useless to GDI, effectively stating that no help will be given.

When the reunited Nod launched a series of attacks against GDI forces worldwide, Solomon was the first to be contacted by Kane, who taunted him for believing he was killed in the Sarajevo Temple. Unnerved, Solomon called upon Michael McNeil to counter Nod. Preferring strategy and careful planning, Solomon stayed in contact with the GDI commander throughout the conflict, often clashing with the young commander, but seeing how McNeil reminded Solomon of himself when he was young, he let those problems slide. Solomon was often portrayed as a responsible and strong leader, yet he apparently held mutants in low regard, often referring to them as "shiners" and saying that they "can wait."

When Michael McNeil ordered a hasty attack on Cairo, Solomon was quick to inform the commander that he would not authorize it as such. While was unwilling to risk losing such an able commander to a court martial in case his forces lost, he provided them with a veteran Titan unit deployed from the Philadelphia via orbital insertion.

Solomon's fate after the Second Tiberium War is unknown.

Corporal Lewis is a GDI non-commissioned officer who serves under Michael McNeil in Tiberian Sun.

He took part in the assault on the captured Hammerfest base and was the man who reported to commander Michael McNeil the death of his brother.

Lieutenant General Paul Cortez was the commanding officer of GDI forces in the southern sectors, overseeing operations from the Southern Cross command center. He assumed command of the entirety of the Global Defense Initiative during the Firestorm Conflict.

Video to help. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx130fa-zYs)

Cortez did not receive much media coverage for his work during the events of the Second Tiberium War.

After the Battle of Cairo, when a large-scale ion storm and atmospheric changes cut off contact between the Philadelphia command station and the planet, Cortez assumed command over GDI with Southern Cross acting as a temporary Global Defense Initiative command center until contact could be re-established with Philadelphia. He quickly formed the Firestorm Taskforce and siphoned off an experienced Commander from Project Lazarus to lead the campaign. Cortez was reputed as an arbiter and a good diplomat, establishing a sincere alliance with Tratos and the Forgotten. The Mutants proved invaluable in assisting GDI.

Cortez's skills proved instrumental to GDI's survival during the Firestorm Conflict, which helped save many lives as well as allow GDI to recover the Tacitus intact from the wreckage of the Kodiak with the assistance of the Forgotten.

Tratos united Tiberium-mutated humans under one cause. A charismatic man with limited precognitive powers, he rules the mutants with compassion and skill, giving shelter, society and order to those changed by Tiberium. His personal bodyguard was Umagon, who was loyal to him to the end.

Tratos has exceptional skill as a researcher and possesses great intellect. He was the original owner of the Tacitus, before he was tricked by Kane into handing it over and later imprisoned by Nod in order to aid the translation efforts of the incomplete data matrix. Plagued by the thought that he may have contributed to the doom of humanity, he aged rapidly and his health deteriorated, to the point that he had to be relocated to a Nod prison medical colony.

McNeil raided that colony with a Forgotten commando unit in cooperation with GDI. They liberate the leader and evacuate him to the Kodiak with help from Lt Stark. Tratos remains on the ship for the remainder of the conflict (due to his state, as he is unable to walk after Nod's treatment), aiding commander Michael McNeil with his knowledge and scientific skill, as well as the visions he regularly experiences. Eventually he gots back on his feet and is able to perform regular scientific work. He managed to develop a prototypical anti-mutagen, which he injected into Umagon to stop the divination process. Unfortunately, the serum does not work, and Umagon mutated horribly.

The Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform (originally named Computer Assisted Bio-organic Artificial Life-form) is a sinister and highly advanced sentient AI created by Kane using technology and data he acquired, presumably from the Tacitus.

CABAL's purpose was twofold: it served as a console interface between Nod battlefield soldiers and their commanders worldwide, while at the same time utilizing the subsequent and vast network of live intelligence to collate and devise complex strategies of its own, ultimately acting as a potent advisor and right-hand to those highest in command of the Brotherhood's forces.

It also proved to have the capability of decoding and translating the Tacitus, an object considered to hold all the recorded knowledge on the mysterious Tiberium substance. CABAL's overall function was parallel to GDI's EVA to a large degree, but was vastly superior. CABAL even referred to the GDI EVA as a "primitive machine". The AI literally had a mind of its own and could both reason and act completely autonomously, a lifeform more than a computer. The EVA unit, in comparison, gives at best logically-formulated advice based on the sum of the information it was presented with.

During the Second Tiberium War, CABAL was used as the Brotherhood's tactical, logistical and global communications coordinating console, as well as a potent type of advisor to Kane's top operatives under the command of Anton Slavik.

She was one of the fiercest warriors of the Forgotten and favourite underling of Tratos, Umagon was an excellent hand-to-hand fighter. She was subject to extreme Tiberium exposure, which turned her into a mutant.

Second Tiberium War

Little is known about her prior to her encounter with GDI forces in the Second Tiberium War. She penetrated a large Scrin aircraft captured by the Brotherhood of Nod and was encountered by GDI commanders Michael McNeil and Chandra, when they were exploring the interior of the strange ship after taking it from the Nod.[1] Eventually, she struck a deal with the Global Defense Initiative, trading General Vega's location for saving Tratos, the Forgotten's leader. It is hinted that she and McNeil shared a love which did not endure, due to her Tiberium injuries.

She would eventually serve as a sort of ambassador of the Forgotten to GDI, aiding commander McNeil with advice, providing tactical information or even pinpointing the location of the prototype fighter manufacturing plant. Unfortunately, she was captured by Nod following the last assignment, and taken to Kane's headquarters in Cairo, where she'd be subject to the Divination process.[2]

The process could not have been completed though, as McNeil rescued Umagon and Tratos administered an experimental Tiberium mutation antidote to her.[2] However, this would prove to be an error, as the antidote caused her to mutate horribly and forced Tratos to confine her to a straitjacket in a padded cell. She is assumed to have died of the mutations shortly before the Firestorm Conflict began.

Anton Slavik was a notorious and high-ranking commander of the Brotherhood of Nod, who rose to prominence during the Second Tiberium War and amid the Firestorm Crisis in particular. The feared leader of the Black Hand, Slavik's strategic genius and his unflinching loyalty to Kane made him ascend to Nod's Inner Circle at a very young age. During the Firestorm Crisis, he assumed command over the entirety of the Brotherhood as its supreme general in Kane's absence. In so doing, Slavik ensured Nod's survival against CABAL, and he indirectly set the world stage for the Third Tiberium War against GDI.

Hassan was the Brotherhood of Nod's supreme general in the eastern hemisphere prior to the Second Tiberium War. A "would-be Pharaoh", he ruled over the largest Nod splinter faction from a stronghold in Cairo, Egypt. Hassan secretly was in league with the Global Defense Initiative, as he brokered a deal with GDI general James Solomon, who helped him to stay in power in exchange for maintaining the status quo in GDI's favor.

In order to ensure his continued primacy within the Brotherhood, Hassan cut a deal with GDI's general Solomon - in return for intel on Nod activities, GDI would allow him to lead the Brotherhood.

Hassan was a weak ruler, keeping the Brotherhood away from total oblivion by the thinnest of hairs. He also acted as GDI's cleaner, removing the most dangerous elements of Nod on Solomon's behalf, typically by killing them.

Cesar Vega was a South American drug lord and a somewhat ineffective general of the Brotherhood of Nod during the early stages of the Second Tiberium War.

The Electronic Video Agent (EVA) is a battle interface and massive database that was first conceived in the Second World War, and slowly developed into pseudo-AIs. Its main role was coordinating and processing information, battle conditions and status and providing commanders with a versatile and powerful command tool.

Jake McNeil is a high ranking GDI officer stationed in the Norwegian Hammerfest base in Tiberian Sun.

Jake is the brother of Michael McNeil. He was taken prisoner along with his parents during the First Tiberium War and placed in a medical colony. His mother gave birth to his little brother Michael while in the camp. His brother's DNA was considered perfect for augmentation by Nod researchers, who took him away. When the McNeil's resisted, they were shot by security, leaving the McNeil brothers orphans. Jake never knew what the Brotherhood researchers were doing to his sibling, he only knew that his brother was still alive.

When the medical colony was liberated by GDI Commander James Solomon and his troops, both boys were placed in GDI care and grew up under the UN wing. However, Jake's deeply rooted distrustful attitude towards authority figures hampered any attempts by Solomon to develop a relationship similar to the one he had with McNeil.

Jake set aside his distrust and joined GDI after his brother rose in rank rapidly, seeing the pride with which he served. As a normal human (Michael was augmented by Nod in the medical colony, a fact no one in GDI knew about) he can't match his brother's accomplishments, a fact which gnaws at him a little, but he serves as best he can. He does his job well enough for no one to complain, although he often gets compared to standards higher than what he is capable of.

Jake is a loner who has problems fitting in with the crowd. He also has trust issues when it comes to authority figures and hidden anxieties concerning his brother's fame. Nevertheless, he is also idealistic and wants a world of peace, not war.

Maychek was a Nod propaganda anchorman, notably for the series Today's Execution. The Anchorman operated under orders from the would-be pharaoh, Hassan. He was working in a TV station in Egypt and worked alongside Oxanna Kristos, a news reporter for the station. When she freed Slavik, he was the one to announce that she died in a "tunnel collapse near her home", a fact about which Slavik joked to Oxanna.

When Slavik began his rise to power, Maychek was one of the first to be executed for treason - by the smiling Oxanna, on air.

1st Lieutenant Chandra was Michael McNeil's second in command, best friend and Kodiak copilot.
He served during the Second Tiberium War. By the war he had attained the rank of first lieutenant and been second-in-command of Commander Michael McNeil's unit, operating from Kodiak, for some time. Chandra was aboard Kodiak at the beginning of the Firestorm Crisis. The ship picked up the Tacitus at the Nod Pyramid in Cairo. Chandra kept GDI headquarters apprised of progress. As the ship flew to a more secure area it was struck by an ion storm and crashed on the north coast of Egypt. All aboard were killed.

Michael "Mack" McNeil is the player character in Tiberian Sun's GDI campaign, and a major character in the Tiberium game.

Origin

McNeil was born in a Nod medical colony, after his parents were captured by the Brotherhood during the First Tiberium War. When Kane's scientists realized that the infant child has the perfect DNA structure for human enhancement with Tiberium, they took the child from the parents. When the McNeils resisted, they were shot dead by Nod troopers, leaving only his brother Jake alive.

Nod scientists aimed to create a highly intelligent military commander with excellent strength and combat reflexes; in essence, the perfect soldier. However, the facility was liberated by Commander James Solomon's forces and the McNeil brothers were taken under GDI care. Michael spent his formative years in GDI bases and military academies, eventually, once old enough to join the GDI military, showing outstanding skills and abilities as a commando (thanks to Nod genetic enhancements that GDI is oblivious to). McNeil reached the rank of Commander in record time.

Personality

He is a prominent field commander in his thirties, characterized as an intensely loyal and fiercely competitive individual in his periodical medical report #PSY89902. His best friend and second in command, Lt Chandra, says that "Mack considers life simple. He knows what he wants and he'll do everything to achieve it. And like every good marine, he wants to win."

Assignment

Michael McNeil is, essentially, GDI's cleaner, called upon to handle the worst environmental crises and pacify the most violent of Nod uprisings. Stationed in Point Hope, Alaska, McNeil enjoys his work, but longs for something more, a purpose for his life. The re-emergence of Nod in September 2030 sees McNeil assigned command over GDI's North American forces, sent to handle the newest Nod outburst.

Oxanna Kristos was a covert operative of the Black Hand, the right hand woman of Anton Slavik, and an exceptionally skilled Nod propagandist. She features prominently in the Nod campaign of Tiberian Sun, though did not return for its Firestorm expansion pack, having presumably died in the Second Tiberium War. Kristos served as Nod's chief propagandist. She was exceptionally skilled in manipulating the media to suit Kane's goals. Her impassioned speeches were able to inspired unparalleled furor and zeal in all members of the Brotherhood.

Light Infantry is the mainstay of the GDI troops. Armed with an M16 Mk. II pulse rifle, they deliver light damage to most targets. Although slow, infantry are capable of movement over varied terrain types with little loss in speed. They are also able to pass through certain terrains or hazards that are inaccessible or damaging to vehicles. They are best used for scouting.

Voice-wise you are free to provide a voice which you think would suit the unit best. Courageous? Shouty? What do you see in this character from the description, lines and image provided? 

Unlike the cutscenes, these units don't have any voice specifics worth keeping.

The Disc Thrower is a light infantry unit that carries a long-range grenade delivery system. Instead of traditionally shaped grenades, the Disc Thrower uses an aerodynamic grenade that is designed with longer flight in mind. Because of the dynamics of the discus-like projectile, the grenade can bounce along terrain if it does not impact its intended target. Its explosion deals splash damage which suppresses enemy infantry.

Slow and unarmed, Engineers are nonetheless very useful in their own right. They are able to capture enemy structures, repair damaged friendly structures and repair damaged bridges (if a bridge hut is nearby). Note that the engineer unit will be lost when any of these actions are performed.

Amid the chaos of battle, the Medic is solely responsible for treating the injured and getting downed soldiers back in the fight. If double-clicked, the medic will automatically heal any nearby friendly soldiers. Medics can also be targeted to treat a specific soldier.

Amid the chaos of battle, the Medic is solely responsible for treating the injured and getting downed soldiers back in the fight. If double-clicked, the medic will automatically heal any nearby friendly soldiers. Medics can also be targeted to treat a specific soldier.

The airborne divisions of GDI’s infantry, Jump Jet soldiers are able to perform surgical hits on targets normally inaccessible to standard infantry. Armed with a Vulcan cannon, these flying soldiers can provide an anti-air defense as well as quick air-to-ground attacks on poorly defended targets.

A member of the Forgotten, Ghost Stalker carries a small railgun and is armed with C4 charges. His railgun is able to shoot through multiple targets at once, eliminating rows of enemies in a single hit. His C4 charges can be planted at enemy buildings, destroying them instantly. Like all mutant units, Ghost Stalker can heal in Tiberium.

Critical to the financial success of both sides, the Harvester is the only unit capable of collecting Tiberium for refinement. Harvesters will automatically begin to collect Tiberium if they arrive with a Tiberium Refinery, but not if built from the War Factory. If it carries the more valuable, but also more volatile blue Tiberium strain, the Harvester becomes highly unstable, and explodes violently if destroyed, which can be used offensively as a poor man’s demolition truck.

The Powered Assault Armour, or “Wolverine,” is a small bipedal mech piloted by a single soldier. Fast and agile, the lightly armoured mechs excel at suppression fire and in light skirmishes.

The Medium Battle Mechanized Walker, or “Titan”, is GDI’s all-purpose assault and defense unit. Standing 25 feet tall and packing a 120mm cannon, the Titan is a force to be reckoned with. Its long range makes it an ideal unit for use in base assaults, as it can pummel defenses without fear of retaliation.

The Amphibious APC is a heavily armoured unit that can carry up to five infantry units over land and sea. Note that an APC can not be unloaded while in water. The vehicle is unarmed, and should be escorted by other units.

The Hover MLRS is a medium-range missile delivery system mounted on a hover chassis. Like the Amphibious APC, the Hover MLRS is capable of crossing both land and sea. Because of its hovering capability, the unit is unaffected by most terrain types, making it an ideal (although somewhat expensive) unit for scouting enemy territory. Its rockets are capable of hitting both air and land targets with equal effectiveness.

The Mobile Sensor Array is a vehicle equipped with a state-of-the-art sensor package that can detect the presence of enemy units even if they are cloaked or burrowing underground when it is deployed. Detected units will not be “uncloaked”, but will be displayed on radar and tactical view, allowing a commander to take the necessary measures to destroy the hidden unit(s).

The heart of every base is the Construction Yard. When deployed, this vehicle becomes a Construction Yard, providing you with all of the benefits of that building. To deploy an MCV, select the vehicle and hold the cursor over it. If the cursor changes to a white circle with four arrows, left-clicking on it will deploy the vehicle. If the cursor has a red circle with a line through it, there is either not enough room to deploy or something is in the way. Move the vehicle (or the offending object) to find a suitable deployment site. The MCV must be protected at all costs.

Recent developments aboard the Philadelphia have led to breakthroughs in harmonic resonance. Making use of this technology, the Disruptor is capable of shattering any unit or structure caught in its powerful wave – enemy or ally alike. Explodes violently when destroyed with elite status.

This experimental behemoth is GDI’s most powerful weapon. Towering over the battlefield, the Mammoth Mk. II carries dual railguns and a back-mounted anti-aircraft missile launcher. The railguns are capable of reducing most units to slag in a matter of seconds, while its AA launcher ensures air protection for the unit. The main downside is that its railguns can only fire at objects that are on the same elevation as the Mammoth.

The mainstay of GDIs air force, the Orca Fighter is a versatile and lightweight attack aircraft. Fast, lightly armoured and armed with dual missile launchers, the Orca fighter can deliver a missile barrage to any location on the battlefield within moments of receiving orders. However, like most aircraft, the Orca Fighter must return to a helipad in order to reload its weapons.

Heavier and better armoured then its Fighter cousin, the Orca Bomber trades speed for firepower. Delivering a stream of high-explosive bombs in strafing runs, the Orca Bomber is ideal for softening up ground defenses during the beginning of a base assault.

The largest of all the Orcas, this transport aircraft has the critical job of rescuing or delivering units to or from any destination. Using a large grappling device, the Carryall is capable of picking up any vehicle found on the battlefield. To make the Carryall pick up a unit, select the Carryall, then left-click on the unit you wish to pick up. To put the unit down, select the Carryall when it is on the ground, highlight it, and left-click on it when the “deploy cursor” appears. Note that you can drop units directly onto Service Depots and Refineries without detaching them first.

The Orca Transport can carry up to 5 infantry units to any location on a battle map. Loading and unloading it is identical in function to loading and unloading an amphibious APC.

Nod’s heavy infantry carry a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher that is effective against vehicles and aircraft and deals splash damage in a small radius. Because of the increased weight of the rocket launcher, rocket infantry are slower than light infantry but are more heavily armoured. While they are not effective against infantry, their weapon suppresses them.

Cyborg infantry are the result of recent Nod experiments in melding Tiberium-mutated humans with machines. They are armed with heavy body armour and a high-power pulse rifle that is particularly effective against infantry and light vehicles. They are resilient to anti-infantry weapons, but are more vulnerable to anti-armour ones. If a Cyborg is badly damaged, his legs are detached so that the rest of the body can fight on. Cyborgs heal in Tiberium. Perhaps a bad impersonation of Arnold could work.

Those cyborgs that perform well are further modified and promoted to the Cyborg Commando ranks. Packing enough firepower to take out entire bases, a single Cyborg Commando is a large threat on the battlefield. Armed with a plasma cannon, the Commando can make quick work of any ground target. He is resilient to anti-infantry weapons, but is more vulnerable to anti-armour ones. If a Cyborg Commando is badly damaged, his legs are detached so that the rest of the body can fight on. The Cyborg Commando heals in Tiberium.

A member of the Forgotten, the hijacker has the ability to commandeer any vehicle he wishes. When the hijacker is selected and the cursor is placed over an enemy vehicle, the cursor becomes an “enter” cursor to signify the vehicle can be stolen. Clicking on a vehicle when the cursor is in this stage sends the hijacker to the unit to steal it. Once a vehicle is stolen, the hijacker cannot be removed from the vehicle until the vehicle is destroyed. When it is, he pops out and is able to steal another vehicle. Like all mutant units, the mutant hijacker can heal in Tiberium when he is not inside a vehicle.

This infantry unit is only deployed in stealth operations. While unarmed, the Chameleon Spy wears a suit which cloaks him, making him invisible to enemies. He is most often ordered to scout an area and/or to infiltrate a specific building.

These soldiers are only deployed in special operations. In normal circumstances, they utilize a toxin rifle that instantly disposes of enemy infantry and which causes splash damage in the immediate vicinity. If they are after a specific target whom they wish to capture rather than assassinate, they use a toxin of lesser power which makes the target susceptible to their control, making extractions easier. They are, however, helpless against vehicles, aircraft, and structures.

The Attack Buggy is Nod’s primary recon unit, armed with a twin machine gun with which it easily counters enemy infantry. Its weak armour is made up for with high speed.

Another light recon vehicle, the Attack Cycle is Nod’s fastest ground unit. Although it trades armour for speed, the Cycle is capable of sustaining moderate damage before being destroyed. It carries twin rocket launchers capable of hitting both air and ground units. If elite, it can also target enemy air units.

This battle tank has the ability to burrow itself into the ground to increase its durability and perform mobile battery defense. When burrowed, only the turret and a small part of the unit remains above ground. However, even when mobile, it deals considerable damage to enemy armour and structures.

This robotic vehicle is capable of repairing damaged vehicles on the battlefield. It features an extendible arm which houses all of the tools needed to repair a vehicle to battle readiness. Placing this unit in guard mode will enable it to automatically repair any vehicles in its immediate vicinity

Realizing that they needed a way to deliver damage without fear of retaliation, Nod developed a new long-range artillery platform. Because of recoil involved, the unit is unable to fire while mobile, and cannot move while deployed. Its range and firepower allow for easy bombardment of enemy structures and infantry, while it is less effective against vehicles. It is poorly armoured, and should be escorted by other unit types.

The Mobile Sensor Array is a vehicle equipped with a state-of-the-art sensor package that can detect the presence of enemy units even if they are cloaked or burrowing underground when it is deployed. Detected units will not be “uncloaked”, but will be displayed on radar and tactical view, allowing a commander to take the necessary measures to destroy the hidden unit(s).

Terror is a formidable weapon, and the sheer sight of this nightmarish unit is enough to cause GDI troops to tremble. Capable of burrowing though all but the hardest of surfaces, the Devil’s Tongue can unleash deadly jets of flame on unsuspecting targets with impunity. The flame is especially effective against infantry and structures, although prolonged exposure to its blasts can even melt steel.

The Stealth Tank is a light battle tank that is able to cloak itself in order to remain undetected by enemies. The tank is unable to remain cloaked while firing due to the enormous power drain of the stealth generator. Infantry and base defenses can reveal the stealth tank if it comes too close. Mobile Sensor Arrays can detect a stealth tank’s presence at longer range.

Excellent against infantry and lightly armoured vehicles, the Harpy is the newest generation of combat helicopters. Like all flying units, the Harpy must return to a Helipad in order to reload its weapons.

Experiments with recovered alien technology have allowed Nod to develop the next generation of fighting aircraft. Codenamed the Banshee, this sleek craft is capable of decimating any unit or structure with its twin plasma cannons.

Slavik's betrayer is a Nod sergeant appearing in Tiberian Sun.

Little is known about the man who sold Anton Slavik out to Hassan. What is known is that he was a member of the Serbian Wolf's command crew on board the Montauk and that he was executed when Slavik was rescued from death by Oxanna Kristos.

Lt. Com. Peter Tao, was the base commander of Phoenix Base.

Peter Tao is a friend of McNeil's, a little younger than him, but old enough to attend the academy at more or less the same time.

Second Tiberium War

When Nod forces, led by General Vega attack Phoenix Base, Tao's men put up a fight but were overwhelmed by Nod troops, with Tao soon reporting that all GDI forces had been destroyed.[2] Tao was captured and tortured for important information, before being executed by general Cesar Vega. The video of his execution was sent to the Kodiak and before the execution, Vega jeered at McNeil, Chandra, and Brink.

The Juggernaut serves as a mobile artillery gun, possessing great range and power that make it perfect for siege warfare. Despite its imposing appearance however, the Juggernaut is surprisingly vulnerable to most forms of attack, especially anti-armor weaponry. On top of this, it is fairly slow moving. These two vulnerabilities combined bestow the Juggernaut with the necessity to be protected either by friendly units or a healthy amount of distance from its targets.

The Juggernaut cannot fire while mobile; in order to use its powerful artillery guns, it needs to plant itself in the ground first, a process which takes around two seconds to complete. Once implanted, it can and will fire at any target inside it's attack radius; in order for it to attack anything outside that radius, it must rise back up, move to a close spot, and then plant itself again.
