Alexandria

Founded over 2300 years ago by Alexander the Great, Alexandria was the largest seaport in Egypt, and during the first Tiberium War, was the second largest city in Egypt. However, by 2047, much of the civilian population had been evicted to allow Nod activity to go unobserved, leaving behind the decaying cityscape (with a centrally-located EMP control center), and Nod's port.

As the Brother of Nod possessed, and continues to possess, almost total control of Africa during the Three Tiberium Wars, Alexandria has been a Nod holding for quite some time. Although it's role was only minimal during the first and second wars, during the Third Tiberium War, Alexandria's port became an important site during GDI's efforts to curb Nod WMD production and distribution.

As much of Nod's weapon development occured in Egypt, Alexandria's Mediterranean port served as the major pipeline of WMDs to Nod commanders across the world. Alongside the equipment and ships necessary to transit the lethal cargo, Alexandria was home to a fleet of Nod Battleships. The port authority buildings were guarded by a large Nod Base.

Following GDI's successful defense of Washington, General Granger sent the hero of the Blue Zone Campaign to cripple Nod's production facilities. First eliminating vital Nod Labs in Casabad, GDI then shifted resources to the destruction of Alexandria, in hopes of ending the threat of Kane's ultimate WMD; a Liquid Tiberium Bomb.

This marked the first major trial of GDI's heaviest unit of the Third Tiberium War; the mighty Mammoth 27. The huge tanks performed exceptionally well; a proud successor in the mammoth line. After a fierce battle, the base, most of the port, the cargo ships, and even the battleships (which were apparently left operating with skeleton crews at the time and couldn't mount a proper defense) had all been destroyed. Although the destruction failed to stop the Liquid T. components from being sent to Sarajevo, the destruction of the harbor proved a major setback for the brotherhood.
