First Strike

The attack on Goddard Space Center was an attempt to take out GDI's A-SAT defense by nod. The assualt was preparation for the destruction of the Philadelphia starting the Third Tiberium War.

The attack began with fanatics blowing a hole in the perimeter wall so a saboteur could gain access to the GDI command center. He captured it to prevent GDI from calling reinforcements. Then, many more nod reinforcements arrived and they systematically wipe out the base until shadow teams took out the A-SAT defense system.
