North Carolina Badlands (mission)

The Skirmish of North Carolina was a minor battle between the Brotherhood of Nod and the Global Defence Initiative shortly before the events of the Third Tiberium War.

Recent satellite intelligence pointed to a suspicious level of activity in the North Carolina Badlands. InOps was concerned that the Brotherhood of Nod may be setting up a base there. The skilled GDI Commander got the mission to investigate and report back as soon as possible. An abandoned GDI training facility was located nearby - the Commander used it as his base of operations in the area.

The Commander occupied the abandoned base, but two groups of Fanatics destroyed one of the Commander's Power Plants, creating the undeniable problem of low power. After the construction of a new Power Plant and the power of the base at max, the mission proceeded.

One Engineer repaired the damaged bridge in the area, while another one captured one of the Nod buildings. Enabling the GDI forces to attack the Nod base.

Some reinforcements (Missile Soldiers) arrived shortly before the GDI attack. The GDI soldiers then went to the Nod outpost in the east. The Nod presence in the region was far greater than the GDI had expected. They constructed some air support from an Airfield at the base to use in the battle.

After the GDI destroyed three Nod key structures, they discover that the Nod outpost possess anti-aircraft buildings, making it impossible to use their air support. The GDI Command Center gives the commander the authority to use the very powerful Ion Cannon, which completely obliterated the Nod outpost.
