Firestorm barrier

Firestorm Defense Note: This refers to the Defensive structure. You may be looking for the Firestorm Crisis, or the Firestorm Taskforce.

History
Firestorm Walls were in extremely powerful defensive mechanism, but they were developed in secrecy, so the mechanisms of how they work have yet to be made clear. It is known, however, that they were first deployed at Hammerfest base, and it is possible that they were also designed there, possibly by the same team that created the Disruptor crystals.

Description
A Firestorm Generator needed to be constructed - it actually stored and produced the vast energies that powered the Firestorm Defense. It also was fragile for a structure, expensive, and Power hungry. However, it could transfer this energy to Firestorm Wall segments, which were coils of wire along the ground that directed this energy upward - far upward. The energy interacted with the air on occasion, producing what appeared to be a blue collumnar flame. This interaction was especially noticable where more energy was being produced - at the junction between several wall segments. If a projectile or unit tried to to enter the projectile, it would instantly be destroyed, and explode in a red collumnar flame.

Usage
Firestorm walls played in important role in many conflicts. During the Second Tiberium War, Firestorm walls were used to defend Hammerfest Base, and owing to their great power, [Hammerfest]] was considered indestructable. Nonetheless, both Nod and later GDI were able to infiltrate and capture the base. Then, GDI tried to use the defenses to protect Tratos, but again, Nod finally found away around it, by destroying the 6 power plants that ran the defenses. Finally, CABAL was able to create an actual invulnerable defense out of Firestorm walls, but it fell by treachery when Nod and GDI captured the codes that controlled his defenses and brought them down. Thus, Firestorm walls were not the cure-all they seemed at first.
