Firestorm barrier

Firestorm Defense

When the Allies acquired alot of Soviet technology at the end of GWWII, it undertook a program to make a weapon which would be safe for use with their ideals. While it was perfectly easy to use the Iron Curtain and Tesla technology straight away "out of the box", they were potentially unsafe and it would have caused a moral outcry in the World (the Soviet Union evidently did not mind accidental loss of life amongst their own workers). This proved to be quite a large task, so when the Global Defense Initiative was formed, the research was passed on to their own X-Weapons project. As the world economics was still reeling from GWWII, progress was very slow. Only when the tiberium industry kicked off in the 1990s did the researchers really show much progress. After nearly fifty years of reasearch and perfection, the team eventually came up with the "Firestorm defense" base defense system.

The generator uses a modified Tesla technique to temporarily store and emit large amounts of energy.The so-called "walls" emit a modified Iron Curtain. With the Firestorm Defense, the Iron Curtain is generated vertically. Each "rung" generates its own Iron Curtain- this has been proven to be more efficient. One power cable goes to each circular module on the corners. Because of the nature of the Tesla Power input the corners pruduce a larger, more visible Iron Curtain effect. the Iron Curtain is blue.
