Orbital strike

With it's increasing development of space instellations in orbit, GDI has also developed a new orbital weapon to supplement its Ion Cannons. The Orbital Strike capability allows GDI Commanders to provide orbital fire support for it's ground forces, much like an artillery strike.

Instead of using energy, the strike would use a knietic kill vechile to inflict large damage in an area. Basically, a gaint rod is fired from orbit onto a target. When it impacts, the kinetic energy of the rod would release heat and energy, damaging the target. A warhead would be redunant for such a weapon.

Orbital strike technology is an old concept called "Rods from God", dating back from the early 21st century.
