Harvester Hunting

Harvester Hunting is the eighth mission in the Nod campaign of Tiberian Sun: Firestorm.

Background
With the situation becoming extremely dire for Nod, Slavik was forced to approach General Cortez for a ceasefire and unholy alliance against CABAL. As GDI was also in a predicament thanks to CABAL's betrayal after recovering the Tacitus, as well as the ion storm that cut communications with the Philadelphia, Cortez reluctantly accepted the proposal, though not without warning Slavik the consequences of terminating the alliance before CABAL was destroyed.

GDI and Nod combined their intelligence and determined the location of CABAL's true core in Libya. However his base was too well defended for a direct assault so GDI and Nod decided to focus on CABAL's auxiliary bases to weaken the AI's footing. GDI, with better resources and technology, would focus on destroying the cyborg production facilities while Nod, with its infamous hit-and-run tactics even in their weakened state, focused on eliminating CABAL's harvesting operations. A civilian village was also present, and Nod would (ironically) have to protect the village from forced cyborg recruitment.

Aftermath
GDI confirmed that the cyborg production plants had been destroyed at the same time as Nod's disruptions of CABAL's harvesting operations. Slavik and Cortez deemed to be the right time to assault the CABAL Core, even though CABAL still had many defensive measures to protect its core.
