Temple of Nod (Tiberium Wars)

Following CABAL's rebellion, Nod upgraded the appearance of the Temple, which now was truly looking similar to a scorpion and also changed it's role. Due to the large number of roles the Temple had to perform earlier, it allowed GDI to significantly cripple the Nod effort by simply destroying the structure.

The Temple ceased to be an advanced research center and instead was designed from the ground up as a fully fledged command center. The state of the art mainframes it possessed allowed Nod to effectively battle any electronic jamming they might encounter and keep their surveillance and net active at all times, thanks to Master Computer Countermeasures introduced. The Countermeasure system used the Temple's backup generators to return power to a base. Additionally, the Temple once again served as a nuclear missile silo, with its facilities now located under a blast door in the temple courtyard.

The Black Hand can also deploy a decoy Temple of Nod, tricking the enemy into believing they have access to nuclear arsenal early, or fool them regarding it's location.
