Catalyst missile

Nod developed catalyst missiles during the Third Tiberium War at Kane's behest, as he saw them as the perfect way for neutralising any threat from the Scrin. The majority of catalyst missiles are equipped with fairly low-yield warheads that nevertheless can prove very destructive when Tiberium is present. Essentially, catalyst missiles do most of their damage by causing an explosive chain reaction with Tiberium. As one might imagine, refineries stocked with Tiberium are particularly vulnerable targets, as are, as Kane rightly predicted, the Tiberium-based Scrin.

At least one missile equipped with a more damaging warhead, capable of destruction over a larger area, is known to have been produced during the Third Tiberium War and deployed against the Scrin.
