Netrunners

Background
Very little information is available about Netwarriors - they were only used once, and it is speculated that the technology for these warriors was lost following the destruction of Kane's Temple, but this is unclear.

Apparently, Netwarriors are hackers that are physically present at Kane's temple. Through an unknown method, they managed to convert a physical, mechanical system at the temple into a method of hacking. Although this dramatically increased the hacking capability of the Net warriors, it had the side effect that if a hacker was stopped in his hack, feedback could occur that could injure or even kill the hacker who had been plugged into the system.

The system was used to hack into the Ion Cannon network, which destroyed a famous monument with a number of deaths. In hacking the system, 2 netwarriors were killed. Soon after that event, GDI programmers and hackers, operating more conventially, managed to remove the infiltrating Netwarrior. It is assumed that this caused the death of the hacker in question.

With the destruction of Nod's power in Africa following the climax of the First Tiberium War, the Temple in Africa was presumed to have been destroyed, and the netwarriors with it.
