| + | The Iron Curtain is a [[Soviet]] [[superweapon]] used during the [[Third World War (Red Alert 3)|Third World War]]. |
||
| + | ==Background== |
||
| − | Among the Scrin, Reaper-17 is an outcast sect of the Scrin society. They self-mutilate their bodies and are heavily mutated. Their insanity, violence, and cruelty is perhaps a result of excessive [[Tiberium infusion]]. Their first (confirmed) contact with humans was when [[Nod]] launched a strike to recover the [[Tacitus]] from [[GDI]] [[ZOCOM]] in [[China]]. |
||
| + | The Iron Curtain is one of the Soviet military's most-feared creations. It gathers some sort of energy inside its furnace, which it uses to project a kinetic barrier onto armored forces.

| + | {| |
||
| − | Little is known of the history of Reaper-17. It is known that Reaper-17 is a subsect of a wider religious phenomenon within the Scrin known as the "[[Cult of Reaper]]", a violent religious sect that seek to destroy anything that stands in the way of the Scrin. It is also known that Reaper-17 are the most violent of subsect of the Cult. Their excessive self-mutilation led to them being treated as outcasts by the rest of Scrin society. Nevertheless, they are an important part of harvesting operations, due to their strength and brutality, in case the indigenous population resisted more than expected. |

Before the Reaper could lay waste to the area, however, Nod forces made their escape. |
