Hand of Nod (Tiberian Sun)

The second-generation Hand of Nod was a Nod infantry training and housing facility during the Second Tiberium War and the Firestorm Crisis.

Background

The Hand of Nod had a very low profile and its exterior was shaped like a human hand, grasping the ground. Almost all of its internal facilities were located underground. From a statement by CABAL, it was revealed that Nod had their infantry "shipped" onto the structure in hibernated state (in a specialized container) and awakened on site to be deployed. The Hand of Nod was replaced by the next Generation of the Hand of Nod.

In-game

This is the building required for deploying of Nod infantry units.
