||
| − | ==Background== |
+ | == Background == |
| + | Starting off as a Dutch settlement named New Amsterdam, New York became English and was renamed in 1674 and grew to become a major city of the [[United States]]. The city would become the financial capital of the US and later to the world. Being a source of great wealth, New York was seen as the greatest capitalist symbol the world has ever known. The [[Statue of Liberty]] was placed on Liberty Island in the Hudson River as a token of friendship and reward from France. As the city's economic prosperity grew, so did its skyline, resulting in one of the most prominent cityscapes on Earth. |
||
| − | The Allied yard functions similarly to its predecessors. The construction yard generally completes all components before structure assembly begins at the desired site. If structures need to be built outside of the base, [[Command Hub|Command hubs]] can be deployed. |
||
| + | == Tiberium universe == |
||
| − | The yard leverages existing Standardized Production Assembly Module (SPAM) technology. SPAM had existed for at least a decade and was already used to assemble munitions in the field. A more revolutionary aspect was the integration of Virtually Operated Industrial Production (VOIP) which allowed production of advanced munitions. |
||
| + | The ruins of New York City are featured in the [[Tiberian Twilight motion comic|''Tiberian Twilight'' motion comic]]. |
||
| + | Once one of the most important cities in North America, New York was not spared from the [[Tiberium]] outbreak. Over the years, this once lush Blue Zone was overrun by the alien crystal, which thrived. The Manhattan island became covered with green crystals, which grew to monstrous proportions, as tall as the tallest skyscrapers in the city.<ref name="Comic3">Lanzing, Jackson (w), Micah Farritor (p, i).

| − | A new, important aspect of the Construction yard is providing "Clearance". Clearance is separated into the two levels, Heightened Clearance and Max Clearance, which must be purchased in order to assemble more sophisticated units and structures. Clearance for production structures is given to the area immediately around a construction yard. Clearance for areas well beyond the immediate confines of a field base was granted by establishing Command Hubs, which themselves must be upgraded independently. |

| − | Construction yard is still deployed from an MCV. They can be established either on land or at water. Once established, they can construct buildings in a limited, but vast area. They manufacture buildings inside before deploying a complete set of building kits in a target area. The building is instantly constructed and completed in a flash. They can coordinate their construction efforts with the help of Command Hubs, delivering the complete structure kits to be deployed within the building radius of the hub. They also have capability to construct platform provisions in case of building some structures over water. They also contain advanced communication and coordination facilities to enable new, highly classified blueprints for construction. These facilities can also be used to call in top secret protocols. They cannot construct another Construction yard directly. |

Starting off as a Dutch settlement named New Amsterdam, New York became English and was renamed in 1674 and grew to become a major city of the United States. The city would become the financial capital of the US and later to the world. Being a source of great wealth, New York was seen as the greatest capitalist symbol the world has ever known.

Once one of the most important cities in North America, New York was not spared from the Tiberium outbreak. Over the years, this once lush Blue Zone was overrun by the alien crystal, which thrived. The Manhattan island became covered with green crystals, which grew to monstrous proportions, as tall as the tallest skyscrapers in the city.[1]

New York City was a pivotal strategic and symbolic location in the first and final iterations of the Third World War.
Third World War (Red Alert 2)

New York was one of the first locations invaded by the Soviet Union in the Third World War. The City was heavily bombarded by Dreadnoughts and V3 Launchers, and the Soviets established several major outposts in the region to strengthen their hold on the city.
In the Allied Campaign, Agent Tanya infiltrated the city to liberate the trapped troops in Fort Bradley. The city was largely in ruins by this time and she could not save the Statue of Liberty from being brought down by Soviet missiles. Upon the destruction of the Statue, Premier Romanov delivered a message to the people of New York: "See your liberty, how she lies broken before you...you can continue to mourn your past, or join us in the Great Soviet Revolution!". Sadly for the communist tyrants, their response was all too typical. Allied revenge was swift; Agent Tanya rallied the Allied forces stationed in and around Fort Bradley and dealt a swift blow to the Soviet invaders by demolishing their local outpost, saving the city.

In the Soviet Campaign, New York was where Yuri wanted to test his Psychic Beacon. In the campaign, Soviet forces capture an Allied Battle Lab which was built between the World Trade Center's Twin Towers. After the capture, the battle lab was converted into a Psychic beacon, which caused massive amounts of Allied reinforcements and the city itself to fall under the banner of the Hammer-and-Sickle.

New York City was the site of the last major battle in the War in the Soviet perspective. See Operation: Blight on the Big Apple for more information.
After the War, as a reflection of the Revolution's victory, the city was renamed Commandergrad, as a insult to injury, and in honor of the commander, now Premier, who took the city and the world for the USSR. The destroyed Statue of Liberty was rebuilt with a Statue of Lenin and along with the New York Stock Exchange they now belong to the Soviet Union.
