The Palace was the GLA's upgrade structure in Command & Conquer: Generals and its expansion, Zero Hour.
Background[]
The source of secrets for the GLA, the Palace can create important upgrades to weapons, defence and biological attacks. Up to five GLA fighters can garrison the Palace, and it cannot be captured by enemy units.
In-game[]
The Palace unlocks tier 3 units, including angry mobs, hijackers, Jarmen Kell, battle buses, bomb trucks, and SCUD launchers. It also unlocks the GLA's superweapon, the SCUD storms.
Due to its ability to garrison infantry, the Palace can be used as a makeshift bunker. It is immune to most garrison-clearing attacks, including Dragon tanks, flash-bang grenades, Chinook combat drop, and toxin tractors. However, it could still be cleared by stealth fighters equipped with Bunker Busters.
