The weapon was then used to destroy a notable Western landmark. Using these codes, Netwarriors operating from a South African Temple of Nod, infiltrated GDI's orbital defense matrix and gained access to the Ion Cannon. Nod attacked a GDI base in Botswana and captured the Ion Cannon security codes from an advanced communications center there. GDI obliterated the Temple, and seemingly Kane, in one strike. The most notable use of the Ion Cannon during the First Tiberium War, was when GDI assaulted the Sarajevo Temple of Nod, where Kane was barricaded inside. The resulting Ion Strike cracked the Temple's reinforced defenses, allowing the commando, Nick Parker, to penetrate the temple's perimeter. One was used to penetrate the Temple of Nod in Cairo. The GS-2 beacon was developed for troops to request strikes in the field. A queuing system was introduced to manage the demand for the deployed systems, and this practice continues. The advent of the Ion Cannon corresponded with a promise by GDI never to use nuclear weapons.Īn advanced communications center at field bases provided operational commanders with a secure control uplink to the Ion Cannon. Despite the loss, development continued and the weapon system entered service by the end of the First Tiberium War. The weapon's potential was deemed a sufficient enough threat to the Brotherhood of Nod that Kane ordered the doctor's assassination. Approved by the UN in 1996, the development of the Ion Cannon was led by the talented Doctor Wong Hu Chan.
