Temple of Nod Redesign Mk1

A concept for a new and revised Temple of Nod. Which pays homage to the old school Tiberian Dawn (CnC1) Temple of Nod, and all the scorpion art homage in the Brotherhood of Nod buildings. This version actually works in three ways. As a reliquary for Brotherhood of Nod Relics, and advanced technologies, a launching platform for Nods Nuclear ICBM contingency, and a deployment zone for Temple of Nod Elite forces.

(The Nuke follows the thought process of late 1980's Soviet ICBM systems, which have "soft" or "cold" launch processes. The missile is propelled by a compressed gas charge that forcefully ejects the missile clear of the missile silo, before the missile ignites its boosters. This means that Nod Temple of Nod missile silos can be reused for multiple launches, whereas in the past "hot" launch missile silos had require extensive repairs or inspection for possible dangers for a subsequent launch. Due to damages from missile booster thrust.

Although there has been recent intelligence that the Brotherhood of Nod has begun to modify GDI rail-gun technology to further increase lethality of their nuke arsenal, via an accelerated launch system, where the missile doesn't ignite boosters till it is in its upward arc of the launch phase. This new experimental system makes detecting a Nod Missile launch incredibly difficult, but it does have one down side. The Rail Gun Technology requires massive amounts of power. )
