Reclamator hub

The Reclamator Hub is GDI's epic unit construction facility in Kane's Wrath.
==Background==
The Reclamator Hub is responsible for the construction and maintenance of the Mammoth Armored Reclamation Vehicle (MARV). Its design appears to have been inspired by the subterranean construction facilities of Nod War Factories, and produces vehicles in an underground facility before releasing them to the surface. The facility is additionally equipped with two Tiberium Silos and a large smokestack, presumably for storing the Tiberium harvested by the MARV.
In addition to constructing the MARV, it can also function as a standard war factory, complete with three repair drones.
The Reclamator Hub was first encountered by Nod forces in North Africa. The MARV it deployed was but a rumor at the time, though with each decimated patrol the idea became a more substantial threat. After receiving concrete evidence of the MARV's existence, Nod's tactical AI, LEGION, was dispatched to capture the Reclamator Hub and upload the information in its databanks to Nod's central HQ. This directive was dutifully carried out, which resulted in the invention of the Redeemer and the subsequent destruction of ZOCOM's bases in the area.
It seemed that most GDI bases of high value were equipped with these structures. GDI's Rocky Mountains base, which held the highly important Tacitus, also contained a Reclamator Hub within its shielded inner sanctum. However, the structure and the MARV it constructed were both annihilated in LEGION's raid on the facility.
==Game Structure==
The Reclamator Hub's main purpose is to bring the superheavy Mammoth Armored Reclamation Vehicle to the field. It also costs slightly more than the standard War Factory (and as a result takes more time to build), and also requires more power to operate. Aside from that, it functions identically to a standard GDI War Factory: it has the same number of hitpoints (10,000) and produces the same vehicles.
The Reclamator Hub's unique construction ability makes it a high priority for enemies: destroying the massive structure is much easier than destroying the highly durable MARV it can deploy.
Due to the important technology and schematics the Reclamator Hub holds, each commander is only authorized to construct one at a time. However, in the event that a commander managed to obtain the schematics for the MARV deployed by all three of GDI's branches, they would in turn be able to deploy three Reclamator Hubs.
===Production===
: See GDI war factory § Production for all standard GDI vehicles
===Global Conquest===
In Global Conquest, the Reclamator Hub is a strategic structure that costs $6000 and allows the construction of strike forces that contain a MARV in the base where the structure is built.
==Changelog==
* Kane's Wrath patch 1.01: fixed a bug which allowed multiple Reclamatior Hubs to be built
* Kane's Wrath patch 1.02: GDI Slingshot and Shatterer icons swapped at the Reclamator Hub to mirror the War Factory
==Trivia==
* The Tiberium silos on the structure are purely cosmetic and do not increase Tiberium storage capacity.
* The Tiberium smokestack is an odd addition, as releasing unfiltered Tiberium fumes into the environment is closer to Nod's behavior.
* The Reclamator Hub is the only of the three epic unit production facilities that does not have any visual indicator.
** The Redeemer Engineering Facility has a unique animation for the Redeemer's deployment specifically.
** The Warp Chasm's "tentacles" draw closer when constructing the Eradicator Hexapod.
