Scrin ship

The Scrin ship was a mysterious flying ship seen during the Second Tiberium War. It was constructed by the Brotherhood of Nod using technology from the Tacitus.
==History==
===Origin===
The Scrin ship was a Nod attempt to replicate the Scrin technology found in the Tacitus, hence its name.Ishmael, 5 January 2007. . Petroglyph Forums. Last accessed: 28 March 2010.
It was constructed by the Brotherhood of Nod at the end of the First Tiberium War, after which it was stored in an underground hangar below the Temple of Nod in Sarajevo, which apparently survived the Temple of Nod's destruction intact. In addition, it also housed the Tacitus.Westwood Studios, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. Nod mission 5: "Salvage Operation".
===Second Tiberium War===
Following Nod's recapture of the old Sarajevo Temple, Kane ordered Anton Slavik to recover the ship from its hangar. However, Nod general Vega reached the ship first and attempted to fly it to South America to "settle an old score". Unable to control the ship, Vega crashed it in the southern United States.
Slavik's forces eventually secured the crash site. However, the Tacitus was no longer there, having been taken by the Forgotten to their headquarters. The Nod scouts in the ship were then ambushed and killed by the Forgotten warrior Umagon.Westwood Studios, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. Nod mission 6a: "Sheep's Clothing".
While searching for Vega, a GDI forward scout discovered the Scrin ship's crash site, remarking that it was as large as a carrier and that it did not seem to have been made by human hands.Westwood Studios, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. GDI mission 3a: "Secure Crash Site".
The ship was revealed to have been booby trapped with various C4 charges. However, the detonation of these charges failed to even damage the ship.Westwood Studios, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun.

After repelling a Nod attempt to destroy the ship, Commander Michael McNeil led a team inside and discovered it to be empty, with Chandra remarking that Vega's men must have already taken everything.Westwood Studios, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun.

Inside the ship, McNeil encountered Umagon, who offered to help him locate Vega in exchange for rescuing the mutant leader Tratos. Eventually, McNeil and his forces broke into Vega's base. There, McNeil interrogated Vega as he was dying from an Eye Candy overdose, asking him what happened to the technology that they stole from the ship. However, Vega replied that Kane did not steal the ship, he built it, and that Kane has the Tacitus.Westwood Studios, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. GDI mission 7: "Capture Hammerfest Base".
When McNeil confronted Kane in the Cairo Nod Pyramid, Kane boasted that the Tacitus had told him of, among others, "invulnerable flying ships", presumably referring to the Scrin ship.Westwood Studios, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. GDI mission 12: "Final Conflict".
What ultimately became of the Scrin ship is unknown.
