## Summery

The Global Defense Initiative, better known as GDI, is a military organization that is the collaboration of multiple nations around the world in order to eliminate the threat known as the Brotherhood of Nod.

## Stats

Enter the following information in each section below.

## Civilization Stats

**Tier 9: Digital**: The GDI uses powerful tech for their war efforts against , they have highly advanced computes that can transmit information from long distances. They have advanced robotics such as Behemoths and Juggernauts that can stomp through almost anything in their path.

Their organization is able to obtain this tier through the usage of science and technology as well.

## Power Source

**Energy Source: Paraphernalia**

**Science:** Construction (With funding from the U.N., the G.D.I. are capable of mass producing large scale machinery and weapons to arm their forces for battle) Intuitive Aptitude (Many of their members are skills in the fields or research for better weaponry and even mechanized units and exploration)

**Nature:** Human Physiology (The GDI are humans of Earth with standard military skills)

## Conquest Stats

**Tier 9-A: Multi Country**: The GDI organization is formed from the coalition of the nations from the United Nations, which makes them a very large and powerful military coalition.

## Power Stats

**DC: Country:** The Ion Cannon when fired from space, which caused major damage to Eastern Europe. **Large Building+**: GDI battleships with their advanced weaponry. **Small Building**: The weaponry of the GDI aircraft capable of damaging armored vehicles and devastate large areas. **Small Building-Room**: GDI warmachines and light vehicles weaponry. **Room**: GDI rocket and grenade used by the infantry. **Wall-Street**: Infantry using standard gunnery.

## Strengths/Pros

Their military doctrine decrees that they use superior firepower and heavy armor to ensure victory in on the battlefield. They also host a variety of subfactions, similar to Nod, who handle different tasks. ZOCOM (Zone Operations Command) specializes in Red Zone operations while the Steel Talons act as a test bed for experimental weaponry.

The GDI military is powerful force, they represent the best of what each nation that joined up is capable of. They also have fairly capable soldiers that are skilled in combat, unlike Nod, who use the much less skilled, yet more devoted, militants. They advance with main powerful tanks, robotics and other forms of warmachines the dominate the battlefields. They even use a network of orbital Ion Cannons to launch attacks from orbit. They are a well organized army that are strategically trained to handle almost any kind of situation, even an invasion from the Scrin.

## Weaknesses/Flaws

While fast vehicles do exist in their arsenal, they tend to be slow and vulnerable to enemies that use hit and run tactics. Nod uses these tactics in many of their battles and allows them to harass GDI by striking very frequently. Morale can be depleted quite easily, as they do not have the countless amounts of near-incorruptible patriots that Nod has.
