The globalized brotherhood is led by a mysterious man known only as Kane, and its influence at the advent of the events in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars reached nothing short of the status of an unconventional superpower. Throughout its struggle with GDI, Nod is shown possessing characteristics of a vast religious movement, a multinational corporation and a decentralized nation-state, while being none of the three in itself. The Brotherhood of Nod is a highly militant society of allegedly ancient origins. Their superweapon is the ion cannon, an orbital weapon that has appeared in every Tiberium title to date previously capable of destroying only a single building at a time, the ion cannon can now devastate a large area, through 8 small ion beams forming up into the center and ionising the air before the larger, more destructive main blast. In-game, their units are unit-for-unit more powerful than those of Nod and the Scrin. By the year 2047, GDI's forces have been restructured to allow for decentralized operations in multiple theatres of war, through the establishment of forward-operating bases in all types of terrain, and the deployment of proven, specialized and cost-effective ground and air forces supported by the most advanced network of orbital artillery satellites in history. The Brotherhood is notoriously adept at exploiting these weaknesses with a mixture of low-tech guerrilla tactics and a combination of advanced Tiberium-based technologies. However, GDI military doctrine has shown to be more cumbersome and lacking flexibility. Global Defense Initiative troops utilize both superior armor and firepower, making them typically more powerful than their Nod counterparts-especially in open and direct engagements. Comparably, modern day armed forces lack the organisational, technological and numerical superiority of GDI armed forces. GDI assets are able to deploy globally, quickly and with lethal force. GDI is capable of instantly deploying vast quantities of well-trained and well-equipped soldiers backed by powerful ground, air and naval assets. The United Nations Global Defense Initiative (UNGDI or simply GDI) has a similar internal structure and administrative hierarchy to a modern-day supranational body integrating the armies and resources of the richest and most powerful nations. The three main factions of this series are the Global Defense Initiative, Brotherhood of Nod, and Scrin. The Tiberium series, which includes the original Command & Conquer game, is set in an alternate history. Main article: Command & Conquer: Tiberian series
