->''On the ground, Commander Karrde stared silently as eight slender beams descended from the clear sky, man-made lightning bolts of ionized particles that slammed into the ground around the Nod base's coordinates...\\

Ion Cannon Twenty-Seven then went silent, and continued its orbit, waiting for new targeting data that would not come anytime soon.''

->''"We've still got the Orbital Defence Platforms that we put up over the past few years. Their positronic cannons should give HERZ's Evas a real nasty surprise should the need actually arise. And they thought that we'd actually use it to help those UN and HERZ guys over that little escapade in Kransoyarsk."\\
"Ain't this a beauty." Each ODP was a satelite mounted with a version of the positron rifle first used by Eva. Power was collected by solar panels and channeled into a sophisticated power system. This was the ultimate weapon. And now, they were all in place, circling the heavens. Deadly and waiting.''

->''"The satellite is at present over... Kansas. Well, if we destroy ''[[AcceptableTargets Kansas]]'' the world may not hear about it for ''years.''"''

->"The boys at R&D have completed preliminary testing on the ion cannon, the next generation of strategic defense armaments. Its geosynchronous orbit gives it a target diversions factor of 8-to-1. It's an awesome weapon, the most powerful in our arsenal.''
-->--General Mark Jamison Sheppard near the end of the [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianDawn First Tiberium War]]

->On the ground, Commander Karrde stared silently as eight slender beams descended from the clear sky, man-made lightning bolts of ionized particles that slammed into the ground around the Nod base's coordinates...
->In orbit, thrusters pulsed again, and Ion Cannon Twenty-Seven began to rotate, and the smaller projectors began to close in with the central shaft. Far below, the beams began to spin and spiral together, drawing closer to a single epicenter. Nod soldiers and vehicles burst into flames, and buildings were shorn apart as the shafts of destruction consolidated;
->The beams came together in a single bolt of massive power, transforming everything in the affected area into boiling plasma. The swirling, superheated matter began to dissipate.
->Then, Ion Cannon Twenty-Seven unleashed the ''majority'' of its stored energy,
->...A single blue-white bolt of searing ionized particles flashed from the heavens, struck the plasma, and everything went white. The ground shook, dust flying through the air from the shockwave of the resulting detonation.
->The light faded after several seconds, and the North Carolina badlands were still.
->Commander Karrde slowly exhaled as he looked upon the satellite feed. A three mile radius area had been reduced to blackened glass, the entire Nod base obliterated in a single flex of GDI firepower. Nearly every single Nod soldier, vehicle, and structure had been erased.
->Ion Cannon Twenty-Seven then went silent, and continued its orbit, waiting for new targeting data that would not come anytime soon.

->"With our rail-gun in orbit, Kasnia has the ultimate high ground. ''I'' am now the dominant military power on Earth. And there ''are'' going to be some changes." (takes out cue cards) "Item one!"

->'''Fred''': Well, we do have an orbital-range microwave cannon up there. Focuses the satellite's communications signals into a pinpoint beam. It can raise the temperature of the targeted area 1,000 degrees in less than 5 seconds. So, yeah, in theory, we could. That is, if we did that sort of thing. [[GreyAndGrayMorality Do we do that sort of thing?]]
->'''Wesley''': It might be the thing to do.
->'''Gunn''': Think someone won't notice us firing a sci-fi death ray from outer space?
->'''Fred''': Well, actually, the beam reads like cell phone static on most atmospheric scanning equipment.
