Albania

Albania
Continent:	Europe
Affiliation:	N/A (red zone) (Nod before the Third Tiberium War)

Albania was a country in Yellow Zone Y-1 that was home to a major Nod supply depot during the Third Tiberium War. When GDI went on the offensive, they targeted this stockpile of weapons.

The base had a powerful perimeter defense, and GDI had to infiltrate the area with infantry to destroy these defenses prior to the assault. When reinforcements arrived, Nod took note and detonated a bridge that spanned a canyon between the GDI troops and the supply depot. GDI forces were diverted North, so that they could destroy a series of SAM batteries and allow an engineering team to be airlifted in.

When the bridge was repaired, GDI forces carefully skirted around the bases perimeter, their numbers too few to accomplish the mission in the face of severe Nod resistence. The GDI forces were capable, however, of wiping out resistence on a ridge overlooking the base. An engineer was then sent in to the ridge's Reinforcements bay, and Mammoth 27s and Firehawk Multirole jets.

After capturing two more reinforcement bays in the area, GDI turned it's attention to their main objective. While there were huge numbers of vehicles at the depot, many had been parked and idle when GDI arrived; and with the battle, vehicle crews couldn't reach their tanks. Also, in a grievous oversight Fuel Barrels were stored in close proximity to the vehicles. GDI targeted these drums, and the chain reaction reduced most of the Nod motorpool to wreckage.

Then, GDI forces pushed on Nod's main base in the area and leveled it. Following this action, the commander of the battle took part in the final raid on Nod's base of operations, Temple Prime.

Following the Liquid Tiberium Explosion, it is likely that the fallout caused by the blast reduced all of Albania into an uninhabitable Red Zone.
