[edit] Biography
[edit] Nod Reunification
Vega secretly allied with Kane in the years prior to the Second Tiberium War[2]; at the time Kane was long thought dead by most of the world and was operating from hiding.[4] Vega main base of operations was in Honduras' it was built on an island around an old pre-Columbian pyramid.[2] Main power came from a hydroelectric dam in southern Mexico.[5]
[edit] The Outbreak of War
As Kane revealed himself and galvanized GDI, Vega's forces launched a surprise attack on Phoenix Base.[6] Vega was on hand to personally execute Tao, the base's commander.[7]
The Second Tiberium War went badly for Vega. The general was ordered to secure a Nod First Tiberium War-era "alien warship" from near the Sarajevo Temple and return it to Kane in Cairo. Instead Vega commandeered it to settle an "old score" in South America and ended up crash landing in the southern United States.[8] This error was compounded by GDI's subsequent capture of the ship.[9], although much of the technology was recovered for Nod.[8]
Tratos, the Forgotten leader, was rescued by GDI from Nod; in return the Forgotten gave GDI the location of Vega's base. An assault led by GDI Commander Michael McNeil overran the base. Vega's appeals for reinforcements fell on deaf ears; Kane was displeased with the general and opted to destroy the base with nuclear weapons. With no way to escape Vega overdosed on drugs and died after a brief interrogation at the hands of Commander McNeil.[2]
