This superweapon was Yuri's trump card with which he intended to conquer the world.

[edit] Description

The Psychic Dominator housed what could have been a giant brain, but is unknown at this time. It is known that the device could store extreme amounts of psychic power, and then release it to mind control a group of units or vehicles in an area, though this required a significant build up of energy. Once charged up it would send out a huge tidal wave of psychic energy that could completely conquer human minds in an area and use telekinetic power to tear apart nearby structures.

[edit] Counters

The only real weakness was that for the amplifiers to continue to gather psychic energy, they required a steady flow of large amounts of electricity from Yuri's base power plant structures. It could be delayed from firing if the bases power was knocked out. Furthermore, the device was extremely expensive, and although heavily armored, was unarmed save for the massive psychic domination, which was not the best weapon to use against enemy forces actively firing upon the dominator.An effecftive tactic against the AI would be to send alot of cheap infantry somewhere away from your base.The AI would fire at those infantry spareing your base.Base defences could then mop them up.

[edit] Usage

A network of three Psychic Dominators (according to the map shown in the intro, there were a few dozen of them around the world) were used to conquer the minds of almost everyone on Earth during the Psychic Dominator Disaster, though the one on Alcatraz island was delayed from firing due to damage to a nuclear power plant (that Yuri captured from the Soviets) that was being used to power it. Yuri then sent his forces to capture local Tech Civilian Power Plants but his forces were defeated by the last of the Allies who used these power plants to power the Time Machine and go back to before Yuri completed his network and attack them then.

Yuri employed other Psychic Dominators (one in Egypt and one in the Antarctic) against the Allies and the Soviets a few other times. Yuri captured Albert Einstein and attempted to have him improve the Psychic Dominator in Egypt but Allied forces rescued him and captured the Psychic Dominator. Albert Einstein had sabotaged the machine to explode after its next use but the Allies did get to use it once against Yuri's forces before it did. The last one in Antarctica was destroyed by a joint Allied-Soviet strike force.

After the Disastrous War, Soviet time travel, carried out by Premier Cherdenko, erased this superweapon from existance. However, the technological cult of the Empire of the Rising Sun had developed a similar weapon - Psionic Decimator. While this lacks the power to mind control enemies, its psychic power can cause significant destruction.
