"Warning: Scud Storm Detected!"
- Advisor
A Scud Storm was a building armed with nine toxin-filled Scud missiles, mixed with both explosives and some sort of corrosive agent. Due to the range, destructive power, and expense of construction, this weapon was considered a 'Superweapon'.
Actually, the Scud Storm is the main reason for the USA and the China to engage the GLA, because the Scud Storm moved the balance of the world in favor of the GLA, at the cost of the USA and China.
Like all GLA buildings, it would leave a GLA Hole behind when destroyed. If the GLA hole wasn't destroyed quickly a Worker would emerge and begin to rebuild the Scud Storm, at no cost to the GLA.

[edit] Counters
The building itself had no defence against an attack and was a large target. It took some time to fuel the missiles and thus could not be fired immediately after construction. As with all weapons of mass destruction; however, once the Scuds were launched, there was no way to defend against them, meaning the only effective counters involved destroying the Scud Storm prior to fueling. Once missiles were launched, replacement missiles were delivered via tunnel network.
[edit] Usage
The first known use of this weapon was against attacking US forces in Baghdad, but the GLA commander missed his target and instead made a considerable number of civilians in a crowded market square taste the poison of anthrax. As the only drawback of the weapon was its expense, and the length of time that it took to construct the weapon (one reason these were called 'superweapons' is that the weapon itself had no real drawback), these weapons were deployed by GLA commanders as much as possible. As with all Superweapons, it could not destroy other Superweaopns or enemy (or friendly) command centers.
[edit] Generals
All of the GLA generals had slightly different Scud Storms:
- Prince Kassad could camouflage his Scud Storm, to be invisible until it was fired.
- General Rodall Juhziz replaced the Anthrax piece with more explosives, making his Scud Storm even more powerful, but it did not contaminate the area anymore.
- Dr. Thrax replaced a part of the explosives with more Anthrax, making his Scud Storm less explosive, but it highly contaminated the area.
