The space command uplink is a GDI structure in Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath that grants access to advanced support powers.

Background[]

This self-contained launch platform allows GDI to deploy high tech support weapons and send Zone troopers to the battlefield from orbit. EMP weapons in the form of shockwave artillery can also be utilized.[1]

Game structure[]

The space command uplink grants a commander three important aids, the first being the ability to launch shockwave artillery ballistic missiles, based on sonic emitter technology, at foes across the battlefield.

The second is the ability to call in Zone trooper drop pods from space to land at any location. After a brief cooldown time following re-entry, three squads of veteran Zone Troopers will be at the commander's immediate disposal in the drop zone, allowing for the ultimate in surprise attacks.

The third is its large sight radius - placed near the front of the base, it can allow a commander plenty warning as to any unstealthed units approaching his or her base and thus plenty of distance to decide how to deal with it accordingly.

In Kane's Wrath, it can also call down orbital strikes and supersonic air strikes. If the player is leading ZOCOM forces, then Zone raiders will be deployed instead of Zone troopers.
