See Temple Prime for more information Kane has also erected a new Temple at the site of the one destroyed in Sarajevo. Dubbed Temple Prime, it is a massive structure spreading both over and under the ground level, beyond a dry moat that once was the river running in front of the original Temple. Strangely, the Temple seems to have been moved closer to the river than it was originally.
Transmissions from within Temple Prime have shown that it contains the traditional red stained glass windows, and also metalwork depicting Tiberium in plant-like ways. It also contained bizarre mechanisms which look like red Tiberium crystals with screens covered in scrolling jargon, but have no discernible purpose.
It was a fortress, with monumental towers overlooking the battlefield located on thick, titanium walls with ground carved in stone on which Nod facilities were located. Three Ion Disruption installations were located at key points around the temple to prevent the Ion Cannon from striking against Kane. His headquarters, housing the mainframes and the command center was a large circular chapel with towering red stained buildings and two adjacent crescent-shaped towers enclosing the chapel between them. Underground, a large cavern filled with liquid tiberium was located along with Kane's device.
The first GDI attempt to besiege Temple Prime, before the Liquid Tiberium Bomb could be fully assembled, failed. A Nod Commander managed to successfully guide the needed components around the GDI base and then fortify the temple. After a skirmish, Nod reinforcements arrived and finished off the GDI presence. However, these forces soon turned out to be a renegade faction, ordering the surrender of Temple Prime. The Commander managed to destroy these renegades before being sent to Australia.
Following a second, successful GDI siege by their own brilliant commander, one that culminated in the destruction of the Ion Disruptors, Temple Prime was obliterated by an Ion Cannon strike ordered by Redmond Boyle, which set off a chain reaction that destroyed much of the region, turned the area into a Red Zone and drew the Scrin to Earth.
