Coincidentally, Kane also revealed himself to the Brotherhood at this time, which had the effect of uniting the fractured segments of the Brotherhood of Nod.Published by Electronic Arts, who became Westwood Studios publisher in 1998, Tiberian Sun was released on 27 August 1999.
The events of Tiberian Sun take place in the year 2030, following the events of the Second Tiberium War and those immediately prior. Despite winning the First Tiberium War with the Ion Cannon strike on the Sarajevo Temple complex, GDI forces were unable to account for the body of Kane; a singular fact that the GDI High Council later saw as a costly oversight. This disappearance made Kane immortal in the eyes of some of the Brotherhood, which allowed Nod forces to continue operating even thirty years later. GDI, however, mitigated Nods effectiveness by installing a puppet leader ( Hassan ) over the largest splinter faction of Nod. Slavik, who saw Hassan as a traitor to Kane, overthrew Hassans leadership, while Kane simultaneously revealed himself to the Brotherhood. Immediately after, Kane initiated combat operations on a number of GDI positions and contacted General James Solomon, aboard the GDSS Philadelphia. These events marked the beginning of the Second Tiberium War. ![]() From the Phoenix base, however, McNeil attempted to and did secure an alien warship Nods General Vega crash landed, although he was unable to secure any significant hardware. He did, however, encounter a Forgotten mutant by the name of Umagon, who promised the support of her Forgotten comrades in return for GDI support in rescuing their leader, Tratos. Upon rescuing Tratos, Solomon sent McNeil to South America to assault General Vegas stronghold. McNeil successfully captured Vegas stronghold and attempted to interrogate Vega, however, Vegas drug-induced insanity and Kane launching a nuclear strike on the facility prevented McNeil from getting anything more than cryptic hints about the origin of the alien warship. The speculation about the alien ship was quickly put on hold, as Nod forces under the command of Anton Slavik attacked and captured GDIs fortress in Hammerfest, Norway. Commander McNeil led an amphibious assault group into the base, evicted the occupying Nod force, and retrieved the sonic crystals being held in the base from Slaviks forces. In the process, McNeils brother, on station in Hammerfest, was killed by Nod forces. General Solomon, then contacted McNeil about Kanes new chemical missile facilities and Banshee fighter factories. For GDI to successfully conclude operations in Europe, both of these threats were to be dealt with. In the middle of these operations, the mutant Umagon was captured by Nod and taken to Kanes pyramid in Cairo to complete her Divination. ![]() While en route to Egypt, McNeils command ship was grounded by an ion storm; however, after holding off Nod forces, he continued uninterrupted. He discovered Nod was also attempting to set up ICBM launchers to target and destroy the Philadelphia. The events of the Second Tiberium War eventually culminated in McNeil defeating Kane (and Nod) at Nods Cairo missile launch facility, narrowly averting a chemical missile launch that could change the fate of the humanity. This ending is considered canon and is followed by events in Firestorm.
