《命令与征服3：泰伯利亚战争》情报数据库GDI档案—关于Nod兄弟会(4/10)
GDI views Nod as a dangerous, virulent, and inexplicably self-sustaining terrorist group obsessed with accelerating the worst ecological catastrophe in history, led by a charismatic and brilliant sociopath named Kane. The Brotherhood sees itself quite differently. Nod believes that it is the agent of change for a world in the throes of transition to a new order, the representative of the poor and the oppressed, and a foil to the previously unchecked power of GDI.
Nod has the people, resources, organization, and raw military power necessary to stand against GDI and wage war on a global scale. Yet the Brotherhood of Nod isn't a country; it's a strange new hybrid organization that has the combined characteristics of a religious movement, a multinational corporation, and a nation-state. Given the awesome demands of modern warfare, with its terrible cost and vast scale, Nod's ability to go toe-to-toe with GDI is astonishing.
Nod is able to recruit thousands of new members every month from the desperate populations of the borderlands. Their political, military, and logistical operations are decentralized and buried deep inside crumbling cities, towns, and outposts in the decaying Yellow Zones. A vast and sophisticated infrastructure is disguised from GDI, and Nod has perfected the art of moving military assets and forces quickly over long distances without detection, even by satellite or drone aircraft with the latest generation sensors.
Nod's core organization is very sophisticated and high-tech but they also have a large guerilla force composed of hastily trained and minimally equipped recruits from the Yellow Zones. Nod's field forces are an interesting mix of low tech "militia" troops and smaller numbers of highly trained, elite soldiers equipped with state of the art communications gear and the most advanced weapon systems available.
Nod's military assets are experimental and exotic in both appearance and function, but the durability of their units is suspect. Nod engineers are not afraid to risk human life and will often sacrifice safety and protection for increased abilities and speed. Their high-end military hardware runs on Tiberium and tends to be fast but vulnerable, lethal but unstable. Nod offensive weapons deployed on vehicles range from rockets, machine guns, and flame throwers to toxins, lasers, and nuclear weapons. They also have a number of Tiberium-based weapons.
GDI认为Nod是一个危险，恶毒，难以理解如何独立存在的恐怖组织。他们痴迷于促进历史上最严重的生态灾难，由一位极具号召力（charismatic的意思为有号召力的，但同时也有“蒙受神恩的”等意思，在此不做歧义分析），才华横溢的反社会人士凯恩领导。兄弟会对自己的看法则截然不同，Nod相信他们是在世界向新秩序过渡的痛苦时变革的推动者，是穷人和受压迫者的代表，是对从前GDI膨胀权力的制约。
Nod拥有反抗GDI和在全球发动战争所需的人员，资源，组织和未经训练的军事力量。然而，Nod兄弟会并不是一个国家；它是一个奇怪的新型混合组织，拥有宗教运动，跨国公司与民族国家的共同特征。鉴于现代战争所需的可怕成本与庞大规模，Nod具有的与GDI正面交锋的能力令人吃惊。
Nod每月能够从边境绝望的人中招募无数新成员，他们的政治，军事和后勤运作分散，深藏于衰败黄区的破碎城市，乡镇和前哨站中。庞大而复杂的基础设施在未被GDI发现的情况下建立，并且Nod已经完善了隐秘快速且长距离转移军事资产与部队的方法，即使是通过卫星或配备最新一代传感器的无人机也无法发现。
Nod的核心组织非常复杂且高科技，但他们也有他们有一支庞大的游击队，由从黄区仓促训练而装备简陋的新兵组成。Nod的作战部队是一种有趣的低科技“民兵”部队与少数训练有素士兵的混合，他们之中的精锐步兵装备着能获得的最先进的通讯设施和武器系统。
Nod的军事资产从外观和功能上都是实验性且奇特的，但是其耐用性令人怀疑。Nod工程师不惧怕拿生命冒险，往往会牺牲安全性和防护性来提升能力和速度。他们的高端军事装备基于泰伯利亚，快速但脆弱，致命却不稳定。Nod在载具上部署的攻击性武器范围从火箭弹，机枪，火焰喷射器到毒素，激光和核武器。他们也有大量的泰基武器。
