Scrin Aircraft - Command and Conquer - Tiberium Lore

[@Jethild]

Wanted to clarify what I said at the beginning of the video about the Scrin fleet having spent an "unknown" amount of time in interstellar travel to the solar system and in stasis. The Intelligence Database says that the Scrin spent 9,210 cycles in stasis and 1,959 cycles in sublight journey from Ichor Hub. The issue here is that we don't know if 1 cycle is equal to 1 year in human time scale, hence why I said it was an unknown amount of time. Also as a couple of others have pointed out there are a couple of moments in the video where I say Nod "Banshee" aircraft when I meant to say Nod "Venom" aircraft which were the ones they used during the Third Tiberium War.

[@igncom1]

I personally doubt they have been here all that long. Even if Kane has. As the tiberium hadn't been on earth for all so long. And I doubt the scrin were sending on millennia old units through their portals to earth. (Reaper shard walkers are described as a modernisation of the old gun walker units, and so are unlikely in my mind to be very old.)

[@Gaggle_of_gays]

I was gona mention the banshee mixup lol

so banshee was not build from scrin technology ? And well if in CnC we still had scrin faction i will forgive it all that bad things and redesign.

[@Jethild]

@@neondead2.0.15 Well according to the TS manual, Banshee was designed based on "experiments with recovered alien technology." This alien technology is most likely in reference to the Tacitus which, while certainly an alien artifact, is not explicitly a Scrin artifact.

[@neondead2.0.15]

@@Jethild but banshee look so similar to that small scout planes from Scrin. And well Scrin is the most Op fraction in gameplay aspect (in tiberium wars) or only with them my gameplay tactic work.

@@TheArklyte I think the Motherships look quite different.

I once used a mothership a liiiiittle too close to my base. Wasn’t looking at it while my entire base was going up in flames. I had a tendril of power plants and base defenses moving out from my base’s center, near the end of which was where I used the mothership on some incoming enemy forces. I guess one of my base defenses was a bit too close to the blast and it just went from there. Didn’t know what I had done until I lost.

[@elderliddle2733]

Oof, that sucks. The mothership is a double edged sword. She can level your enemies, but you can get caught in collateral. Believe it or not, best use of the mothership to keep it out of harm’s way and level a base is to fire it near your forces as they attack the enemy base. The shockwave will expand from your forces to the base and level it.

They really should make another Tiberium game, "Command & Conquer: Tiberium Night", where the Scrin return and GDI has been preparing for them with reverse engineered Scrin tech. Tiberium is almost completely under control, yet the Scrin are able to boost its growth. After months of fighting and losing to the Scrin, an enlightened Kane returns, causing Nod to re-emerge. Together with GDI they finish off the invasion force. Leading to a new game: "Command & Conquer: Tiberian Universe", where they take the fight to their homeworld. Imagine space battles and planetary invasions, moving fleets around on a galactic overview Total War style

[@MeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeowww]

I really like how they dealed with several Alien Invasion nonsense in the Lore. Like, in many Alien Invasions, its just silly how such highly adavanced species get rekt by simple ballistic weaponry. You could think the same about the scrin, until you find out that this "Invasion Force" was nothing more then some Farmers going along there buisness. Humanities combined Forces of there mightiest Weaponry almost lost to the Scrin's equivalent of some Farmer going after Vermin with an old Double Barrel Shotgun.

No dude, the "mining fleet" had an actual military attachment to deal with any residual resistance left from a naturally occurring tiberium explosion. I hate this piece of misinformation that they were somehow civilians, those were actual military units you fought the only difference between a harvesting fleet and a full invasion would be scale. I mean it's just so ridiculous, what good would ANY of those units have been for a strictly mining operation? Sure let's bring flying aircraft carriers and tanks to mine tiberium because why not. I know let's bring weapons that power up by destroying the thing we're here to harvest, that's a great idea. Pay attention to the game, the thought that they were civilians is just head cannon and stupid head cannon at that.

[@MeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeowww]

@@chrisdupuis2523 In comparisen to the scrin, humans where primitives, heck maybe even animals. Would you bring a top modern fully automatic machinegun with grenadlauncher attachment with you to deal with some vermin ? No, nobody would, they would take a simple shotgun or hunting rifle at best. The scrin went to earth to seed and harvest some tiberium, not to go to war with an equal enemy, it would be a total waste to send you´re "Top of the Line" Military forces to protect some harvester that at best have to deal with some primitives. I think the harvester protection forces where like a mix of vermin exterminators and riot police forces, as they start slowly ingame with some weak but fast "search and destroy" units and later feild some serious mass destruction, battlefield controling units. Also, look a bit in the lore, you can find hints to that, like the reaper 17 shard walker describing the gun walker as an outdated design that needed upgrading. I don´t think you will find gun walkers in scrin invasion forces then.

Nice to see the Scrin get more attention. I always seeing mods come up with new units for them. Most C&C factions are easy to design for (not saying I could do it but their aesthetic makes it easy for something to fit into them).

I've just gone back to Tiberium Wars and have yet to try installing any mods. I've heard plenty of good things from "Tiberium Essence", but I'd like to ask your opinion on what mods do you believe introduce the best new units for the Scrin. And by "best", I mean in terms of them fitting aesthetically with their alien design, not necessarily being good in gameplay.

II, the Montauk, and the Core Defender. These three clear out a large staging area for the MCVs to come through and a decently sized escort force. Periodically reinforcements will pour through, as long as the epic units survive. You will not be able to build anymore. Push through the heavy Scrin defenses and forces by any means necessary. When you do that, you begin the siege of the Overlords fortress. Numerous endings await based on how you finish the mission.

Wouldn't that kind of scenario (storywise) end with Kane having to try and reach some diplomatic agreement with the Scrin? Between Earth and the mining corporation that came along? Cause the finest technologies of both GDI and Nod were almost beaten by what was later revealed to be *outdated private security.* So it stands to reason, Earth itself would have NO CHANCE against the Scrin's finest military technology, let alone with GDI and Nod fighting as seperate factions! And heck, even then, who's to say Kane himself would be the one to take that initiative? His modus operandi always seems to be about exploitation and deceit. He strikes me more as attempting to backstab the Scrin or use their Threshold Towers to "ascend"/get out of the planet. I feel higher ups from GDI and *some sensible Nod Commander* would have to be the ones in trying to reach negoyiations with the Scrin.

I’m surprised you didn’t cover the more unknown Alien ships that maybe of Scrin design also. Particularly the alien space ship from the second Tiberium war and the UFO from C&C renegade in addition to some rather strange vessels only seen in the cutscenes.

[@Jethild]

Well like you said, those ships are more unknown as to their origins. So we can't say with 100% certainty that they are Scrin, which is what I wanted the focus of this video to be. In regards to the ship from Tiberian Sun, it was built based off information that the Brotherhood retrieved from the Tacitus. While the Tacitus itself is an alien artifact, it's true origin is unknown. So we cannot say for certain that it is an artifact of the Scrin, and that the design of the ship is based off the Scrin. Though there is the theory, based off Westwood's CnC Tiberian Sun story bible, that the Tacitus was from an ancient alien race that had fought the Scrin in the past and stored all their knowledge about them in the Tacitus. However, it's questionable how much of that information actually got carried over to EA after Westwood was shut down and assigned a new team to handle the CnC IP. I did make mention of the Renegade ship in my Scrin faction video. It could be Scrin due to it's purple and blue color, but the overall design of it doesn't really match that of the ships we see during the Third Tiberium War. Though Westwood may have had a different interpretation of the Scrin compared to the devs that made CnC3. Again, we just don't know how much of that info was actually carried over. As to the vessels in the cutscenes, for CnC 3, the large ship you see at around 6:33 in the video is actually an early design of the Planetary Assault Carrier. The thumbnail for this video is the concept art that that ship is based off of. For some reason during production the devs decided to change the design of the PAC to the current in-game version.

[@pyrosauria7444]

The ship you defend in the early gdi sequence of tiberian sun is definitely of scrin origin. Unknown type though

@@Mglue3 In one of the cutscenes during the Nod campaign, Kane himself says "The underground hangar you are about to enter houses an alien warship, constructed at the end of the last war. The technology in this ship is more valuable to the Brotherhood than anything that has come before." And during the GDI campaign after assaulting Vega's base, McNeil interrogates him about the technology on the UFO, and he says "Kane didn't steel it. He made it." Later in the game during both campaigns we find out it wasn't the ship itself that was important to Kane, but the Tacitus that was inside of it.

The reason that it's impossible to tell if their units are biological or mechanical is because they're naturally evolved mechanical organisms: they literally are "machines, but alive".

[@serinahighcomasi2248]

Interesting hypothesis. Personally I’d believed their infantry and maybe aircraft at least to be some kind of synthorg or nanorg; a ‘living’ synthetic being but ‘grown’ much like an organic creature does; their biomimetic appearance being a nice side effect of their growth/assembly process.

[@djsUltra]

The Scrin were so cool.

[@Yellow13Firestorm]

7:04 Banshees? I think you mean vertigos, no? Or venoms. Banshees weren't a thing in tib war 3.

[@Jethild]

Yes, I got the 2 mixed up. I mentioned this in the pinned comment.

[@PNPAT24]

They should just make a new tib 4. Scrin main invasion would make a great storyline

[@JRYYD]

Nice work, what will be next.

[@brothers_of_nod]

I did want to see a game where the Scrin tried a second invasion; Command and Conquer Tib wars 2: Ichor boogaloo.

[@Warlordalexi]

Didn't you mean 'Venom craft' instead of 'Banshees'? Nod Banshees are TibWar 2, though I was sad not to see those UFO things again this time around

[@RC-qv9in]

He added a “pinned” comment that it should have been venom.

[@LINJ638]

Are you going to make a Space Stations, Kodiak, Dropship and Mammoth Mk II as your next video???

[@Geshiko-GuP]

imagine a command and conquer with space combat, as GDI, the scrin, and potentiall Nod fight for the earth orbit, than moon, mars, and into the solar system

[@hypersonicaurora2]

USA arsenal next? Love 2 see the aircraft

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

I thought the devastator was a lobster. Pretty cool that the weapon has my name. I didn't know that but they were one of my favourite units to use along with PACs to protect them. Flattens entire bases really quick. At least when I'm not using the mothership to nuke everything.

[@YourCRTube]

I can only hope, with videos like this, a new generation will discover C&C

[@glitchtrap3111]

why does this feel so much like starcraft but i just noticed these dudes need gravity stabilizires does that mean starcraft dudes are advanced than them since they dont need a gravitational stabilizer structures? even the zerg adapted for it they even needed repair drones when there is a auto repair for machines and structures

[@joshuakotrc5287]

Jethild its me Joshua lang Kotrc and i did a drawing of BROTHERHOOD of nod and scrin

[@gnanlitch9543]

Ah, I love all this channels arising, this game was like underground culture, now there's even shitposting (refer to scorched earth channel), tg analysis and more.

[@4G12]

I think it's pretty safe to assume that almost, if not all scrin units are tiberium based cyborgs.

[@serinahighcomasi2248]

Synthorgs, to be exact. Synthetic living beings constructed from the bottom up.

[@MrDibara]

@@serinahighcomasi2248 First time hearing that term. *Awesome.* 👍

[@gmradio2436]

I have an unpopular opinion. I would like to hear about Tib 4 vehicles and tech, but hear me out. As theoretical designs.

[@MrDibara]

Or, hear me out: _the Scrin enslave all of humanity and their once military organizations, GDI and Nod, are forced to serve them as part of their Ichor mining operations in other planets of the galaxy._ _The vehicles they employ for this:_ *the units we see from CnC 4.* Nah, for real, the whole walker mobile base thing looks like something both GDI and Nod would develop for planetary exploration! As in, the enviroments they'll get thrown in is so unknown, they need to fit as many installations and structures inside one mobile thing in order to safely explore the region of some unknown planet that the Scrin decided to throw them at. So then we could have missions/Maps where the local enviroment and atmosphere is similar enough to Earth's that you can use the traditional base building gameplay of the older games, AND we could have missions/Maps where the enviroment is so hostile and inospitable that the giant walker base is the only way to consistently build vehicles and harvest Tiberium (or Ichor, as the Scrin like to call it). And then maybe, you'd have to advance to a certain point where you can build, say, an Atmosphere Cleanser or a Terraforming Platform and this structure allows you to finally build bases in the traditional way, but only over a limited ammount of space. The territory on the radius of this special structure. I dunno, man! I just think the mobile base walker was a cool concept that was horrifically misused in CnC 4! It could've been awesome! It could've worked! *But they basically shit on it.*

[@kranianus5559]

The Mothership, the ''Wheel'' looks like it was inspired of the Ophanim angel type from Biblical sources. The middle of it looks like a buzzer hive which also sort of resembles an infant human shape in some way. The Scrin lore or just the race is truly a soup of unquestioned amazement that needs more explanation and research to be made upon..

[@sircharlesvonpimpsmack7667]

Bro get in, new c&c lore just dropped.

[@Ratich]

Banshees were a Tib sun unit and weren't present in Tib Wars. Venoms and Vertigos were Nod's aircraft of choice in Tib Wars and Kane's Wrath.

[@bluestealth7559]

First? Also, just wgat I needed for this day, great video.

[@impracticalnuke]

Scrin Mothership: slow as hell, but will destroy countries

[@MrDibara]

Always loved to distract my enemies with Devastators and PACs, while my cosy Mothership circled around and bombarded their base *from their Power Plants.* 😈👾

[@BFMert]

I was always wondering the relation between the scrin ship in tiberian sun and scrin we met in CNC3

[@matsuhikotakagawa8060]

From what I read and watch, the TS Scrin was Nod's attempt to replicate an old-original Scrin spaceship obtained through the Tacitus... It was still being developed... until the wise crack-pot general VEGA took it.

[@billyguess0627]

7:25 maybe its bio-mechanical

[@iHawke]

i just realized that these videos are just game manuals in video form

[@hujiaming6151]

So when will this full invasion force of Scrin arrive?

[@RC-qv9in]

We don’t know. I guess whenever EA gets around to it.

[@MrDibara]

@@RC-qv9in *So never, basically.* 😑

[@yagdtigercommander]

It still just amazes me that the entire scrin fleet was nothing more than mining expedition basically. Where the actual combat force was nothing more than a glorified escort/ security detail. If it could cause all that destruction just security force for the harvesting operations and was nothing more than a diversion to keep GDI and NOD distracted from what the Scrin were doing on Earth. Who knows what a full scale military invasion from the Scrin would be like. If humanity just barely managed to fend off an expeditionary force that mainly focused their attention on harvesting Tiberium Instead of solely on exterminating or conquering humanity. Then Humanity would be most likely be doomed if the Scrin overlord decides its time take the gloves off and go all out against humanity throwing everything in the Scrin arsenal with the intention of dealing with humanity once and for all. Yah were boned for sure lol XD.

[@Ratich]

I really think for future videos you should use the Scrin's original Blue colour from Tiberium Wars, rather than the purple from Kane's Wrath.

[@TricksterPoi]

Not sure if someone noticed, but wasn't the nod aircraft was based on the scrin stormrider?

[@coastalvan1978]

How long were the Scrin on earth? like it feels like a couple of weeks sense the scrin campaign is so short and attention on them was limited but then there's lore details that suggest they have been around for months. So how long?

[@tomoe1453]

nice :)
