What if GDI and Nod failed to defeat CABAL during the Firestorm Crisis? With both organizations destroyed by CABAL, nothing was stopping the rogue AI from conquering the world, replacing humanity with cybernetics. The Forgotten, out of the way for much of the Firestorm Crisis, now find themselves being hunted down, conflicted between fortifying their sanctuaries and actively waging a guerrilla war for their own survival. The years of unchecked Tiberium growth would also eventually attract the Scrin, expecting Earth to be devoid of hostile life. Their ignorance would only end up thrusting them into the war between CABAL and the Forgotten mutants, a dangerous situation due to their unpreparedness but their desire for the Tiberium Ichor drives them to destroy anything that stands in their way. A new Tiberium War is about to begin between CABAL, the Forgotten, and the Scrin. Conquest, survival, addiction. For whom will you fight for?

Named after the legendary musician in Greek mythology, the Orpheus is CABAL's reiteration of one of GDI's feared weapons: the Disruptor. It's sonic weapon has been shown to be potent against most targets, using high frequency sonic waves to shatter structural foundations and the human body alike. It is also very effective at breaking down Tiberium, making it deadly against Tiberium-based lifeforms. While still able to destroy vehicles, heavier ones are able to resist the sonic waves better. Due to the heavy weight of it's weapon and immense power needed to lift it's fragile lightweight hover chassis off the ground, it is only able to cruise at lower speeds. The chassis is also rather unstable, requiring it to stop moving before it can fire it's weapon. This makes it vulnerable towards fast-moving raiders when in transit. The lack of anti-air weapons also makes it easy prey for aircraft.
