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?
The Outrider is a small hovering drone used for recon and patrol. It's lightweight chassis propelled by three hover drives enable it to glide above the terrain at high speeds while sensory equipment located in it's turret provides it with a large visual range and stealth detection. Using transformation panels, it can also switch between three different variants depending on what infantry "pilots" it. Unoccupied, it is armed with a camera head which it can use to lock onto targets and have nearby allies prioritize their destruction. While carrying an infantry, it will be armed with a low-yield laser cannon effective against infantry and light vehicles. If an engineer-type infantry resides inside it, it will instead gain a nanobeam projector which it can use to apply repair nanites to damaged vehicles and cyborgs. Highly versatile and cheap to produce, it is generally unsuitable for extended combat.
