Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
The story of the Warden Drone is one of the rare quintessential American success stories to emerge during the post-war depression of the early 2030s. Three US Army veterans, bound by friendship from years of service during the War on Terror, started their own tech company. Their mission statement was to develop low-cost unmanned weapon systems informed by their own combat experience. With a risky investment of their personal fortunes and aggressive crowdfunding on an international scale, they developed the Wu Alvarez Renshaw Directed Energy Neutraliser, or WARDEN for short.
The Warden is a laser-armed air defence system, specially designed to counter light aviation threats like UAVs, helicopters and even low-flying aircraft. It is a weapon born of painful experience when US forces had been surprised many times by GLA-operated aircraft and commercial drones during the war. In addition, the Warden is equipped with launchers for special decoy flares that linger in mid-air to confuse enemy air defence systems.
The success of the Warden was largely thanks to international demand, as many countries that felt threatened by Russian and Chinese ambitions after the US withdrawal turned to any conceivable source for military hardware at a time when American politics focused inward. Soon, orders for Wardens from around the world overwhelmed the production capabilities of the young enterprise that operated out of a warehouse turned 3D printing assembly in Milwaukee.
As the economic crisis subsided and the US embarked to return onto the world stage, a leading drone manufacturer purchased the rights to the Warden and initiated mass production for allied countries and eventually the US military itself. The Warden became a key item in the new AI-heavy doctrine, acting as the innermost layer of air defence in every company, followed by the mid-ranged Avenger-L and the long-ranged Patriot, forming an impenetrable network against air attacks on US forces.

Cute Shota
A moving laser anti-AA. Interesting.
Cyclops turret tells you to never talk to him or his sons again
Obviously, the United States has received assistance from NOD
They got the praying Mantis (laughs)
Te secabo
Somehow i'd wish this be bigger and can dig-in, so it takes place of Cyclops as a "partially-mobile" version.
cute and small :)
But dangerous XD
Reading the bit about small operation in Milwaukee immediately made me think of the startup bunch as the hosts of Red Letter Media, except **** talking ROTRverse vehicles instead of movies.
"Thaaat's riiight, Wu! They brought back the light tanks! And they made so many of them they are now giving them to cops, instead of patrol cars! *laughs*"
"Damn I hope ours don't learn of this, I bet they won't be satisfied with their humvees anymore!"
I was in fact thinking of RLM when I wrote it as a Milwaukee-based enterprise, mainly because it's a US city that may be recognised outside the US, but -isn't- as hyper-prominent as the likes of New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, etc.
Avenger but Drone Without PDL
And without the targeting laser
