SCORPION (Organization)

The SCORPION ORGANIZATION (officially the NAFT Scorpion Mujaheedin) is an organisation with a design loosely based on COBRA and NOD.

The organization is the true military power of Tiberian Destiny and recruits itself from terror organisation – preferably muslim organisations, but others are incorporated as well. SCORPION's predecessor was a an israeli energy company called Zion Corp., a sub-contractor of The Shin Ra Corp. The corporation was originally engaged in the exploitation of oil fields in Arabia. When Tiberium impacted on Earth, Zion Corp. sought to use the substance as a source of energy and raw materials. However, this was only a way to finance the primary goal: the founding of a Zion state, and the company employed a large force own own military, mostly sub-contractor security firms and mercenaries to protect its interests in the arab world and to further its goal. However, the military was also backed by a large group of fanatics that would give their life for Zion. When Tiberium-related mutations, scarcity of fertile land and general anarchy increased, Zion Corp. was able to hold its position due to the massive, well-defended industrial complexes it had set up all over Israel and several middle-east nations. The corporation adopted a more religious, and first of all, a more militaristic ideology and reemerged from the initial chaos follwing the impact of the Tiberium meteorite as the Scorpion Organization (ZION CORP. and SCORPION actually contain the same letters - except for the abbrevational "." and the "Z", which became "S"). The organisation's forces, called Scorpions, are highly fanatic and willingly give their life for the organisation and it's semi-religious ideology, called The Evangelion Of Kane, which is based on the jewish Kabbalah and the muslim Qu'ran, salted with prophecies and comments by Kane. SCORPION often works closely with the Syndicate, Nod, COBRA, HYDRA, SPECTRE, the Legion Of Doom, the GLA, the Shin Ra, MARS, ARES and other minor organisations that are either terrorist groups or further international terrorism through arms trade or similar. Scorpion recruits it's members mostly from the poor, unemployed masses of third world nations, but has also members in the upper ranks of society. However, unlike one would think of a muslim organisation, there is no feeling of brotherhood between the members of the organisation. Instead, there is hard competition and only the fanatism unites the organisation behind it's goals, propably taken over from the capitalist origins of the organization.
