Ion Storm Missiles are the ultimate weapon only few forgotten factions have access to. The weapon was discovered while Tratos and his science team where studying the Tacitus on ways to prevent ion storms from forming. These missiles release materia gathered from tiberium evolved flora into the air around the detonation site. During natural ion storms there are only small quantities of this materia in the air, but the missile spreads a large concentration of the materia over a small area. This causes an extremely violent and contained, if short lived ion storm to form. The ion storm is capable of destroying entire bases. Heavier buildings, such as refineries and warfactories, are able to withstand the lightning strikes and due to their large size they attract the lightning. Since the Forgotten lack long range ballistic missiles, they have to use medium range missile launchers to deliver the weapon close enough to be fired. This naturally gives the enemy an opportunity to take it out. Once the missile is launched, the launcher vehicle is lost in the process. Friendly units are recommended to move away from the vehicle before the missile is launched. While this weapon no doubt gives the forgotten a very powerful advantage against GDI and Nod, Tratos is rumored to be very dissapointed on how good intentions turned into a weapon of mass destruction.

Seriously though, I didn't have any artists working specifically for the mod so I used and edited alot of the premade stuff.
