We all knew anyway, but EA has finally opened its mouth regarding Command & Conquer 3's third, swarming alien faction, in the pages of the US Games for Windows magazine.
Joining classic CnC combatants GDI and Nod, the pesky tiberian space visitors look more like something out of Westwood's other RTS series Dune, with purple insect-like Shock Troopers and larger six-legged friends straight from the set of Starship Troopers.
Apparently, instead of traditional war factories the bug-like ETs use massive portals to warp their units to the battlefield, and prefer ripping their enemies to shreds with infantry-level Razor Drones to lugging weapons and guns around.
That's all we know for now, but we'll be sure to let you know when EA offers more info on the third faction, along with the first screenshots and movies of the purple critters in action.
