Dr. Thrax improves upon GLA’s toxin research and not only does he give out toxin-based weapons to his units by default, but also gives them to units that other GLA cells do not, and improves their power further with his signature Anthrax Gamma upgrade. His main weakness is the absence of all stealth capabilities, save for Jarmen Kell.

They can be either turned into their real versions or detonated. Friendly forces can differentiate fake structures from real ones by the rectangle around them.

GLA Hole
Unbuildable
When a GLA structure is destroyed, a GLA Hole is visible in its rubble. If the GLA Hole is left standing, a Worker will emerge from it and rebuild the structure which used to be there, free of charge, and when he is done, he will go back inside. Essentially, a GLA building is only truly destroyed if the GLA Hole beneath it is destroyed as well.
