Story:

During the First Tiberium War the daughter of Dr. Ignatio Mobius, Sydney, was kidnapped. The commando Nick Parker was tasked to find and rescue her. He had to overcome many hurdles, until Havoc found her. Sydney was displaced into the Temple of Nod for Tiberium experiments. After Havoc fighted through the whole Nod base, overcoming an Obelisk of Light and the Temple was hit by the Ion Cannon, Havoc could save her at the last minute.

Trivia:

• Renegade is the first C&C action game: A first-person shooter!
• Renegade was released March 1, 2002 and was the last C&C game by Westwood Studios.
• The shooter was originally scheduled for a release in fall 2001 and as a reaction to the delay Westwood produced an ironical video having Havoc invading the Westwood Studios and putting some pressure on the developers.
• Westwood has heavily modified its licensed SurRender 3D engine and developed it further as W3D engine, since (according to a spokesman) no other engine could fulfill the requirements of Renegade at that time.
• Renegade is full of secrets: There's a lot to discover, e.g. the tomb of Abel, Seth inside a cryo chamber or the workplace of the Netrunners.
• The demo is available here! (version 1.09)
• Renegade takes place during the First TW; thus during the events of TD. It should originally end at the beginning of TS.
• Also in this "Tiberium based" title exists an extraterrestrial space ship: It is featured in the penultimate mission.
• One could not only drive diverse vehicles like tanks and buggies, but also control aircrafts like the Orca.
• Renegade has of course a multiplayer mode, too: Next to the usual modes, the C&C mode is truly a special one (see "Multiplayer C&C Mode" serial). You have to defend your base while trying to destroy the enemy's one.
• The Renegade theme can be downloaded here.
• The music of Renegade features mostly remixes from the ones of C&C1.
• You could write emails to Nick, Tanya, Yuri and co.; read through this interesting answer from Tanya:

  Dear Tanya!
  I have been a big fan of yours for ages, watching your every movement in both the classic Red Alert and modern masterpiece Red Alert two. Is the cause of your drastic change of appearance between RA and RA2 due to:
  a) Excessive chronoshifting?
  b) Over exposure to Tiberium (the fact that you've gone into the future where you are exposed to Tiberium is shown in RA3)?
  c) Neither?
  Thanks a lot for your time!
  Hugs and kisses,
  - wm
  
  Hi WM.
  What? A girl's not allowed to change her look once in a while? Not only is change good for the soul, but it makes it more difficult for those commie-creeps to I.D. me on the street. By the way, chronoshifting doesn't do anything to alter your physical appearance. It does give you a nice buzz though. As far as being exposed to Tiberium, I can't say that I've ever seen the stuff, but according to my pal Havoc, the radiation gives you a great tan.
  Love,
  Tanya

  Tanya said she had never seen Tiberium, but according to her pal Havoc, it casts a nice complexion on the skin. Assuming this answer is canonical, both have to meet during the same epoch; that is the time of Tiberium after 1995! Either Tanya was really old or has toyed around with a time machine.
• Inside the Temple of Nod in the last mission two portraits are put up at the walls with motif from RA2.
