What is Tiberium?
    Tiberium is an alien substance that came to earth prior to the First Tiberium War. It was first discovered
near the Tiber River in Italy. It has a tendancy to change it's environment and spreads rapidly. Despite
being extremely toxic to most biological life on earth, it is often mingled with rich mineral resources
which make it very valuable.

Other known Types of Tiberium

Blue Tiberium: (Approx. 100% more valuable than green tiberium. Very harmful to infantry)
Blue tiberium is a highly volatile form of tiberium. Also, blue tiberium does not spread as
fast as green tiberium. This form of tiberium is much more valuable than its green counterpart.

 

Tiberium Veins: (Used in the manufacture of chemical missiles. Harmful to some vehicles, but not to infantry)
Tiberium Veins are a natural occurence of mutated tiberium. A tiberium vein spreads
rapidly and destroys anything it touches structure or vehicle.
