![]() Kane, who claims it was in fact the Brotherhood who first discovered Tiberium, states that he himself named it after Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus. The substance is named as such because it was first discovered near the river Tiber in Italy. As a currency, Tiberium is collected to build structures and to train units. Either way, it is harvested by vehicles called harvesters. In Tiberian Dawn and Tiberian Sun, it will spread very slowly in-game but primarily comes from special Tiberium-generating Blossom Trees, infested trees that release Tiberium spores into the air in Tiberium Wars, these trees are replaced by Tiberium Fissures in the Earth's crust, and Tiberium will not spread outside a certain radius of these fissures. It can appear anywhere on Earth, but spreads much more slowly in areas of extreme cold climate. Tiberium is a commodity, with everything that one builds in the game costing Tiberium-based credits. ![]() In the context of the gameplay, Tiberium can also be seen this way with its obvious tactical advantage as a resource, and its destructive effect on infantry, sometimes transmuting them into Visceroids. While it is the greatest mineral resource ever encountered, conveniently gathering many potent elements into an easily harvestable form, it also brings with it considerable hazards: areas rich with the rapidly spreading Tiberium substance are eventually exhausted of their native ecosystems, and become too toxic to support normal carbon-based life. Tiberium is presented as a double-edged sword within the context of the story arc of the respective video games. Parts of the chemical composition of tiberium remain unknown. It can also be concentrated into a liquid form, as seen during the events of Tiberium Wars. ![]() Tiberium has extraterrestrial origins and comes in a variety of forms, mostly the common green crystal but also in the form of rarer blue crystals, the extremely rare red crystals, and in the form of "veins".
