TIBERIUM What is it? Where did it come from? How was it named?

Tiberium is an alien plant, which originated from a meteorite, landing in the Tiber River, Italy. It may be named due to the location of it's origin or, according to Kane, after the Roman Emperor, Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus.

Scientific Explanation

Here is what Dr Mobius, discoverer of Tiberium and leader of the research into it, has to say about this remarkable substance:
"Molecularly, it's a non-carbon based element. It appears to have strong ferrous qualities, with non-resonating reversable energy that has a tendency to disrupt carbon based molecular structures. It has unequal positrons orbiting on the 1st, 2nd, and 9th rings. The consequence of this structure is that the possibilites of tiberium are limitless."

Effects of Tiberium

Research done during the late 20th century has concluded that Tiberium has negative effects on human's respitory, reprodctive and immune systems. The possibility of tiberium having effects on human DNA remains unknown. By the mid 90s, it was estimated that in the next three years, 60% of people will suffer from a tiberium related illness. Tiberium also has disasterous effects on plant life, turning them into toxic and mutated plants.
As for tiberium itself, it now can be found in more than 200 areas on the planet, turning each area into a toxic, deadly enviroment. It grows rapidly in temperate climates like in South Africa, South America, and Europe and cannot grow in the cold, Polar regions of the world.
