Tiberium, a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth, is spreading like a radioactive ice age. The GDI is fighting to contain Tiberium, but The Brotherhood of NOD has other plans for Earth. Earlier EA hinted at a 3rd race, which has now been identified as an Alien species, attacking Earth to take their part of the Tiberium.
