Tiberium:The Duchy of Tiber has developed a strange mineral/plant fusion that has become the center of their technological and economic expansion.





Tiberium is a dense "dynamic proton lattice" held together by exotic heavy particles. When Tiberium comes into contact with other matter, the heavy particles randomly collide with the nuclei of the target matter, smashing it to pieces (in the case of smaller nuclei) or incrementally knocking off protons or neutrons (in the case of heavier nuclei). Tiberium captures a fraction of the protons that are ejected during this collision process and incorporates them into its own structure, thus transmuting matter into more Tiberium. Whenever one of the heavy particles — a muon or tauon — collides with an atomic nucleus, fission occurs, which results in the production of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation as well as other forms of electromagnetic radiation (like infra-red). During the transmutation process, nuclei that Tiberium has come into contact with may be changed into nuclei with different (usually fewer) numbers of protons or neutrons. The evolved Tiberium continues to form green (low mineral density) and blue (high mineral density) crystals, varying in worth.

Beware of Human Tibeirum poisoning, if a human comes into direct contact with Tiberium, the green matter will start to fuse with their skin within about 20 seconds. An intense burning sensation will be felt. A full infection will manifest if the victim isn't treated immediately. The flesh will begin to take on a glassy-greenish appearance as it begins to crystallize; eventually internal organs will shut down as Tiberium extends rigid crystalline runners throughout the body. If the crystal is breathed in, then it will become embedded in the lungs. The ability to ___A victim of Tiberium assimilation process oxygen will be lost as the lung tissue crystallizes. Eventually the subject will hemorrhage to death.

Proliferation:
Tiberium can spread almost anywhere, with the rate of spread being influenced by soil density and ambient temperature. Only the polar caps show low levels of Tiberium infestation. Tiberium spreads through a variety of methods, depending on the local environment.

No matter how small, an isolated patch of Tiberium can spread to cover acres. The process is not entirely understood, but it is believed that a patch of Tiberium will release underground shoots in every direction, which will then grow into Tiberium proper. In this way, the amount of Tiberium in an area will increase exponentially. Tiberium patches can be completely de-'forested' temporarily, but will grow back even if the Tiberium is completely removed, due to its underground "roots". Some of the immature Tiberium sprites are fairly non-descript, allowing the illusion that Tiberium is growing from out of nowhere. The ground from which Tiberium grows sounds like shattered glass when walked on- though the large crystals may be entirely harvested, smaller crystals will remain in the soil and become clusters for further crystalline growth.

A more disturbing method of Tiberium growth is witnessed when the area Tiberium is in has any sort of foliage, such as trees or bushes. Through an unexplained mutagenic process, Tiberium alters these trees into "Blossom Trees". These "trees" are fleshy stalks with a large bulb at the top. The bulb regularly contracts and relaxes, releasing microscopic Tiberium crystals into the atmosphere. As long as there is a Blossom Tree in an area, Tiberium will constantly regrow around the tree. Most attempts at injuring or removing Blossom trees have been ineffective.

Tiberium Vinifera:
This highly combustible blue-colored Tiberium variant, has its own specific form of spread. If a large enough patch of Vinifera grows to maturity, the crystals will meld together into a massive blue crystal, roughly 10 meters high. These large Vinifera masses act similarly to Blossom Trees (it is unknown how), but at a much slower pace. These crystals are very volatile, and if a vehicle manages to be destroyed over a patch of Viniferia, it will start a slow chain reaction. The crystals will catch fire and then explode after a short time, and some small pieces of debris will land on other areas and catch them on fire and so on, until very little of the original patch remains.

Tiberium Glaciers:
If the growth of Tiberium goes unchecked, the results are a large number of vast, towering Tiberium deposits that have engulfed the soil beneath them and created 'glaciers'. These fissures in a planet's surface create huge barriers for anyone foolish enough to try and cross these regions on foot.

Liquid Tiberium:
There are two types of liquid Tiberium, natural and processed. The natural type occurs when the Tiberium on an infused planets grows too abundant and the various solid types of Tiberium from collapsing upon itself. The liquid Tiberium developed by the Duchy of Tiber is an extremely potent form that has a high energy density yield. This processed type can be uses as both a weapon and a tool.

Liquid Tiberium can be used to "Seed" Tiberium. The new form can be sprayed on a surface, and the microscopic Tiberium particles will embed themselves in the soil and rapidly develop into Tiberium Riparius. It is used as one of the methods of amplifying Tiberium spread. Another use is as a component of the Tiberium infusion or as a power core of power plants.

Obelisk Particle Beam System:
Obelisks are a powerful particle beam system that can fire a burst capable of destroying anything with less than heavy armor and severely harming heavy armored vechs or mechs (the shear heat is too much for a unit even if heavy armored). Obelisks are capable of firing in any direction, but when planetside if the atmospheric compensators are disrupted then the Obelisks are susceptible to air attacks. An obelisk can either fire a single controlled shot to take out a heavier unit or a sweeping shot to remove multiple light targets.


Each individual Obelisk requires a 30sec. cool down before it can fire again.




Spitfire Capacitor:

The Spitfire Capacitor is the technology that allows the power of the Obelisk cannons to be used in an attack capacity by controlling the energy output.

Name/Model Number: Oizys-class Fighter

Alias:

Race/Product Manufacturer: Pandora Corporation

Physical Description/Dimensions:


Affiliation: Nairan Interstellar Kingdom

History/Design Features: The Oizys is the Nairan fighter. Its primary tasks are recon and harassment assignments, as it is extremely fast and armed with duel particle beam cannons based on Obelisk technology.

The fighter possesses an extremely aerodynamic shape and two VTOL engines on articulate mounts on its sides for planetside fighting. It also has heatshilding for atmo enterences, but such enterences are discouraged. The pilot's cockpit is at the extreme front of the machine, allowing a large field of view, but also limiting his protection.

Master/ Operator:

Weapon(s): 2x Duel Particle Beam Cannon

Defensive Capabilities:Signature generators and Stealth Detectors

Ship/Mode of transport/Propulsion: 2x VTOL craft-class TIPE system.

Specialty: Recon & harassment

Strengths: Excellent against other fighters, bombers, etc., cheap and quick to build, compared to other craft, able to provide additional range for beam cannons via mirrors, and very fast and maneuverable

Weaknesses: Very light armor therefore susceptible to missiles and other anti-aircraft weaponry.

Other: Another function of the Oizys is deception - it can be equipped with signature generators, that interfere with the opponent's radar, fooling him into considering a few Oizys a whole army, thus making him scatter his forces.

Oizys also can provide targeting data for the beam artillery units operating in the "field" and allowing them to bounce their beams off of mirrors the Oizys carries on its underside, thus allowing them to strike targets otherwise immune to their damage. Also allows Obelisks not positioned to fire on targets on a particular target to aid the Obelisks that are due to the 30sec. cool down time need for each individual Obelisk. The Oizys can only do this as long as it is in the firing range of the Obelisk not in cool down, this effectively doubles the Obelisk's range in the conical direction the Oizys is facing.
