Command and Conquer 3

The aliens, whom the humans call "Scrin", are intimately linked to the Tiberium catastrophe that has befallen Planet Earth. The massive detonation of Kane's liquid Tiberium reserves under Temple Prime alerted the Scrin to the fact that Earth was "ripe" for the harvest. Indeed, it is strongly suggested that the Scrin contaminate planets with Tiberium, wait for the contamination to encompass the entire planet, and then move in to harvest the results, though we do not know whether they are only after the Tiberium, or whether they intend to colonize such "terraformed" planets, or whether their designs are something different altogether. The construction of a number of Threshold Towers in the most thoroughly contaminated areas seems to be a common part of the Scrin's scheme, though.

The Scrin bring with them a number of fighting ground units (one would hesitate to call them "infantry"), resembling large spider-like or insectoid creatures, and apparently all based on Tiberium, but their true power unfolds when they unleash their terrifying air power.

Structures

All structures are built at the Drone Platform. Additionally, structures can be built in a simultaneous build queue at every Foundry, but Foundries cannot build defensive structures (Buzzer Hive, Photon Cannon, Plasma Missile Battery, Storm Column), super weapons (the Rift Generator), other Foundries, or Explorers. Structures are produced into two separate, independent build queues, one for main structures (Foundry, Reactor, Extractor, Portal, Stasis Chamber, Warp Sphere, Nerve Center, Gravity Stabilizer, Technology Assembler, Signal Transmitter) and one for support structures (Growth Accelerator, Buzzer Hive, Photon Cannon, Plasma Missile Battery, Storm Column, Rift Generator).
