<p>Did you ever wonder why
Bavarium is <i>only</i> found in
Medici? An entire planet with seven different continents and there's a mineral on it that can only be found on a single 30 square kilometer island nation?
</p><p>My theory is that Bavarium is a mineral not of this Earth. Somewhere in the natural history of this planet, a meteorite must have struck the spot where Medici is today. Maybe the crash site at the time was submerged in the Mediterranean, or perhaps Medici was still an island at that time.
</p><p>Or perhaps,
Bavarium is a mainstay of an alien race's technology, perhaps being used for shields, and a fuel source, plus weaponry on alien spacecraft, and perhaps a ship crashed where Medici is, and the Bavarium somehow was able to mutate back into unrefined rock and start forming mineral deposits underground.
</p><p>Maybe Bavarium was put there by aliens on purpose.
</p><p>It doesn't sit right with me that a mineral can only be found on a single island on this whole planet.

Tiberium</s>
