New Eden

New Eden was a Blue Zone reclaimed from the German Yellow Zone by GDI.
==History==
After the Second Tiberium War, GDI deployed sonic emitters to slow down the spread of Tiberium in key Yellow Zones. In several small areas of the German Yellow Zones, however, GDI managed to eradicate Tiberium almost completely and transform them into Blue Zones. Walled cities were constructed in these areas, and this patchwork of reclaimed territory became known as the "New Eden" Blue Zone, the first Blue Zone ever to be reclaimed from a Yellow Zone. This accomplishment was still being celebrated in the early months of 2047.Verdu, Michael. 2006-11-17. A Little About Tiberium. Mirror: A Little About Tiberium. C&C3 X360 Page. 2010-02-21.
Known cities of New Eden include Munich, Stuttgart, Cologne, and Berne. After New Eden's establishment, it became a secret research hub for GDI, particularly in Munich, where the Future-Tech lab was located.Electronic Arts Los Angeles, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. GDI mission 12: "Munich".
During the Third Tiberium War, the cities of New Eden came under heavy attack by Scrin forces during their diversionary attacks on human population centers. The first city to fall was Munich, which was infiltrated by a Mastermind unit. The Mastermind manipulated an engineer into shutting down the city's defense grid, allowing a large alien force to enter the city and destroy the local GDI base.Electronic Arts Los Angeles, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Scrin mission 2: "Munich". The Future-Tech lab, which had been compiling a full analysis of the aliens' operations, was soon destroyed, but remnants of the GDI garrison managed to escort a convoy carrying the lab's researchers out of the city.
The invaders soon spread out from Munich into the other Blue Zone cities in the region, including strategically unimportant cities such as Cologne. As such, the GDI defenders were caught completely off guard, and the cities fell one by one.Electronic Arts Los Angeles, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

It became the staging ground for the aliens' invasion of Northern Europe.Electronic Arts Los Angeles, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

GDI forces, under the leadership of the GDI Commander, eventually pushed the aliens out of New Eden entirely, but the damage was done - the aliens destroyed anti-Tiberium walls and Tiberium silos in the cities, undoing years of reclamation effort.Electronic Arts Los Angeles, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

By the end of the war, the entire New Eden had once again become Yellow Zones.Tiberium Earth map Despite a massive post-war reconstruction effort by the Idris Corporation, New Eden was consumed by the rapidly expanding Northern European Tiberium field in 2052.The Idris Corporation Story.
