The frozen planet of Atka was once targeted to be terraformed by the Liberty government in an attempt to relocate manufacturing and economic undesirables to the Independent Worlds. A small Planetform team is on the surface to construct the ground equipment required for the initiation of stage one terraforming. Planetform believes that by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the temperature on Atka will rise roughly 30 degrees, causing most of the surface to thaw. Projections suggest it will be an oceanic world when this is completed, with only 15 percent of its surface above sealevel. The terraforming effort is expected to take roughly a century.
