Biko | Humanity's effort to terraform Biko began prior to [[2424]]. During the initial stages of the planet's colonization, humans inhabited the ice moon of Seoba. To assist with the terraforming efforts, the colonists built [[Seoba Ice Quarry|an ice quarry]] and [[mass driver]] on the moon, using it to launch payloads of steel-encapsulated ice towards the planet, where they were captured by a purchasing party. The ice capsules were then guided to a rendezvous in Biko's stratosphere, attached to a dirigible and guided to their destination. By 2424, Biko had developed a climate humid enough to supply its own rain, and the Seoba quarry was put out of service and abandoned.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS8}} Biko itself would become habitable by [[2440]], with humanity beginning colonization of the world in this year.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P50}} | ||
