'''Terraforming''' is the process in which the terrain, climate and atmosphere of a planet is altered to suit the needs of those colonizing the planet. It normally involves inserting plants and/or flora, introducing new minerals or substances, or other changes to fulfill the required goals for the planet in question. It can take up to several centuries to fully terraform an [[Earth]]-sized planet, depending on the degree of terraforming that is needed.<ref name="datapad">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Data pads|Data pad 14]]''</ref> | '''Terraforming''' is the process in which the terrain, climate and atmosphere of a planet is altered to suit the needs of those colonizing the planet.
