'''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. The [[UNSC]] uses terraforming processes to convert potential colonies into environments suitable for [[human]] habitation.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'''</ref> The {{UNSCShip|Odyssey}} was the first UNSC ship to carry terraforming gear out of the [[Sol system]]. | '''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.
