California Minor

First surveyed when the California system was opened for exploration, California Minor is a small, icy world with a barely breathable atmosphere. It was always been considered unsuitable for conventional terraforming ever since the initial survey landings, largely due to the frigid surface conditions and overall distance from the sun, although the surveys did detect unusual geothermic reading deep below the planet's crust.

In 741 A.S., Planetform devised a method to channel the planet's enormous subterranean stores of geothermic energy, releasing greenhouse gases and introducing alien organism into the atmosphere to speed up the terraforming process. Planetform estimates the terraforming process will likely be completed in year 826 A.S. Despite the harsh planetary conditions, the increasing availability of jobs on the planet has attracted large numbers of manual laborers, particularly from the Colorado system.
