Subject: Status Update, Gallia

Good Day,

Our expedition to Gallia is proceeding smoothly, although the lack of interest our vessel recieved is somewhat strange. Most of the teams currently analysing Gallia's flora and fauna, and our initial assessment on the worlds are ready. Thanks to these projects, company can grow into multiple times larger, maybe even to the size of Liberty Megacorps, if we'll convince the frogs to terraform most of these worlds.

They are currently engaged in terraforming of 2 worlds, one of them is botched up, the latter is done with ineffective, and primitive methods. A third settled world could be easily terraformed, given it's cold climate, this would be probably desired.

For regional HQ, I suggest to acquire the former Solar Engineering Headquarters on Compiegne Space Colony, as the station orbits one of the potential canditates. Without further ado, here are every rock worth a damn to us.

Canditates

---

Aubigny, Ile-de-France
Priority: █ █ █ █ █
Population: ~50,000,000

Aubigny is a world rich in Oil, and quite poor in climate. Temperature on the equator rarely exceeding 0 Celsius, and in the polare regions, Negative 100 celsius isn't a rare sight.

Recommended approach: Deployment of terraforming stations planetside, and adjusting ecology accordingly. Transport excess ice to other projects in the system, for reducing our costs on those projects, and to prevent floods.

---

Planet Chateau-Tierry, Ile-de-France
Priority: █ █ █
Population: None

A desert world, orignally considered as a potential terraforming location, but later abandoned, when nearby systems gave better opportunities to settle. Easily approachable, as it has trade-lane connections, and a station in orbit.

Recommended approach: Deployment of terraforming stations planetside, introduce ecology from imported species. For cost reduction, the excess ice from the Aubigny project is advised to be used here

---

Planet Dourdan, Ile-de-France
Priority: █
Population: None

Another world considered to be terraformed, although an unfavourable one at that. Dourdan lies in the center of a large asteroid cloud, and it has no stations, or trade lanes in it's vicinity. The planet wasn't even properly surveyed, we've observed no signs of activity in it's vicinity, either.

Recommended approach: Full survey of the planet, looking for resources, and to decide the planet's future purpose. Installment of Asteroid defense grid, then terraforming stations. Usage of excess ice from Aubigny is recommended for cost reduction.

---

Planet Vienne, Dauphine
Priority: █ █ █ █ █
Population: None

An ancient world with primitive biome. The Minarchy recently posted a contract to terraform the planet. Several startup terraforming companies are interested, along with Kishiro, and Cryer, for some reason. Preliminary scans are available, and in high quality. Furthermore, the world is a relatively easy project, compared to most of the canditates on the list.

Recommended approach: Deployment of terraforming stations planetside, and adjusting ecology accordingly. Introduction of new species is necessary.

---

Planet Ales, Languedoc
Priority: █ █
Population: None

The other possible location to terraform within the Minarchy. Ales' atmosphere sports no water or oxygen, but an ice field can be found in the system. The planet sports a rather large moon, which provides sufficient protection from asteroids.

Recommended approach: Installment of terraforming stations planetside. Using the ice field for a source of water and oxygen to the atmosphere is the best possible approach. Implementing a new biome is necessary.

---

Planet Maligny, Burgundy
Priority: █ █ █ █
Population: None

Maligny is the most profitable project we can have in Burgundy. The planet has substantial resources, but due to the high temperature, the gauls never tried to extract it. Earlier records show signs of life on the planet, but the most recent ones do not report anything like it.

Recommended approach: Installment of terraforming stations planetside. Using the ice field for a source of water and oxygen to the atmosphere is the best possible approach. Implementing a new biome is necessary.

---

Planet Beaune, Burgundy
Priority: █ █ █
Population: None

A more easily terraformable world, Beaune is a cold, arid planet, with a single moon. Burgundy's ice field located closer to this planet than Maligny, and liquid water is already present.

Recommended approach: Installment of terraforming stations planetside. Using the ice field for a source of water and oxygen to the atmosphere is the best possible approach. Adjusting biome accordingly.

---

Marigny, Burgundy
Priority: █ █
Population: None

A moon around the gas giant Tonnerre. Rather small sized, with a thin atmosphere. Scans indicate large mineral deposits in relatively easily extractable locations.

Recommended approach: Installment of terraforming stations planetside. Using the ice field for a source of water and oxygen to the atmosphere is the best possible approach. Introducing new biome.

---

Planet Metz, Lorraine
Priority: █ █ █ █ █
Population: <10,000,000

Metz is a world being terraformed right now by primitive methods, like burning oil to release greenhouse gases, and introducing new species. While their creativity is admirable, the lack of experience and the trial and error way of doing it may ultimately end up in a runaway greenhouse effect.

Recommended approach: Installment of terraforming stations planetside. Adjusting biome accordingly.

---

Planet Amiens, Picardy
Priority: █ █ █ █ █
Population: 750,000,000

Amiens is the best example of a botched terraforming. Runaway greenhouse gases already caused the destruction of several megacities, and with the temperatures rising, further settlements are in danger. The damage is reversible, but needs immediate attention.

Recommended approach: Immediate release of terraforming gases, in order to stabilize the climate. Fine tuning and adjusting the biome comes after that. Due to the nature of industry planetside, continous monitoring and adjusting required.
