Terraforming is a form of planetary engineering in which a planet or moon is modified through artificial means to match the atmosphere, temperature and ecology of a Class M world to make it more habitable for humanoid life.

Venus was in the process of being terraformed in the 24th century, with several terraforming stations located on its surface. (DS9 episode: "Past Tense, Part I")

Gideon Seyetik was a renowned Federation terraformer, whose accomplishments include New Halana and Blue Horizon. (DS9 episode: "Second Sight"; SCE eBook: Ishtar Rising, Book 1)
