The [[Factions~Veolian Commonwealth]] has been polling the opinion of others for some time, with regards to the terraformation of [[Locations~Unity]]. When [[Characters~Nehket Aeka]] was chancellor in (:turn) 99, she set aside 5000 (:tax) of the [[ministry of finance]] budget earmarked for permanent improvements to [[Unity]]. In (:turn) 220, she created a second fund, the Green Unity Fund, of 4000 (:tax) set aside explicitly earmarked for "Subsidies for worlds participating in the research and execution of possible terraformation options for Unity."

In (:turn) 224, Chancellor [[Characters~Odakim V]] opened a vote on the direction of the terraformation of [[Unity]]. The outcome being that the funds reserved for the terraformation of Unity will be used to develop technology to improve the atmosphere on Unity. To enable the development of this technology, a specialized research facility will be built in Unity City where researchers from different nations can cooperate in this development.
