Terraforming Terraforming was the process of modifying the environment of a planet or moon to make it habitable for life ; Most humanoid life that engage in terraforming modify the world to meet criteria for class M planets . Its converse is bioforming , which is the process of adapting a " species " biology and anatomy to the " planet " . ( ) If given resources were scarce or population miniscule ; parts of a planetary surface could also be adapted to humanoid life merely by building artificial biosphere s . ( ) Process . Terraforming begins with selecting a planet which has the right mass , gravity , rate of rotation , and balanced periods of day and night . Federation efforts at terraforming were coordinated by Terraform Command and ensured both that there is no life on the planet , and that it never will naturally occur . Next , water must be made available for life in water basins . This could be done using hydraulic landscaping , sometimes with the additional step of filtering and re - oxygenating the subsurface water . If the water is hypersaline ( incredibly high salt content ) portions of it may be desalinated to meet terrestrial and agricultural needs . Then , microorganism s are introduced as the first constituents of the biosphere permitting it ' s atmosphere into self sustaining oxygen production . As the biosphere expands , higher order plants are introduced . One of the key metrics of the process being successful is monitoring the amount of vegetation on the planet . Industrial replicators would allow for manufacture of large volumes of volatile compounds and elements critical for life ( Carbon dioxide , Nitrogen , Ammonia , methane , etc ) Terraformers accelerate the process of terraforming ; by doing so it only would take around 30 years to build a habitable world . Given in nature it would take millions or billions of years ; or not at all given the planet . ( )
Elim Garak ( mirror ) Elim Garak was a male Cardassian of the 24th century Klingon - Cardassian Alliance . In the 2370s , he was the second - in - command of the Alliance outpost in the Bajoran sector , serving under Intendant . Garak chafed under Kira ' s command , constantly wishing to set violent and brutal examples to quell minor resistance from the slave s who were working in the ore processing facilities on the station . Garak was constantly hatching plots to kill the Intendant and take command of the station himself - plots that were always transparent and unsuccessful . When the Kira Nerys of another universe suddenly arrived on the station in 2370 , Garak saw the opportunity to have the Intendant killed , and have her replaced by the parallel Kira . Kira would then resign her post , leaving Garak in charge of the station . However , Garak ' s plot never came to fruition , because Kira left the station before he could have the Intendant " disappear " . ( ) The next year , Garak relished the chance to make an " example " of Terran Rebellion leader , but the Intendant was so pleased to have her former lover back at her side that she told Garak to leave him alone . When came to the station offering intelligence on Sisko , Garak had him torture d into revealing the plot to help escape from the station , and then had him killed . ( ) When the rebels attacked and captured Terok Nor from the Alliance in 2372 , Garak was the only officer to escape the destruction unharmed . He was quickly captured by Regent , however , who placed him in a dog collar as humiliation for the defeat . However , Garak managed to deftly deflect blame for the loss of the station onto Intendant Kira , and further convinced the Regent that she was to blame for the defeat at the Battle of Terok Nor . ( ) Worf and Garak finally managed to capture the Intendant in 2375 , but she managed to bargain for her life by convincing the Regent to use Grand Nagus Zek as a bargaining chip to obtain a cloaking device from the primary universe - a technology that the Alliance did not possess . Garak was greatly disappointed that he was not able to execute the Intendant , but he planned to execute Zek , Quark , and Rom instead . However , the Ferengi managed to deflect Garak ' s attention by pointing out that his plans were amateurish - " " our Garak would have relished the chance to actually interrogate his subjects to learn their secrets " " . The mirror - Garak , however , was more interested in simply killing his prisoners . Garak was distracted long enough for to sneak up on him and inject him with the same hypospray that he was about to use on Quark . Garak was left for dead - the contents of the hypospray he had been injected with was concentrated ulcartic virus , a very deadly and painful disease . ( )
