Terraforming in the OTU

And just how many major terraforming projects is there evidence for in the Classic Era? The Ancients did terraforming. The Darrians did a little. There's a few major Imperial and Solomani terradorming projects mentioned in canon. Small scale terraforming (improving parts of already livable worlds) seems to be pretty widespread. But those grand folly projects you express so much scorn for are not really that numerous.
