Terraforming in the OTU

I can think of a few circumstances with reasons for terraforming in the OTU.

A) The Ancients - They did a lot of weird things.

B) Minor Races - They do not have jump drive and thus terraforming a nearly habitable world to their lking may be a viable option.

C) Prestige - An interstellar government may elect to terraform a world as a show of political or industrial strength.

D) Low Mass Worlds With Thick Atmospheres - Below a certain mass, a world will lose its atmosphere over a period of time. Worlds in this category use terraforming to build up an acceptable atmosphere for the inhabitants.

None of these violate the consistancy of the OTU canon.
