Terraform is a term used to describe the artificial altering of a planet's atmosphere and biology to create a world more suitable for human life. The word comes from 'Terra' meaning Earth. However the term is also used interchangeably for the same process but for other species; the Ice Warriors attempted to terraform Earth in the early 21st century, in theory the correct term should have been 'Marsform' or 'Martiaform' or something to that effect.

Similarly the Cthalctose also created a terraforming device which sparked the Agent Yellow crisis in the early 21st century, but to be pedantic neither of these examples are of genuine 'terraforming'. (NA: Eternity Weeps)
However, by the 26th century Mars had been completely terraformed by humans to make it habitable, melting the icecaps and installing a gravity net provided for an Earth like planet (albeit with less gravity and more UV light). (NA: GodEngine, BNA: Beige Planet Mars)
