| The most commonly encountered terraforming probes in known space are those launched by the ancient Terrans of the Sol system, and the early [[Ascendancy]]. These probes were first developed and launched in 57 PT as clusters of autonomous robotic spacecraft, designed to travel at high sublight speeds and transform the environment of planets prior to the arrival of the sleeper colony ships launched in the two centuries prior. These probes typically travel at speeds of 0.95c, and the initial wave has travelled over 3,500 light-years from the Sol system. | The most commonly encountered terraforming probes in known space are those launched by the ancient Terrans of the Sol system, and the early [[Ascendancy]].

| - | Clusters of terraforming probes were launched indiscriminately from Sol for almost 400 years after they were developed, directed at practically every star where traces of carbon were detected in its emission spectrum. Some later probe clusers contained artificial intelligence systems programmed to identify additional candidate stars in their travels, and launch probe clusters at them. Terraforming probes can be found on a huge number of planets, oftenmade habitable by their action, but vast numbers are still travelling through interstellar space, targeting new candidate worlds all the time. | + | Clusters of terraforming probes were launched indiscriminately from Sol for almost 400 years after they were developed, directed at practically every star where traces of carbon were detected in its emission spectrum.

| If you encounter a terraforming probe, either on a planet or in space, extreme care is advised in dealing with them. | If you encounter a terraforming probe, either on a planet or in space, extreme care is advised in dealing with them. | ||
