Template:Astronomical object Nyx I, the first planet of the StarCitizen:Nyx system, was a coreless world noteworthy only for its searing heat, a metals rush, and the existence of gases normally found only in smog planets that prevented terraformation using currently available technology. This has changed with the arrival of StarCitizen:Genesis Terraforming in StarCitizen:2954.<ref name=":1">Template:Cite RSI</ref>
History
Terraforming attempts
Discovered (and abortively named "Lou") in StarCitizen:SEY StarCitizen:2582 along with the rest of the StarCitizen:Nyx system, Nyx I was completely unimportant until a survey discovered the presence of high-value metals. This lead to the risky attempts of multiple companies to try their hand at terraforming the hot world, only to be defeated by the technological inability of the time that could not deal with the atmosphere's composition.<ref name=":1" />
Mining under heat
The inability to mine in less boiling temperatures, safety, or much of any comfort would not stop the mining operations to come. For fifty years miners and their equipment would struggle under the heat, working from the 26th into the StarCitizen:27th Century extracting the planet's wealth to supply the war factories and shipyards of the StarCitizen:Kilian system. Ultimately this wealth was exhausted to the point profits began to fall below the upkeep costs of heat, wear, and hazard pay, so by StarCitizen:2630 Nyx I had broadly been abandoned.<ref name=":1" />
Terraforming once more
Centuries of abandonment later, StarCitizen:Genesis Terraforming arrived in StarCitizen:2954 having selected Nyx I to prove a groundbreaking terraforming experiment. They had completed the development of a suite of brand new StarCitizen:terraformation platform designs specifically intended to scrub atmospheres clean of the gases specific to smog planets and unusual cases such as Nyx I, finally enabling the until-now impossible alteration of their atmospheres to a breathable mix of oxygen and nitrogen. Setting to work without bothering to consult the StarCitizen:People's Alliance, the independent society local to the StarCitizen:Nyx system, Genesis Terraforming had by November of StarCitizen:2955 successfully reduced the hot world's temperature enough to allow the appearance of nascent oceans and had achieved promising progress in the similarly nascent alteration of its atmosphere.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0">Edition 4.4.
