"Terraforming will continue, and that is final."
Ambassador Ketas[1]
Starkiller Base Battlefront II

The planet Ilum was terraformed by the Empire then the First Order into a military base known as Starkiller Base.

Terraforming was a process in which a planet's environment was altered, in order to ensure biologic conditions for most sentient species of the galaxy to live and prosper, such as atmosphere and terrain. The Solodoe species wished to terraform the planet Plin Minor, but the native Plinovians objected due to resulting destruction of their natural habitat.[1] The planet Lah'mu was a terraformed world, while Eadu hosted a terraforming operation owned by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin.[2] In 18 BBY,[3] the Galactic Empire began a terraforming project on the planet Ilum.[4]

  2. StarWars Where in the Galaxy Are the Worlds of Rogue One? on StarWars.com (article) (January 31, 2017): "Lah'mu (...) A terraformed world of black soils and little else, it sits within the Raioballo sector with the Veragi sector to the north, Chopani north-east, Myto sector to the west, Clacis south-west and Relgim to the south. (...) A terraforming operation owned by Grand Moff Tarkin, Eadu was the site of a kyber refining facility and as such was of great importance to the Imperial war effort." (backup link)
  3. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary states that the Galactic Empire began a terraforming project on Ilum fifty-two years before the Starkiller Incident, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY. Therefore, the terraforming project on Ilum must have begun in 18 BBY.
