The Genesis system is a developing planetary system that consists of a G-type main sequence star, a mesoplanet, a terrestrial planet, an ice giant, and an asteroid belt. Discovered in 2812, it was immediately evident that the second planet from the sun was lush with vegetation. Many terraforming companies put in early bids with the United Empire of Earth (UEE) government, but were ultimately barred from developing the system when the Fair Chance Act was invoked after multiple intelligent species were detected on Genesis II's surface. The system's other two planets are situated on either side of the green band, and are poor candidates for terraformation.
