72 Herculis

 

72 Herculis is a planetary system orbiting a yellow G-class star.  The system lies in the Hercules Constellation of the Inner/Sol Region.

 
72 Herculis is a sun-like star located under 50 light years from Sol.  The system's first Terran based explorers found the primary planet to be a cool world covered in ice.  Terraforming projects were needed to make the planet fully habitable.

 

The primary planet of the 72 Herculis System is a habitable, terrestrial world.  Solar reflectors were used to warm up the planet, which had ice that would reach as far as the tropics.  The planet is currently covered in 80% water and enjoys a warmer climate thanks to the terraforming.
