The terraforming of Venus is the joint Earth–Mars effort that turns Venus into a habitable world. It begins roughly a thousand years after the Copious expedition and takes approximately eight hundred years.

Planetary engineering
Higher-dimensional energy machines alter Venus's rotation. AI-controlled nano mirrors shade the world; mass accelerators remove atmosphere and collect nitrogen from the Sun. Comets supply water, and hyperspheres carry away the heat of their impacts.[1]
Outcome
The result has Earthlike surface pressure, a twenty-four-hour day, an average temperature around twenty degrees Celsius, and two small oceans. Earth life and settlers from both sponsoring worlds flourish, and Venus becomes the second most prosperous planet in the system.[1]
