Synthworld (Chronos III)

Synthworld (Chronos III) is an incomplete artificial planet located in the green band of the [Chronos system](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RvlQZKy95l-chronos-system), [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth). In 2872, [Imperator](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Gz5BoJ9wl-uee-imperator) Corbyn Salehi announced a new scientific endeavor to construct a planet in the Chronos system as a way to move beyond the inherently destructive process of [terraforming](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V3qgj8vjnj-terraforming), made unpopular at the time thanks to the [Massacre of Garron II](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/01dWeqnMr1-massacre-of-garron-ii). The project was designated [Project Archangel](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RLMmAnr4gj-project-archangel), and construction began immediately. The proposed Synthworld would ultimately have a radius of about 7500 kilometers, and is projected to have an Earth-like gravity upon its completion. However, its continued setbacks, no visible end date, and the many financial scandals that have stemmed from it have made Synthworld a point of contention among [Humans](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans).
