[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Actually, the novelization of Star Trek II, and the very behaviors of the Velaran terraformers in 'Home Soil' state that the Federation is very careful about disrupting natural ecosystems. Of course, the novel and all the concepts contained within could be written off as non-canon, especially since it would also be very necessary to not have any lifeforms present lest they disrupt the Genesis matrix. But if you were terraforming a planet with a preexisting microbial life structure, would it actually make it more difficult for you? If they ate plants and released methane, you might be uncomfortable there, and it would require a lot of fun to try and destroy every microbe on a planet, especially if they lived under oceans or underground. And the Federation really doesnt seem the type to go on such a great Tribble hunt massacre. Why risk all that trouble? [/QB][/QUOTE]
