'''Taranis 2a''' is a (former) moon of [[Taranis II]]. Its remains are known as "Broken Moon", the result of a [[terraforming]] disaster during the [[Messer Era]].

== History ==
With [[Gold Horizon]] spearheading a terraforming golden age in the 2560s, the cheap geo development outfit [[Ophion Inc]] also jumped on the bandwagon. They decided that Taranis II would be the ideal place to test an experimental terraforming technique involving harnessing the energy of its orbiting moon. A combination of substandard parts, near-slave-labor and dubious science result in Ophion managing to crack the mantle of the moon, splitting it into a million dangerous chunks. In addition to a deadly [[Taranis 2a debris|debris field]] that will continue to strike the planet for hundreds of years, the event super-ignited the terraforming machinery in orbit. Several of the stacks continue to burn unabated up until the present day, further rendering the surface of the planet worthless slag.<ref>{{Cite RSI|text=Galactic Guide: Taranis|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/14257-Galactic-Guide-Taranis-System}}</ref>
