'''Synthworld''' is a man-made [[megastructure]] which is intended to be the first artificial [[planet]] in [[United Empire of Earth|UEE]]-controlled space. Despite being not finished yet, it is currently (2950) listed as '''Chronos III''' on the [[Starmap|ARK Starmap]].

==History==
The [[Chronos system|Chronos System]] was discovered around 2862 and occupied by the UEE. With just two dead and resource-poor worlds and because of its remote, outer location it was chosen to host [[Project Archangel]] launched on the initiative of Imperator [[Corbyn Salehi|Salehi]] and the Clarke Committee. The Clarke Committee was a task force that envisioned a post-[[terraforming]] future, after the [[massacre of Garron II]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15327-Galactic-Guide-Chronos-System|int=Comm-Link:Galactic Guide - Chronos System|text=Galactic Guide - Chronos System}}</ref>

After the death of Salehi in 2922, the project was continued by his successors with limited success. It is criticized for its high costs and lack of transparency. A considerable proportion of the UEE government budget is used for the construction and maintenance of Synthworld.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15476-Congress-Now|int=Comm-Link:Congress_Now_-_Sensible_Synthworld_Amendment|text=Congress Now: Sensible Synthworld Amendment}}</ref><ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15102-KAIZEN-Government-Spending|int=Comm-Link:Kaizen_-_Government_Spending|text=Kaizen: Government Spending}}</ref>

===[[Archangel Station]]===
An orbital station positioned above the Synthworld that houses the scientists and engineers who are attempting to build the planet. This station is also the port of entry for the vast resources needed to continue the project.
