Broken Moon

Taranis IIa or Taranis 2a was a moon of Taranis II. His remains are known as "Broken Moon", result of a terraforming disaster during the Messer Era. It is unclear, if the moon is entirely destroyed and now slowly dispersing into an asteroid field or still has a stabile core.

It is also a map available for Arena Commander.

History
Taranis II was initially classified as a poor choice for terraformation and colonization.

The standard operating procedure at the time for terraforming a coreless planet was to harness the energy in orbiting moons.

In the case of Taranis II, substandard parts and near slave labor meant that CRABSOS Inc managed to crack the mantle of this small moon, splitting it into a million dangerous chunks. The result was a deadly Taranis 2a debris that will continue to strike the planet for hundreds of years.
