I am a fan of the Mars series by K S Robinson. Is there any Traveller material on geo-engineering?
For example, take the Solleta - a mirror system orbiting the L1 point. Find a C-type asteroid with some aluminium and water. Maneuver it into L1, get drones and fabricator units to start automated manufacture/assembly of the system. This should be possible at T8. Lots of marginal cold worlds out there that might benefit from +5C Climate change... Or a -5C change if it simply shades.
This doesn't appear to be a thing in OTU. Or is it?
