Do Sectors Terraform Planets?!

[Army Pea]

In my current game I just researched the tech to terraform planets to Gia classification.

As I was searching for suitable planets I noticed one was already being terraformed in a Sector, and I don't recall starting that process (perhaps I did , added the planet to my Sector and forgot)

Was curious if sectors actually have the ability to terraform assuming they have the energy on hand.

Anyone else have this experience?

I've seen AI empires terraform a lot, but not sectors. Did you recently conquer/extend border into that part of the galaxy that used to belong to someone else?

This planet in question has been in my borders for a long time but only recently added to my Sector.

So it was either the Sector AI that initiated it (this particular sector has 20k energy stored) or I did and forgot during the 10 in game years it takes to complete.
