Hampton is a barren world with a very thin atmosphere that provides little protection from the sun. The planet is generally arid, but periodically passes through the Charleston Ice Field,during witch ice form the field strikes the planet and increases the moisture contet of the atmosphere considerably. Life on this planet has evolved around the cycle, layng dormant for years, only to be active for a few weeks during the "green season". }} The Liberty Navy has a large training facility and firing range on the planet. The planet is also periodically used to test orbital bombardament systems · while orbital bobmbing is generally considered an obsolete tactic due to the use of planetary shield grids and point defense batteries it remains an option against enemies not operating under such shield grid. }} The planet has been surveyed, but no resources that are worth the effort of mining have been found. Navy pilots often joke that the biggest resource on the planet is the scrap pile that Navy Marines testfire their weapons on. The artillery range has several craters that are clearly visible from space.
