Holstein was ignored for centuries until the government decided that it would be politically advantageous to develop the planet as a hedge against encroachment by the Gas Mining Guild (GMG). However, the 80-Years War doomed the project before its completion; Holstein was rendered marginally habitable, if not pleasant. However, Daumann engineers performing a routine survey recently discovered the presence of large amounts of valuable mineral salts in the oceans and a small extraction facility was constructed planetside.
Holstein being property of Daumann has experienced an increase in industrialization and development. Its undergoing a small terraforming process, several islands have been constucted and properties have been sold throughout the planet, rising the population levels to several millions. I also has the smallest dockport for DHC working mainly as a simulator for new crews and pilots. However the main interest lies in the rich mineral deposits. Because it consist mainly by a huge ocean, massive industrialization has not been possible, and only a several hundred platforms have been built to study and extract these minerals on a mid-scale.
Being on a relative safe system, Holstein is house to many Daumann workers, including one of the chief assistants, Friedrich Hanz
- will add commodities and ships later when I switch computers
