While slightly more pleasant than New Berlin, with temperatures rising as high as 8°C at the equator, Hamburg is still a planet of forbidding grey skies, frosty summers and bitterly cold winters. Despite similar weather conditions to that of planet New Berlin, the axial inclination of Hamburg is such that a day lasts roughly 26 hours, and the seasons are roughly similar to those on old Earth. The famous Rheinland explorer, Joachim Schiller, discovered the Hamburg system in 87 A.S. and many settlers arrived later the same year to colonise planet Hamburg. Several corporations including Kruger Minerals and Republican Shipping also quickly set up bases, keen to exploit the resources of the newly discovered system.

Hamburg prospered over the centuries, becoming a cosmopolitan planet largely owned by Republican Shipping, through which pours large amounts of side arms, pharmaceuticals, water, oxygen and other vital commodities to and from Liberty and the other houses. Some cargo is offloaded onboard Altona, although most tends to be stored in planet-side warehouses these days, to guard from the endless Unioner attacks that plague the system. The planet's population is a curious mixture of suits, dock workers, security, police, traders, bounty hunters and other freelancers, looking for work amidst the bars, offices and markets that dominate Hamburg's capital city, Hafen City.
