Planet is one of the first Union Colonies. It was among the first Colonies of Terran Humans coming from several different older United Earth Colonies (mainly from Mars). The world is a beautify Garden World but has a natural gravitation of 4.2 Gravos. The planets bio sphere, animals and plants are adapted to this gravitation with strong bones and very dense muscle tissue. Most of the planets animals move very slow and in almost all cases resemble large pan cakes.

The World was surveyed in 2249 and colonized in 2252, the Colonists received government approved Genetic tailoring to cope with the high gravitation and without relying on Personal gravo adjusters.

This was also the first colonization that no longer used Setter Arks but regular Freighter ships delivering the Colony Starter Pack and other supplies.

Colonists of Hoffman's world are often seen in Security fields and occupations where body strength is still a bonus. They are on average 4 times stronger than a standard human. They did lose some agility and must train rigorously to obtain standard human agility levels. They also need more sleep and more food than standard humans.

It should be noted that the Nick names:  "Poor man's Saturnian ", Kindergarten Saturnian " and "Mini Saturnian " are certain to be seen as an Insult by Hoffmanns.

Main Industry is the Stone tree lumber industry and the export of the hardest wood in the known Galaxy. The wood is harder than regular steel and is considered among the most beautiful colored wood when polished. The Wood is highly valuable and cultivated in careful tended forests. Other exports include Rock Salt, Moss and Natural compost

The World received its name by the navigator of the Survey ship. Why he came up with Hoffman's World is unknown.
