The Hoff system was the location of at least one habitable world, Hoff IV, and as at 3145 was located in the Barlow's End Prefecture of the New Samarkand Military District within the Draconis Combine.[3][4]
System Description
The Hoff system is located near the Bettendorf and Sakhara V systems[5] and consists of at least four planets orbiting a class G64III primary. During the Thirty-first Century a recharge station was in place at the system zenith jump point.[1][2]
System History
The Hoff system was colonised during the First Exodus from Terra[6] and had joined or been annexed by the Federated Suns by the end of the Age of War.[7][8]
Hoff IV
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard
Hoff IV - more commonly known simply as Hoff - is the fourth planet in the system and has a single moon named Spad.[1][2] Hoff IV was also home to at least one notable manufacturing complex.[9]
Planetary History
Hoff was an agricultural planet until it developed advanced industry prior to the Succession Wars. When the wars came the planetary industry was crippled, leaving it on a level equal to nineteenth century Terra.[1]
First Succession War
Hoff was invaded during the first half of the major invasion into the Federated Suns launched by the Draconis Combine in May 2787.[10] Hoff was liberated by the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns in 2817, as part of the third and final major AFFS counter-offensive of the First Succession War against the Draconis Combine.[11]
Third Succession War
In 3019 the New Avalon Institute of Science decided to place several research facilities on Hoff, particularly the Friden Aerospace Park that played a crucial role in the (re-)discovery of several technologies including Double Heat Sinks and the development of the Super Wasp and Super Griffin BattleMechs into prototype stage. The facility was sacked by the Black Widow Company[1] in 3022,[2] during the period in which Wolf's Dragoons were in the employ of the Draconis Combine.[1] The Friden Aerospace Park, a small spaceport on Hoff's northern continent, had been abandoned for a long time prior to the NAIS restoring and refurbishing the facility. After the Dragoons' raid, Hoff was heavily reinforced by the AFFS, and the Park was reopened again; ComStar believed that Team Banzai were testing a variant of the Hatchetman BattleMech at the facility in 3025.[2]
During the NAIS' introduction to Hoff the planet was ruled by Duke Bradley Cheel.[1]
