Hofn IV more commonly known as Hofn was a stormy, largely water-covered world with three moons named Geyser, Jockulsarlon and Myvatn.<ref name="IPp111"/>
 
  
=== Planetary History ===

Hofn IV—more commonly known as Hofn—was a stormy, largely water-covered world with three moons named Geyser, Jockulsarlon and Myvatn.<ref name="IPp111"/>
With all bar a twentieth of the surface of Hofn covered by water, the JàrnFòlk who colonized the planet established subterranean settlements, away from the mighty storms that raged across the oceans. Settlements on Hofn were generally home to one extended family under normal circumstances. The storms produced endless energy via the wind turbines facilities on the few archipelagos. A major export product from Hofn was fish from the vast oceans.<ref name="IPp111"/>

The population of Hofn shared a common culture with the other JàrnFòlk - named for the ''Jàrnskib'', or "iron ships" that brought them to their new homeworld - which had evolved during the time the colonists spent as itinerant explorers and traders, fleeing the [[Draconis Combine]] depredations inflicted on the [[Rasalhague Principality]] worlds. The JàrnFòlk culture was based on the Scandinavian traditions preserved by the original refugees, and the population of Hofn was kept in check by the feuding and rough lifestyle common to the JàrnFòlk. The population was divided between the subsidiary families, descended from the crews of the original JàrnFòlk ships, while the nine ruling families were descended from the command staff of the nine ships.<ref name="ISP3p63"/>

While the JàrnFòlk language was a blend of several ancient Scandinavian languages, primarily - but not limited to - Danish and Old Norse, Hofn had evolved a distinct dialect unique to itself but comprehensible to the people of the other JàrnFòlk worlds, a linguistic shift echoed on each of the other planets.<ref name="ISP3p63"/>

Hofn was at the center of a fratricidal familial conflict in [[3073]] that shook JàrnFòlk society, and saw the number of ruling families decline from nine to eight. The patriarch of the Jespersen family, [[Jon Jespersen]], had proposed a merger of the Jespersen and Torvald families via a marriage between himself and Magda Torvald. This put him in opposition to his sons, [[Magnus Torvald|Magnus]] and [[Peter Torvald|Peter]]; Peter killed Jon, in an attack that was considered legal, but which saw Magda and her maiden of honor also killed in the crossfire. Peter then arranged to have Magnus declared innocent via legal shenanigans that saw Peter acquire a number of death marks against him, only for Peter, Magnus and a sizable portion of the Jespersen family die as a result of an explosion perpetrated by [[Javier Torvald]] that consumed half the Jespersen estate on Hofn. Peace was restored when the Jespersen family atoned by marrying their oldest surviving family member - ten-year-old [[Kenneth Jespersen]] - into the Torvald family, and the Torvalds absorbed both the Jespersen holdings on Hofn and the Jespersen ''[[sælgeflåde]]''.<ref name="ISP3p63"/>
