Originally little more than a wildcat mining outpost, Havley's Hope has since grown into more or less the centre of heavy industry for the area. Thanks to modern methods, this has not had the sort of impact on the local environment that it might have in earlier times, but that hardly matters much since Havley's Hope has the worst climate and most generally unattractive scenery of any Class M world to be found for parsecs in any direction - and even more so in storm season.

Thanks to modern methods, this has not had the sort of impact on the local environment that it might have in earlier times, but that hardly matters much since Havley's Hope has the worst climate and most generally unattractive scenery of any Class M world to be found for parsecs in any direction - and even more so in storm season. Those that live on Havley's Hope don't seem to mind, however.
