Holstein was ignored for centuries until the government decided that it would be politically advantageous to develop the planet as a hedge against encroachment by the Gas Mining Guild (GMG). However, the 80-Years War doomed the project before its completion; Holstein was rendered marginally habitable, if not pleasant. However, Daumann engineers performing a routine survey recently discovered the presence of large amounts of valuable mineral salts in the oceans and a small extraction facility was constructed planetside.

Holstein being property of Daumann has experienced an increase in industrialization and development. Its undergoing a slow, yet constant terraforming process, several islands have been constucted and properties have been sold throughout the planet, rising the population levels to several millions. It also has the smallest dockport for DHC working mainly as a simulator for new crews and pilots. However the main interest lies in the rich mineral deposits. Because it consist mainly by a huge ocean, massive industrialization has not been possible, and only a several hundred platforms have been built to study and extract the minerals on a mid-scale.

Being on a relative safe system, Holstein is house to many Daumann workers, including one of the chief assistants, Friedrich Hanz. The terraforming process is expected to be completed on a few years, and massive construction will begin, housing millions of citizens under the watchful eyes of Daumann Heavy Construction
