Surveying trailing Langere Sector upon first arriving, pioneering Hivers travelled through Limited, Very Hot, Unsuitable, the slightly more promising Adequate, the much better Pleasant... and then they found Optimum.

In order to preserve their optimal world, the Hivers capped its population at a billion, and directed the subsequent immigration waves to Waap, a garden world jump-2 distance from Optimum.
