Hugo Tollip

Hugo Tollip was one of the sector's richest men, he made his fortune by the acquisition of planets considered too difficult to mine or colonize by anyone else. He called all the planets that he bought "Tollip's World" until he sold or named them. He bought Tollip's World circa 2605, after it was discovered by one of his fly-by camera ships.
