Novaya Rodina really isn’t a world that most of us would colonize now.  She’s larger than Earth, has a larger mass shadow than Earth, and heavier surface gravity than Earth.  Most of her surface is frozen solid, and her air is far thicker than Earth.  It takes massive equalization chambers in the spaceports to even allow visitors to walk onto the planet without instantly injuring themselves.  The original colonists did not have it easy.
