Re: Edgefields-on-Varonat

*The twice annual aleudrupe berry harvest commences, and the schools and businesses are closed as every able-bodied man, woman, and child pitches in for the week long harvest, desperate to complete the task before the next round of storms commenced. Most of the picking was done by hand, as the berries are too fragile for machinery. Baskets of berries are dumped into wooden cartons, which are then nailed shut and carefully transported to the Incom Weapons Company blaster gas factory, where the berries are crushed and fermented.*

*40 Jax Acclamator transports land where there is room and immediatly begin offloading massive Jax farming equipment and droids that will be distributed to the farmers who expressed interest in doing so. While much of the crops produced here would go throughout the galaxy, other foodstuffs from other planets would start going to the Empress Teta system.*

Re: Edgefields-on-Varonat

*As the equipment is offloaded it is dolled out to the proper farmers who begin acquinting themeselves with their new machinery. The main crop on the planet seemed to be berry type plants and so the equipment that was brought was made for that purpose, though more interchangable parts were brought along for a vast amount of other crops as well just to cover all the bases.

After unloading completely the 40 Acclamators lift off and head for orbit.*

*Pleased with their new equipment, the farmers assigned to work for Jax Industries get right to work, and the efficiency of their farms is greatly improved with the new, state of the art equipment. Incom Weapons Company officials would be impressed when they bought this year's berry crop for the blaster gas factories, as it would be finer and more abundant than ever.*

*Each day, the workers go out to the berry fields, carefully watering, weeding, fertilizing, and tending the plants. after the curious tradition emerging among Incom colonies such as this, the townsfolk also gathered in the evening to sing soothing music to their crops, in the belief that this would held them grow straighter, stronger, and more healthily. Whether this was a superstition or not, the crops were thriving.*

*The twice a year harvest time rolled around again, and after four months of tending and weeding and watering their crops, the farmers are rewarded with another abundant harvest. All the schools go into recess, and men, women, and children from age 7 to 70 are put to work in the fields for the next two weeks, picking the aleudrupe berry and packing it carefully for shipment to the nearby Incom Weapons Company fermentation blaster gas factory.*

:: Greetings Varonat this is Admiral Julian Delphiki of Black Sun. We are here to loot this world and to take over the Xaxan Zadicus' fortress. The population of this planet will not be harmed... Unless you get in our way... In which case we will slag you from orbit before our raiders walk through your ashes. Any ships caught fleeing will be destroyed. You have been warned. Our invasion will begin in a few hours. Please help us by collecting valuables so my raiders can efficiently collect them. Thank you for your cooperation. ::

Re: Edgefields-on-Varonat

*Foreman Kerwin Ordinii's office, fourth floor, Incom Weapons Company Headquarters*

*A young Mando with prematurely-thinning hair walked noiselessly across the lavender carpet to the large bay window at the front of his office, overlooking the main street of Edgefields, four stories below him. A hovertruck with the Incom logo was moving slowly past, headed east towards the farmlands beyond the colonial town's outer limits. Other than that, the early morning street was nearly deserted. It was cool, quiet moments like this that Kerwin liked most about Varonat. The sun was rising in the east, reflecting off the front of the hovertruck and splashing onto cobblestones and down side allies. Kerwin smiled, and turned away from the window. Moving here had been a big change from the hustle and bustle of the Comoron Islands on Fresia, but it was a pleasant change. Being a colonist was not as barbaric as it had once seemed. But then there was a tap at the door, and then it shot out of sight into the ceiling as his secretary entered, datapad in hand. His thoughts would have to wait.*





*As the chief of the Varonat Blaster Gas Factory, Kerwin Ordinii's responsibilities included not only overseeing the production of blaster gas from fermented aledrupe berries, but also seeking new ways to market the products of his factory, besides the existing supply contracts with the Mandalorians. And so it was that he was conducting his yearly review, seeking new companies with whom he could potentially form partnerships, and sell his blaster gas. One name in particular jumped out at him from Barbara's list: The BlasTech company had apparently changed hands and was growing again after several years of obscurity. Perhaps it would be worth giving them a call. He reached for his com system.*

*He zoomed in for a closer look. There was a nano-scale electronic component of some sort --- maybe a tracking device, maybe something more sinister --- embedded in one of the berries.*

Re: Edgefields-on-Varonat

*The quiet village of Edgefields had never seen such a bumper crop of the aleudrupe berry as the current season had yielded. The excess was so great that some fruit was quite literally left to rot on the vines, and hired temporary laborers were brought in from offworld for two-week assignments in the fields and in the processing facilities. A perfect combination of wet and dry seasons, combined with the ever-tropical climate and the slowly improving soil quality and modernized farming methods indicated that an expansion of the processing facilities and the spaceport would be needed if yields remained this high. There would be more than enough work for a few thousand new colonists, as well, and in fact more hands were an absolute necessity if this past season were repeated. The local farming guild wrote a letter to the governor's office to inform him of their needs.*
