Processing Plant 347: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:03, 27 March 2021

Processing Plant 347 is one of Vistula's many agricultural processing plants.

In 2491 CE, 347 is tasked with processing food for New Chicago, more specifically the Earth Defense Directorate's pilot corps. Integrating poison into the food packaging, Kaleel's followers are able to circumnavigate the Food Directorate's standard safety inspections, a fact later uncovered by Ryma's brother.

On the first night of his arrival on Vistula, William "Buck" Rogers is told about the processing plant by Ryma, and Rogers infiltrates the plant to uncover what Ryma's brother had previously discovered. Despite a tussle with the nomad workers on duty, Rogers recovers a sample of the poisoned food packaging and gives it to Maj. Fields for the Science Directorate's investigation (BR25: "Planet of the Slave Girls").

-Some time prior to [[2491]] CE, [[Human]]s settle on Vistula and a group become nomads living in the [[Sea of Stone]]; in the decade or so leading up to 2491, the nomads would begin organizing under [[Kaleel]], a charismatic cult leader who fooled a large majority of the Sea of Stone's people into believing that [[Earth]] was their enemy, including their appointed governor, [[Tabor Saroyan]].

-Under Saroyan, appointed by the Earth [[Food Directorate]] for three successive terms over approximately two decades, the workers of Vistula cultivate vegetable and protein product to be constituted into [[food disc]]s to supply the nutritional requirements of Earth. Kaleel and his followers are able to introduce poison into the food shipments over a period of time, by integrating them into the packaging of the food itself from [[Processing Plant 347]]: food meant for the Earth [[Defense Directorate]]'s pilot corps in [[New Chicago]].
