Probational Administrator.
I am pleased you decided to reach out to us, and am glad that we can finally put that bit of business behind us. The best of intentions is something we never abandoned, and I hope to prove that to you today.
Pygar is an interesting case. From what little my bio-engineers have already told me, and from what is common knowledge, surface development is essentially an impossibility without serious investment and know-how from groups such as Planetform. While making a desert arable isn't out of the question, making one with such violent and constant sandstorms is. This rules out our typical and most cost-effective planetary development schemes, such as those on Los Angeles and Stuttgart.
Biodomes are another attractive option, but unfortunately Pygar precludes their traditional usage as well. Biodome greenhouse glass can be reinforced up to a point, but reinforcing against wind speeds in excess of 800 km/h is essentially untenable. Underground, the usage of Biodomes would be relatively moot, as it would require significant underground excavation which might very well disturb the existing architecture and, in addition, be little more effective than traditional hydroponics as access to Theta's star would be lost.
If you would permit as such, I would like to dispatch a team of Bio-Engineers to the surface of Pygar indefinitely to better study this problem in detail, and note locations within Pygar's existing underground infrastructure where developing traditional hydroponics, or perhaps new solutions entirely, might be done in such a way to have minimal impact on existing living space. We will also need to discuss methods of maintaining such hydroponics, as while Synth Foods has prided itself on the developments made in wastewater recycling, simple napkin-math calculations have already shown that large-scale drip irrigated hydroponics would necessitate rather constant shipments of replacement water from out-system.
I am unfamiliar with the exact administration structure of Pygar, but I would also like to work with you to begin developing a subsidiary organization, or company, or what have you, that works alongside the Zoners of Pygar, one whose goal would be to train incoming refugees in the operation of such installed hydroponics, thereby providing a form of employment. The development of a third-party organization would also ensure the, ehm, neutrality of the Zoners remains respected, as I'm sure it would only complicate matters should those employees be on Synth Foods' payroll.
I will hopefully return with more information on the problem, and should you wish, a quote for initial hydroponics development to meet the needs of Pygar's existing population plus five years of expected growth. For what it is worth, I will gladly stand by my promise made to you in orbit that Pygar's first hydroponics facility will be delivered freely, and all others at-cost.
Regards,
Jay Stevens
