What might seem at a first glance a common filecase, is in reality a miniaturized but perfect functional HYDROPONIC GARDEN! Complete with all the accessories, including a starting furniture of seeds and growth accelerator, this incredible device will only need a small amount of energy to fuel its UV lamps, and only some minutes of your time every day to replenish the water tank and occasionally change the plants positions. Perfect for the domestic situation, where you can use it to grow spices, lattuce, and various herbs. An integrated chipset will give readings about temperature and moistness; you can even set up an automated alarm on your NeuralNet should the water levels become too low.
[color=#009900]The AquaFarm Plus! - 12000Cr
This colorful and esthetically pleasing structure is not some piece of modern art, but a true wonder of hydroponic technology! Along with the same growth system of the aforementioned Garden Kit, the Aquafarm features a revolutionary water recycling system that additionally allows to host a small colony of fishes - be it for the pleasure of their company, or that of their flesh. Given the slightly larger size of the AquaFarm, it is recommended for more large habitations, or even public structures. The AquaFarm boasts the same automated monitoring as the Handy Garden, plus automated feeding for the fishes.

This simple yet efficient structure allows for the cultivation of tall stem plants, like for example tomatoes or vinegrapes. With the standard support bars, it can be placed basically everywhere and it takes exactly the same space as the plant it is intended to nurture; on the other hand, large numbers of SuperGrowth Modules can be linked together and attached in rows on ceiling supports, thus being able to sustain even vaste indoor cultivations. Each module has UV lamps and distinct sprayers for water and fertilizers. The SuperGrowth Module requires less energy, compared to the more sophisticated hydroponic gardens, but give its basic structure and materials, it is more subject to occasional maintenance needs.

([color=#009900]HydroFarm Control Station - 100000Cr)
The best of the best for intensive hydroponic farming, the HydroFarm System Plus has the same modular concept seen in the SuperGrowth Module, but with enhanced technology and automation. Each module has a localized control chipset that monitors temperature, moistness and water composition; all modules are then linked to a control station where all monitor readings are displayed with their location and time. Given the sophistication of this system, it is recommended for larger cultivations, such as biodomes or similar structures. Up to 5000 modules can be linked to the same control station, thus dramatically reducing the personnel required to monitor the well-being of the plants.

Senor de Shahrizai... I'm not sure if I said it correctly, if not, pardon me... your articles are indeed intriguing. Expecially because, in the last days, I was beginning to think about hydroponics as a possible solution to our little food issue.
Since the Empire already knows you and your vessel (our thanks for the numerous shipments of food and commodities, by the way), I'll get straight to the point: I'm hereby making an order for 200 SuperGrowth Module pieces, 4 Handy Garden Kits and 1 AquaFarm Plus, for a total sum of 432.000 credits. You will receive your payment upon delivery. Sending private comms frequency *encrypted data burst follows*
Senore, I believe you should also send this file to representatives of Cryer Pharmaceuticals. Although, however good your intentions might be, we would require a rather larger scale devices. But gracias anyway. You made me laugh today.
