Re: FARM Section
the FArm:
The Bottom of the ship, more or less, with the area Stopping at the forward wall ( the Hold is forward of the FArm)
and the Stern wall where the munitions stored for the Ship's Guns...Unlike the Rec Dec and Civie Section, this 'rectangle' goes from hull side to hull side.
Water Collection Units run the length to the 'farm, in the Middle, Enclosed walkways are over the Huge tanks for workers to walk. at the 4 corners are Cubes called 'barns" clockwise facing the Bow, are The Cow Pen...The Sheep pen.. Chicken pen. and on building split between goats and Pigs/
there are stacks of Huge soil contains called 'trays' by the workers,, they are rotated by the workers to keep the soil fresh..when ever possible new soil is brought in from planets..Corn, wheat, Tomatoes and other vegetables are grown to help the shops and Civies with 'fresh food'... to go along with supplies purchased at ports..
there is a 'newly made' tray that is guarded by a Hermes Sec trooper. Some two different plants brought from the Angel Moons, that the Hermes has been planting on it s other member planets
The Trays are serviced By walkways as they have some 20 feet between the next tray...huge growing light Line the tops and water is filtered down from one tray to the others.
Cats ..dozens of them, can be seen doing their 'job' sneaking around trays or hunting around the 'barns"
three barns and some smaller coop were around the perimeter, making use of every inch of space
