"Gaia"-Class Superior Hydroponics System An expansion of the standard hydroponics bay allowing complete self-sufficiency Starfliers Research Project Over the recent years, the plans for Hydroponics have become widely available, making even the most remote of outposts easier to keep up supply of necessary resources. Starfliers Research Complex within the Inverness System is not one of these remote outposts, however the crew on board are quite numerous. Discussions are slowly taking place to dedicate a substantial subsection to Hydroponics, to enable the station to have 100% self-sufficiency. This in turn would allow the Starfliers to work on numerous projects at once, without the need to import goods and services. In reality, the "Gaia"-Class Hydroponics System is mostly seen in space, connected to the Freeports as a biodome. These blueprints are planned to be either purchased or acquired to enable the same operational overhead the Freeports are accustomed to. The ultimate goal of the station's operational costs is to have as minimal costs possible whilst also providing the same services to nearby facilities. . .

. . Component I Discovery .	. . There are many Freeports in Sirius, many of which have a public display of their hydroponics facilities in space. Biodomes showing off their flora and fauna, providing necessities to the residents of the connected station. The Starfliers have operated a downsized version of the same hydroponics system, one that requires a significant upkeep of water and fertilizer to stay on top of production. The discovery side of this project is to enable and record any new technologies we discover that would allow us to build a similar system the Freeports use to stay self-sufficient.

. . Component II Research .	. . Not much can be said regarding the research side of an improved hydroponics system. It's designed to be scalable, depending on how many crew members and residents a single station has. However, with any station it does reach a point where the work needed to break even is quite big. Quite a substantial change is required in order to keep the staff well kept and happy. This is where we have reached out to other organizations and learned more about improving the standard hydroponics systems to match our current workload with over 1,700 crew.

. . Component III Outcome .	. . Combining the last two steps usually leads to the construction or completion of the project itself. In this case, the elements of the hydroponics system that would improve it substantially would have been learned and recorded. In addition to this, our teams would have been tasked with designing a similar system one tailer-made for the Starfliers Research Complex. Regular deliveries are required to complete such steps. Here our construction, deliveries and outcomes are usually kept recorded. Efforts Made to Complete Component Logistics Records Sending out a job offer to hydroponics workers .
