Department of Agriculture and Fisheries / DAF

Since the dawn of modern civilisation, the production of food and consumables have increased in demand as populations continue to grow. The advent of interplanetary, and later, intergalactic travel have lead to new discoveries of agriculture, live-stock lifeforms and consumables.

The Department of Agriculture and FIsheries (DAF) was formed in 2140, after the planetary famine of Erthe, induced by the proliferation of ‘Nutri-gen” practices. At the time it was a scientific breakthrough that increased crop yield and hastened growth rates exponentially. Little was known then that this new technology would lead to the irreparable breakdown of the soil structure, reducing once-vast areas of farmland to barren waste.

Erthe stood on the verge of extinction and turned to the stars for aid. But aid came slowly. And Erthe withered to dust.

The DAF was formed from the remains of planetary extinction, in order to better understand and protect the scarcity of natural consumable resources. A team of scientists, engineers and enforces banded together under one unified goal.
