Grand Feast to be hosted on the 23rd in honor of the hard working and dedicated farmers and ranchers of the Kresh Root Society
Nannaras X
November 20th YC 120
This coming Friday, November 23rd, colonists of Hoiyori are all invited to join one another at the Commune Plaza for a festival in honor of the hard working men and women of the Kresh Root Society.
For the unaware, the Kresh Root Society is the collective of farmers and ranchers working the fields and stables of the Zaibatsu. They’re the unsung heroes that ensure every colonist in Hoiyori has fresh organic ingredients to cook delicious meals rich in nutrients for themselves or family members. On the 23rd, these individuals will be given the praise they rightfully deserve with a grand feast in their honor.
This call for celebration is in light of the bountiful harvest the Society has reaped this season. So bountiful in fact, that storage for food products has become so scarce that pallets loaded with product are going bad from being stored outside and exposed to the ever changing weather and temperatures. With that said, this festival serves another purpose to burn though this surplus stock being put out by the Kresh Root Society.
Despite the name, the Society produces far more than kresh roots and offers a wide variety of meats, vegetables, and fruits to cater to any palette regardless of ethnicity. Most of the produce is even native to Nannaras X, such as the Gumacha fruit, a green skinned fruit with a sourish taste that is high in vitamin B. Or the Mogo leak, a long vegetable that promotes good oral health by containing antibacterial components that can zap any bacteria residing on one’s teeth. These are but two examples on a impressive list of food items that can be cultivated in the soil of Nannaras X. A planet filled to the brim with exotic types of vegetation and wildlife that is still being documented to this day. Much of it can and will be released to any attendees that join in on the festivities on the 23rd with informational booths present to teach anyone about the local flora and fauna, offering deeper insight to their nutritional value and role in the ecosystem.
Farmers in attendance will be representing their homestead and will have the honor to meet our revered Patriarch and CORE council members during the festival,as well as a chance to meet some esteemed guests being invited down to Hoiyori to join the party and establish a stronger bond between the organizations they represent and the Raata Zaibatsu. In attendance will be @Galm_Eskola-Fae of the Bosena Accords, @Sterling_Blades of the United Neopian Federation and an invitation was sent to Sapphire Interstellar Capital Holdings to send a representative of their choice. These guests will implored to partake in the festivities, but will primarily be present in Hoiyori for a closed doors meeting between them and the Patriarch to discuss establishing a closer relationship between one another’s organizations. The exact details are unknown at the time, but ZANIE will be there to report on anything that comes of it.
Circling back over to the situation of to much food surplus to store, multiple root causes have been pointed out,such as the possibility that the Kresh Root Society are over zealously being funded and in turn expanding farmland and growing more produce than there are mouths to consume it all. On the other hand however this suggests that maybe the Zaibatsu is prepared to expand residential space to accommodate additional colonists with the comforting thought that they can produce enough food to sustain them. Unfortunately Namiyo is lacking optimal space for a new residential district and the ongoing talks to purchase the X-ZFA12 landmass are still moving slowly. Another possible issue, pointed out by Stelmari Oksasio, is the policies in place preventing his Exchange from taking some of the surplus and selling it on the open market to clear up warehouses and increase available funds for the Zaibatsu. The policy being referred to is a policy stating that the only module that should be responsible for distribution of food stock in the Zaibatsu is colony administration, with an exception made to the Myrskytuuli Regiment to enable them to have their own food for rationing out.
Stelmari had this to say
“We got all this fancy food native to this world we brag about, but we ain’t sharing it. Well, why don’t we for a price? You put some strange, odd lookin’ fruits or veggies in a market in say…the Federation? Yeah, it’s gonna sell pretty quickly. That vegan hipster crowd over there would buy this stuff out of my HANDS like i was peddling starcakes fresh out the oven. It’s all organic too! I would have absolutely zero problems selling this stuff.”

Another festival right around the corner is the return of Auljam Karvose’s “Bejawl” were the artistic talent of the Karvose Collaboration Studio will be showcased for all colonists of Hoiyori to witness. As well as Auljam’s second chance to leave a good impression on the population with his continued efforts to establish pro-wrestling in the Zaibatsu. The second Bejawl is scheduled for the 1st of December, but word coming out of the mill is that Auljam is frantically trying to organize the event while preparing talent. A postponing of the event is potential, but cancellation is not a possibility as the Patrairch has expressed overwhelming approval of the first Bejawl aside from the blunderous “Main Event” that the event closed on. Overall, it fulfilled the purpose Auljam originally stated when he first revealed the event to the Zaibatsu, a chance for the creative and talented colonists to Hoiyori to show everyone what they can make.
ZANIE looks forward to the feast on the 23rd, and looks forward to any updates it brings.
