The Tauran Systems Agro Ship is a special design intended to make use of hydroponics technology to grow plants in space, during transport, so that they may be harvested by remote systems just prior to delivery. This ensured that food delivered with these ships would be as fresh as if it had been grown at the destination. The fleet has made use of these ships to help feed the fleeing masses, and as a result they have not been refitted to hold more passengers. The three growing chambers are in constant production, with one being planted, one growing, and one in harvest mode all of the time. Waste products from other ships are used to help rejuvinate what soil is used - though much of it is 'air grown.'
