Rayari Inc.

Rayari Inc. is a human research company that specializes in agriculture and bio-engineering. It was founded in 2803 by Clara Douglas, Edward Kesamyn, and Asif Reader, and first came to prominence when its founders created a complete line of plants recreated from the genetic code of ones indigenous to the then recently massacred planet Garron II. In 2863, the company expanded into social engineering, creating large arcologies such as Reza's Landing designed for planets with hostile environments. Rayari maintains many laboratories throughout the United Empire of Earth (UEE), performing a wide variety of experiments in space and on planets.

Some of the company's genetically engineered flora are on display throughout The Commons and the rest of New Babbage, in the hope of inspiring a new generation of terraformational expansion.

Dracaena Pura: Designed to be grown in wet soil and marshland, the dracaena pura acts as a natural aquifer, cleaning water as it passes through its root system. The height of the plant helps it distribute the pollutants it collects to a lower toxicity level that it can successfully cope with.

Elysian Bloom: This carnivorous plant catches insects with the sticky resin it secretes, allowing it to act as an exterminator for unwanted pests and to survive in severely nitrogen-depleted soil.

Flight-of-Fancy: Created to help alleviate symptoms caused by other airborne allergens, the pollen from the flight-of-fancy's bright flowers is a natural antihistamine capable of blocking histamine receptors. Its large broad leaves also provide ample shade, making it ideal to plant near habitat areas.

Fortress Palm: The designers of this plant intended to protect it from as many herbivore tactics as possible to ensure that its harvest could reach full maturity undisturbed while leaving it non-toxic. The spikes along the trunk make climbing difficult, the bark appears diseased and dead, and the leaves contain barbed alkaloids that cause extreme pain on skin contact.

Giboshi Bane: The leaves of this plant were crafted to excrete an oil that serves as a natural insect repellent. Planting it in symbiosis with other, more valuable crops is intended to serve as a deterrent to harmful pests.

Grand Flabellum: When worlds are first being settled, high winds can be a serious issue until enough plant life can take hold. The grand flabellum, with its wide leaf structure and deep root system, acts as an erosion break, helping to protect more delicate plants and structures.

Haldor Lily: The closely woven structure of the haldor lilies provides them with extreme strength and durability. Suitable for planets plagued with torrential storms or swarming insects, this lily is one of the hardier plants ever fabricated.

Midnight Calathea: Created to survive in near no-light conditions. The resulting altered chlorophyll structure gives the plant its dark coloring and unique woven-like texture. This research is hoped to help populate worlds with long night cycles.

Sail Casia: Related to the colocasia, this plant features enormous broad leaves that are pliable and water resistant, making it an ideal plastic substitute on remote worlds. Its sprawling root structure is also an edible starch when cooked.

Storm Rider Palm: The unique leaves of this palm variant show a large leap in bio-engineering possibilities thanks to their meticulously designed aerodynamic structure, which allows the plant to endure hurricane-strength winds.

Yellow Puglath: Derived from a Xi'an desert plant, the many ridges along its trunk are ideal for capturing early morning dew in arid climates. The internal storage cells can collect up to a gallon of drinking water a day in the right conditions.

The company also produces Ceprozin, a side-effect-free drug used against inflammation and pain.

History

Rayari Inc. was incorporated around 2803 by Edward Kesamyn, Clara Douglas, and Asif Reader. The three founders met as fresh graduates of UPARQ while working for the UEE Agriculture Department under Imperator Ulysses Messer X. Tasked with developing a fermentation compound for use as a preservative, they instead conceived a method of grafting the roots of hardy indigenous plants onto common crops, opening new agricultural possibilities to farmers across the Empire. The company has remained at the forefront of agricultural technology in the decades since, and is widely known for its initiatives and charities committed to ending hunger.

Although many associate Rayari with agriculture, it has taken a more commercial direction in recent decades and is considered one of the leading agricultural technology and development companies in the UEE. Its laboratories perform a wide range of experiments in the hope of finding breakthroughs that advance Humanity.
