An agrifactory was an agricultural facility used by the Verpine on their asteroid Research Station Shantipole. Topped by a giant dome, the agrifactory maintained a tropical temperature. Hundreds of six-foot tall grow walls were located in the agrifactory, arranged in rows lining the room. Large water distribution machinery was located in one corner, and solar panels were used within the facility. The grow walls were used to cultivate the fungus magenge, which was eaten exclusively by the Verpine.[1]
