Lumber Mill Number 4

Lumber Mill 4

One of sixteen low tech lumber mills (mechanical saws) operated on Parajsa Planet ( UFPC 23). The stems of a tree like fungus are harvested by manual labor, dragged by muscle power over to one of the Lumber Mills, de-skinned, kiln dried and then cut into square timber. (shipped once a month by barge to the Warden’s island and taken off planet to an Xchange)

 The lumber mills are part of the penal colony self-sustaining program. The mills and the wood harvest provides the penal colony inmates with something to do and gives them a chance to earn a local currency   called Penal Coin. The proceeds of the Penal Colony business goes into a central fund paying for the maintenance of the Penal Colony, thus reducing the cost of such facilities.

 Lumber Mill 4 was destroyed along with ten others during a Yellow Throat Shiss raid.
