Verde Glen Centipede Soup

Verde Glen Centipede Soup



This local delicacy of Planet Verde Glen, a Union Colony in the Coreward Sector (Klack Region VI )

is a true Union success story.

Verde Glen is a modern and recently established Union Colony in the Coreward Sector and at the fringes between Klack Hegemony and the former Shiss Empire.

The world, a lucious green Garden World (Type A3) was more or less ignored after the initial survey because it wa a little to close to Shiss space for most Colonists.But when Fleet established the headquarters of the 38th Fleet in T'Tak System (only 6 light years away) BoCA found a group of New-Starters [1] for Verde Glen. (first colonists arrived in 5000)

The planet, home to a diverse Bio sphere and several thousand bio forms akin to centipedes and milipedes offered many business opportunities. A trio of former Union Fleet buddies, a Klack, a Shiss and a Terran Human discovered that one particular Centipede could be boiled, shelled and gutted and consumes pretty much like Terran lobstet or shrimp.

According to many, it even had a somewhat similar taste.

The Red Wergel centipede was abundant and Nolan Thomas, the Human came up with a recipe and received a grand from the Small Business Development administration of the Citizen Bureau.

The soup introduced at the 5011 Union Week Celebration (Union Feast day ) at Pluribus and was an instant hit with a wide range of species.

The Three-Buddies Company of Verde Glen exports 50,000 portions of soup every month and currently building a third Centipede Farm.

Currently the soup is marketed only via direct GalNet sales, as the production is not big enough to meet the minimum order demands of Union wide supermarkets and grocery stores.
