Fujin Tea Plantations Celebrate Bumper Crop

Plantation owners in the Fujin star system have reason to celebrate, as this year’s harvest has yielded a bumper crop of the indigenous herbs that are the primary ingredient in the famed Fujin tea. The proposed day’s festivities have been set aside however as the system’s deeply traditional Movement for Fujin Labour government have made it clear that it will be work as usual.

A small number of locals questioned the decision, and have recently begun speaking out against the rigid structure of Fujin society, protests which have thus far gone ignored. Protestors have threatened unspecified action if they continue to be dismissed, and policing has been increased around tea warehouses throughout the system in the event of sabotage.

Some Federation commentators have expressed suspicion about the working conditions amongst the lowest classes on the plantations, but the Federal government has maintained a strict policy of non-interference.
