Culinarium
The Culinarium is a research institute focused on molecular gastronomy, culinary mastery, and the genetic engineering of crops. It is part of the Mesacand Sector in the Drum of the Idari.
Purpose / Function
The Culinarium's primary goal is to research and create interesting foods to grow in the Hydroponic Towers, with a focus on flavor and nutrition. This facility was absolutely crucial during the ship's long journey to the Pact Worlds, but as its vitality fades, the institute has found new public importance as a culinary academy, restaurant, and conference center -- serving some of the best foods in the galaxy.
Every four months, the Culinarium brings out their best and brightest to create magnificent dishes for those lucky enough to get a ticket to the event, which brings additional funding to the university. The mid-year event, known as the Pact Summit, is an exclusive dinner open only to the Pact Council and its various political connections, including delegates from the Veskarium and the Azlanti Star Empire, and from smaller Near Space societies, such as Hades Paradise.
Alterations
While initially a single building, over the past three centuries the Culinarium has evolved into a culinary campus, comprised of a dozen university buildings, the primary research institute, a beautiful conference center, an adjacent dining hall, and a small hotel for diplomatic guests.
