History:

Originally when the colonists first arrived on Uystrao, a select few brought barley with them. While the initial farms failed, the barley lived on and grew wild. After many centuries, the standard barley mutated and mingled with other plants close enough to its biology to produce seeds from pollination. The result was a strain of barley that was blue in color and reputed for a mild hallucinogenic effect when cooked or used to make alcohol.

Soon after its rediscovery, a sizable section of both planets began to grow the Blue Barley, as it was now called. Initially, sales were low as most didn't know whether the new barley strain was safe for consumption or was even legal. Eventually, however, the Blue Barley won through after proving to the galaxy's safety agencies that it was, indeed, safe to eat and the hallucinogenic effect was mild enough to overlook, albeit with warning labels on the box.

Now, the Uystraoan Blue Barley is one of the leading cash crops in the Uystrao System and looks to hold its place as such in the foreseeable future.

Notable Player-Characters: N/A
Intent: To create a neat cash crop/plant for Uystrao that can be sold on the open market and made into neat things to sell on the open market.
