Chapter 16 - The Hill Province (Patreon)
Content
Hill Province, like its name suggested, was extremely hilly but it also used to be a major agricultural center for the region and planet, providing a lot of valuable crops that required rich soil and abundant water. The hills in the area funneled the rainfall nicely and the province used to have some of the best soil and crop yields in the entire region.
It was a desolate wasteland now, ever since the Cardassians had contaminated the soil with poisons and other toxins. Of course, the Cardassians had claimed that it had been an industrial accident, even blaming and executing several Bajorans for it, but it was clear to everyone that it was yet another evil act and horror committed on the Bajoran people. A half-starved population of slaves who had to congregate in population centers was far more easily controlled after all.
