The Oclec System is ruled by the curious Lady Ziadsnick. While its only terrestrial planet, Oclecca, was slated to become a farming world, it was discovered that the frequent seasonal weather made regular and widespread cultivation difficult, and as a result the infrastructure was shifted to that a settlement. However, the system lord was determined to produce foodstuff, and instead investigated the gas giant Oclec 1 in a close orbit to the star. She determined that its atmosphere was rich in mineral nutrients as well as water and carbon dioxide. This realization that the gas giant was an ideal environment for the growth of plant life, save for the existence of a soil substrate, galvanized the colonists into developing the atmosphere of the gas giant into floating farms capable of producing massive yields without the inconvenience of tilling soil. And while Oclec 1 too suffers from turbulent storms, the farms can simply be moved into a higher orbit until the danger passes.
