Dandoran: Fields of Promiscuity Livestock Holding

The engineers at Kalevala Spaceworks would pale in despair at seeing one of their renowned luxury yachts packed full of filthy livestock, but Py'zah the Hutt demands he be served only the freshest ingredients, and the simplest way to ensure the quality of his meals is by slaughtering his food on-site. The Fields of Promiscuity has facilities to hold both predator and prey, catering to any taste, however mundane or exotic.

The livestock holding deck of the yacht has been separated into two areas, in order to keep the more bloodthirsty of Py'zah's meals away from their natural prey. The herbivore stock are kept in tidy rows of individual stalls, much like speeders in a parking lot covered with manure slurry, separated only by durasteel rails and troughs full of water and sedative-laced slop—all the better to keep the various breeds of animal from getting too rowdy and attempting to stampede. Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the deck, restless predators are left to stew in durasteel-floored cages, with the scent of the prey livestock pumped through the air to keep them on the edge of a feeding frenzy. Some of these cages are unoccupied, doors left open so they can more easily be sprayed down by the ship's crew.

The "processing area"—a kind name for the bloody business of butchering meat—takes up the middle quarter of the holding deck. Py'zah insists that the cuts of meat are prepared by the traditional method of "carving it up with an enormous knife", claiming that more technologically-advanced methods create a noticeable difference in taste. Thus, butcher droids (reprogrammed protocol units, rather than combat models) go about their work at massive steel tables in the midst of conveyor belts to carry the choicest cuts to the kitchen, and bins full of "waste" cuts given to the predators as meals.
