Dung has many uses, in terraforming and weapon technology. However normal Scuttlebugs do not 'produce' dung with this property, only Bogeril farmers hold the secret of the special 'brew' that the bugs are fed on since their larvae stages.

Due to these factors, dung sold at vendors in the new sector has the price it does, though unfortunatly many farmers have reported thefts. "I goes out to check ma bugs this mornin' and I finds they got theived!". This worrying trend is being blamed on the price of dung and the overall demand.

One smuggler said "It's simple, drop the prices and smuggling will stop". This is Zenner reporting.
