The system and starport where the Rare Good is located. Solar system, somewhere near Earth.
Means to create - Researh will need huge amount of resources.
1) Power Generators
2) Water Purifiers
3) Progenitor Cells
4) Ancient Artifacts. Scientific research was not started from 0. There always was legend about ancient spicies that could live about 700 years. Primary goal was to find evidence of their biology and medicine. Some tell that Elixir was not developed buy humans and was just replicated from 1 of ancient artifact.
5) Computer Components. Huge amount. This will decrypt human bilogy or ancient arctifacts?

* Name of Rare Good: Yamazaki Dream Cream

* Shortish Description: Yamazaki Dream Cream is a pleasant smelling substance that when smeared on the forehead produces thrilling, adventure-filled dreams when in REM sleep.

Why spend thousands of credits on invasive virtual reality implants when you can have the most exiting and exotic dreams you've ever experienced and it's completely natural. Wake up every morning feeling exhilarated and thoroughly entertained. The best thing about Yamazaki Dream cream is that you never know what your gonna get. Your own brain is the most creative force in the universe, you'll be amazed at what it comes up with.

You'll fight sky dragons in the atmosphere of gas giants and rescue maidens from undersea castles. You'll find treasure in a field of dreams, be kidnapped by pirates and become one of them.

Yamazaki Dream Cream guarantees total recall after waking and has no harmful side effects. It's even safe to use on animals so your pets can share the fun.

Yamazaki Dream Cream was developed thousands of years ago by Shinto monks who discovered a strange purple moss growing at the side of the waterfall that supplied their monastery in the foothills of Mount Fuji. The pollen from the moss sometimes leaked into their water supply causing some monks to have what they thought were religious experiences. After many years a young monk named Hiro Yamazaki, who possessed a scientific mind, theorised that the strange purple moss could be the cause of the dreams after a huge storm washed away the moss and the amazing dreams stopped coming. When eventually the moss returned, Hiro started experimenting with samples and was eventually able to refine key ingredients into a paste which came to be known as the famous Yamazaki Dream Cream.

The descendants of Hiro Yamazaki now reside in the system of Anana at Yamazaki base where they live out their monastic lives. They cultivate the rare moss that grows only under very specific conditions which have been perfectly reproduced in bio-cells on board the station.

In order to make the sweet smelling paste the monks require large amounts of algae.

* System & Starport: Anana, Yamazaki Base

* Means to Create: Transport 50 000 canisters of algae to Yamazaki Base.
