Maquiladora

“Maquiladora” is a term originating from Exandria, which translates to “workhouse.” When refugees seek shelter within The Radiant Citadel, they are often directed to the maquiladora via the Palace of Exile.   Once the dedicated volunteers at the palace ensure that the refugees have received nourishment, clean clothing, and bedding, they guide them toward the Maquiladora.   Individuals who pledge a mere two hours of work per day at the workhouse are provided with accommodation and sustenance for the duration of their stay in the Citadel. Workers have the flexibility to choose their preferred working hours, as long as they fulfil a minimum of 20 hours per week. Should they desire, they can opt to work additional hours, with a cap set at 40 hours per week. Furthermore, they receive a modest salary in compensation for the extra labour they undertake.   The primary responsibility of the Maquiladora lies in the processing of imported raw food supplies originating from the founding civilizations. These supplies include Hopi-Maize and Soybeans from Godsbreath, as well as Jelli Fruit from Zinda.   In response to the recent infestation of Phase Rats in Little Pozole, the Maquiladora has expanded its operations to include butchery. Workers now have the opportunity to learn the skills of a butcher or engage in the vital task of rat catching.
