'''Curtiss Hydroponics''' (also referred to as Curtiss Hydrosystems<ref>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)''</ref>), listed as "CHydro", is a major industrial conglomerate based on [[Paradise]] in the [[Free Worlds League]]. Originally, they were a small manufacturer of hydroponic food production systems. Curtiss then became known for manufacturing and distributing the TriFil water purification system that nearly drove the [[Ryan Cartel]] bankrupt, and then in [[2668]] purchasing all of the Ryan Cartel's assets which they continue to operate as their own Ryan's Iceship Division.<ref name=HB:HMp137>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 137, "Curtiss Hydroponics profile"</ref>

==History==
+
Curtiss Hydroponics (Power Systems Division) is a division that branched into the IndustrialMech market. Following the destruction of its [[Curtiss Militech]] [[BattleMech]] factory on Paradise and the imposition of a moratorium on BattleMech construction by [[Devlin Stone]], Curtiss Hydroponics withdrew from the military market and focused instead on the civilian sector reconstruction following the [[Jihad]]. The move into IndustrialMechs was thought of as a way to both supply the massive reconstruction effort and circumvent the BattleMech restrictions at the same time.<ref name=RS:3145NTNUp7>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 7, "BattleMechs"</ref>

Originally, Curtiss Hydroponics was a small manufacturer of hydroponic food production systems before taking a contract from the [[Star League]] in [[2618]] to manufacturing and distributing the [[TriFil]] water purification system. Their success nearly drove the [[Ryan Cartel]] bankrupt, and in [[2668]] Curtiss ended up purchasing all of the Ryan Cartel's assets which they continued to operate as their own Ryan Iceship Division.<ref name=HM:FWLp128/>

After the [[Amaris Civil War]] concluded and the Star League was disbanded shortly after, the patent to the TriFil process became the property of Curtiss Hydroponics.<ref name=H:HMp119>''Handbook: House Marik'', pp. 119, 137</ref> Sensing war on the horizon, Curtiss pumped its profits into amassing a vast stockpile of essential chemicals and replacement parts, even reinvesting in new [[iceship]]s which hadn't been done in nearly two centuries. During the [[Succession Wars]], water purification production facilities became military targets, yet due to the stockpiling, 70–80% of Marik worlds remained supplied with pure water.<ref name=HM:FWLp128/>

Iceships continued to be in relied upon well into the [[thirty-first century]], and the Ryan Iceship Division's fleet, which grew to fifty-one vessels by [[3067]], was the sole lifeline of water to over a dozen League worlds along with a few [[Capellan Confederation|Capellan]] worlds on occasion.<ref name=H:HMp137/><ref name=HM:FWLp129>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 129</ref>

Curtiss Hydroponics' Power Systems Division branched into the IndustrialMech market. Following the destruction of its [[Curtiss Militech]] [[BattleMech]] factory on Paradise in [[3080]] and the imposition of a moratorium on BattleMech construction by [[Devlin Stone]], Curtiss withdrew from the military market and focused instead on the civilian sector reconstruction following the [[Jihad]]. The move into IndustrialMechs was thought of as a way to both supply the massive reconstruction effort and circumvent the BattleMech restrictions at the same time.<ref name=RS:3145NTNUp7>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 7: "BattleMechs"</ref>
