Nutristick

Nutristicks were a type of ration meal that was protein-dense and sealed in gray rectangular containers with tear-off tops. During the High Republic Era, the Trade Federation had nutristicks available from dispensers on board its WD-2550 Whydah-class Yield Conveyer Fallon, with batch-based color coding on the packaging to help track freshness. The packets were also marked with a six-pointed emblem. The cost of the rations was deducted from the pay of mekneks who ate them on board the vessel, but the human meknek Verosha Aniseya developed a taste for them. In 132 BBY, she grabbed one from a dispenser outside her bunk room and tore it open, eating it as she spoke with her colleague Fillik.
