>>212450557 (OP)Most of the crew likely consumed standard Imperial rations, which consisted of nutrient-rich but bland meals such as protein bars, rehydrated dishes, and nutrient pastes designed for efficiency and sustenance. Higher-ranking officers had access to better food in designated mess halls, where they might be served roasted meats, vegetables grown hydroponically onboard or imported, and even alcoholic beverages like Corellian brandy. Enlisted troops and stormtroopers generally ate in communal dining areas, where meals were simple and utilitarian, often consisting of stew-like dishes, recycled water, and vitamin supplements. Food on the Death Star was usually synthetic or heavily processed, sourced from loyal Imperial worlds, and occasionally used to reward or discipline personnel. There are also mentions of hydroponic gardens and food processing units aboard large installations, which supplied fresh produce or synthetic meat alternatives.
