Developed by Karavin Concern, a Nelvaanian military-industrial conglomerate, at the request of the Eternal Army, the M-322 is a standardized ration pack which contains sufficient food and water for 24 hours, in a compact, vacuum-sealed Duralumin package slightly more voluminous than a one liter bottle. Issued out to the Eternal Army during deployments, as well as being available for commercial purchase, the M-322 is designed to provide adequate nutrition to a wide variety of species, a necessary feature dictated by the Eternal Empire's multi-species army, in order to simplify logistics.
It comes in the form of a battery-powered self-sealing container, with the individually-packaged contents held within separated compartments and holds enough supplies for three meals, as well as enough water for a day. In order to reduce the number of eating utensils required, so as to save space and weight, the M-322 contains a multifunctional spork, which can also be used to open the packaged meals.
The M-322 is designed for function over comfort and due to the artificial ingredients of the ration pack, its taste has been described as bland and synthetic, often compared to medicine by most individuals which have eaten it.
