OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Distributed individually or as part of ration kits across Enclave Space, Mandalorian Pemmican is a high energy food used strategically to keep going through intense, extended levels of activity. Comes in a variety of styles, including an all fruit version.
Made normally by harvesting Shatual meat, cutting it into thin strips dried in the air under a hot sun while being slowly roasted then ground down into an almost powdered state, then mixed with melted fat, sugar, industrial preservatives and nutrient infusions, dried fruit being the final ingredient. Similar processes occur with fish based pemmican. Production time can be cut by using only toasted meal grain or dried fruit with the other typical ingredients. It's massive longevity and energy bestowing properties can make it a mild strategic resource, and Mobius Surplus Works quietly distributes this at a profit through allied vendors

- Prepared in such a way that the user doesn't want to drink down large amounts of water after consumption. Keeps user highly energized and alert for up to 12 hours after, allowing them to remain awake and energized for up to 24 hours after consumption without tiring.
- Incredibly tasty at room or warm temperatures.
- Comes in hermetically sealed packaging that can be buried in sand or mud, submerged in ice, warm or cold water without suffering degradation. Packaging can be melted down to emergency weapons or armor.
- Why won't you spoil: A combination of the recipes own, natural hardiness and industrial preservatives added to the tallow render this incredibly long lasting food, able to keep at room temperature without spoiling for 120 years, it's packaging allowing it to be buried or submerged almost anywhere without degradation. Also eating it will not make someone want to consume large amounts of water to wash it down.
- Yum!: Tasty no matter the variety it is served in, which comes in Multiple Varieties, such as a meat version (Roasted Shatual), Gihaal (Fish based), Toasted Meal Grain, and an all fruit version, and can be served at room temperature, warm or cooked, or eaten cold (Not as tasty as normal temperature unless it's the toasted meal or fruit version)
- Dual use: It's Packaging can be melted down into weapon and armor parts. The food itself can be traded as a strategic resource on poor worlds
- Wait Time: The creation of Pemmican is immensely labor intensive, especially for the meat based Pemmican, with it taking five pounds of shatual meat to create one pound of usable meat Pemmican. It takes three pounds of Gihaal to make one pound of usable fish pemmican. Even without the meat as a factor, there is still the issue of processing animal fat into Tallow, an essential ingredient in the creation of Pemmican. All of this means it can take up to three times longer to create and three times more expensive than other Mandalorian Rations (Small "Ingot": 30 credits, Medium Ingot: 60 Credits, Large Ingot: 120 credits
- Size/Weight Issues: There is simply no way to make a thin version of this product (They always turn out like cakes). The result is always bulky. It will take up room in a ruck sack or storage, limiting the number of rations of the stuff that can be carried, and the amount that can be carried or stored
- Too filling: It straddles the line between luxury and practicality. On the one hand, it's incredibly tasty and keeps you going. On the other, it's so dense that you can get through maybe a quarter of a cake before you are full, leaving to a feeling of having felt slightly cheated despite getting such a nutrient intensive ration. Also after it's effects wear off, the user may become slightly hungrier than normal after burning all that energy off.
