Vita-Nutrient Ration (Vita-Nut)

Developed by Endymion Technologists specifically for Overseers, the Vita-Nutrient Ration is an Endymion's primary source of sustenance during their off-world duties. It has since seen much use in the war, allowing an Endymion to quickly replenish their stamina between lulls in combat. The Vita-Nutrient Ration currently exists in two forms: a solid, gel-filled wafer like consumable, and a liquid of aqua-green color. The ration composed of synthesized blend of vitamins, immuno-boosters, necessary salts and minerals, energy supplements, and nutritional supplements, as well as a small dose of liquid Vita+ to stimulate regeneration of any wounds and relieve fatique.

Composition
In solid form it usually takes the form of a block-like chewable with gel-filled center that is taffy-like in texture. Most doses of the ration are 4cmx4cm squares that supply enough sustenance to last an average day. The liquid form can take the shape of a gel capsule or be stored in a container. Endymion power armor has recently had a small resevoir installed to allow the liquid to be stored and ingested without needing to remove the armor. Additionally, it has been carefully crafted to allow ingestion by nearly any sentient species without fear of an allergic reaction. The ration quickly breaks down and dissolves into the consumer's "soul", eliminating the need for physical digestion.

Effectiveness
While most Endymion have the utmost respect for such a creation by the Technologists, it has gained notoriety within The Order for its rather disgusting taste even by the most extreme standards. And while more culinary Technologists have managed to improve the quality of the taste, it is still unpalatable by many trainees during their first few survival training operations. It is recommened to be eaten in small bites and/or drunken in small sips during initial samplings in order to prevent a sudden gag reflex.
