'''Emergency rations''', also known as '''ration cubes''', '''combat rations''', or '''field rations''', are a time-released formula of all the nutrients the body needs for three days. Rations are typically used when [[food slot]]s, [[replicator]]s and/or conventional [[food]] supplies are unavailable. ([[DS9]]: "[[The Siege]]")
 
 
'''Ration packs''' contain additional condiments such as [[salt]], [[pepper]] and bottles of [[water]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[Waltz]]")
 
 
During the [[2360s]], while attending [[Starfleet Medical Academy]], [[Julian Bashir]] designed an incredible [[candy bar]] that was far superior in food value than [[Starfleet]] combat rations. ([[DS9]]: "[[The Siege]]")
 
 
Quantities of emergency rations were transferred to [[Deep Space 9]] to keep it stocked until replicators and food supplies could be restored when the [[Federation]] took control of the [[space station|station]] in [[2369]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[Emissary (episode)|Emissary]]")
 
 
[[Chief]] [[Miles O'Brien|Miles O'Brien's]] many years of field duty gave him a certain appreciation for rations; he commented on them as being "the miracle of science" when he was one of the crewpeople remaining during the [[Bajoran]] [[Alliance for Global Unity]]'s siege of Deep Space 9 in [[2370]]. He noted that field rations were one of the few things he missed about the [[Federation-Cardassian War|Cardassian Wars]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[The Siege]]") However, he disliked [[alien]] foods that were the ration provisions of non-Federation cultures, such as the [[T'Lani]] and [[Kellerun]] rations [[doctor|Dr.]] Bashir found on [[T'Lani III]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[Armageddon Game]]")
 
 
After their [[Danube class]] [[runabout]] crashed on a [[planet]], [[Quark]] and [[Odo]] had to survive on rations as the replicators were offline and the local [[plant]]s were [[poison]]ous. Unfortunately, several of the ration packs were also lost in the crash. Quark would later say that the rations were "crumbs". ([[DS9]]: "[[The Ascent]]")
 
 
In early [[2374]], [[Benjamin Sisko]] and his crew were equipped with rations on a captured [[Jem'Hadar attack ship]]. After [[Nog]] told O'Brien they would have "plenty of field rations", something which O'Brien thought would be a problem after eating them for three weeks. ([[DS9]]: "[[A Time to Stand]]")
 
 
:''In an [[alternate timeline]] [[Starfleet]] served meals called [[TKL ration]]s, which were a form of rations. ([[TNG]]: "[[Yesterday's Enterprise|Yesterday's ''Enterprise'']]")''
 
 
:''The [[crew]] of the [[USS Voyager|USS ''Voyager'']] was forced to go to emergency rations in another alternate timeline after numerous [[Krenim]] attacks had damaged the [[power relay]]s, taking the replicator system offline. ([[VOY]]: "[[Year of Hell, Part I]]")''
