'''Emergency rations''', also known as '''ration cubes''', '''combat rations''', or '''field rations''', are [[food]] supplements typically used when [[food slot]]s, [[replicator]]s and/or conventional food supplies are unavailable.
 
 
During the [[2360s]], while attending [[Starfleet Medical Academy]], [[Julian Bashir]] designed a flavorful [[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}})
 
 
In the [[2370s]], standard Starfleet rations were a time-released formula of all the nutrients the body needs for three days. ({{DS9|The Siege}}) '''Ration packs''' contained additional condiments such as [[salt]], [[pepper]] and bottles of [[water]]. ({{DS9|Waltz}})
 
 
[[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}})
 
 
When [[Major]] [[Kira Nerys|Kira]] and [[Gul]] [[Dukat]] searched [[Dozaria]] for survivors of the ''[[Ravinok]]'' in [[2372]], they also had field rations. Dukat hadn't had some for a long time and assumed they hadn't become better since then; Kira then told him they had actually become a little worse. ({{DS9|Indiscretion}})
 
 
After their [[Danube class]] [[runabout]] crashed on a [[planet]] in [[2373]], [[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 even 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|TKL]]s, a form of ration. ({{TNG|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}})''
