Hi everybody I just made a small wood crate to carry my guardsmen around. I want label it's contents corpse rations but I dont know what else to write. So what do you all think? how should I write the label? what warnings should I include like do not feed to ratlings after midnight or poisonous in large quanties any ideas?
If it helps the crate is roughly 8inX12inX24in or 16cmX24cmX48cm. I guess I should include weight, number of rations, expiration date(how do I write Imperial dating?), etc...

It wouldn't be Vegetarian.
Consider what's usually stamped on MREs.
>Producing company/guild
>Site/Planet of manufacture and source of ingredients
>Name of product
>Number of individually packed bars of corpse starch
>Use-by date
>Administratum seal of approval
>Departmento Munitorum Quartermaster seal of approval
>Regimental seal of receipt
>Storage instructions (temperature, pressures, void exposure rating, etc)
>Instructions on consumption (Either open pack and bite, or something more complex)
>Imperial insignia
Probably not Nutritional information since the Imperium doesn't give a fuck.

you could start with the stuff thats on an MRE label, and just add additional warnings and such.

It'll probably say how many/day for survival
But things as esoteric as calories won't matter

thanks, this makes alot of sense.
Corpse starch doesn't make sense. You must eat several thousand times your own weight in a lifetime, so you can't make ALL your food out of JUST corpses. Even with Star Trek replicator tech, the basic elements would mostly come from sewage.

Well the reality isn't any less grimdark.

They don't usually serve corpse starch, they are an emergency ration. Usually used to make the best out of a bad situation.

Depending on the source and location, 'corpse starch' may just be a colorful nickname for shitty, run-of-the-mill rations instead of being made from actual corpses.
