Mess Bay

Depending on the size and purpose of a starship, a mess bay might be a small room stocked with a basic food synthesizer and a table for four to a full-service cafeteria staffed by specialized minibots programmed to cook delicious meals for crew members of any culture, species, and taste preference. In addition to fresh provisions (or UPB-to-meal synthesizers), a mess hall stores 30 days of ready-to-eat travel rations, which are refilled automatically at port.
