"Huh. There's probably enough Kel ration bars t' feed the crew for three years, but that's not my idea of a good time. There's actually a pretty good amount of fresh foodstuffs, produce, dairy, even meat, but I'd need t' know about our suspended storage on the ship.* In between, there's enough canned and frozen stores for more than a year. But what about those other ships? They'll be drawing on the same supplies, right?"
*So here's the thing. The exotic effects that are discussed in the series are pretty much all aimed toward controlling or destructive ends, which makes sense because the He*archate sucks. But what about constructive ends? I mean, an army marches on its stomach, right? Can't some of that technology be put toward keeping foodstuffs usable without damage? Freezing does rotten things to an awful lot of edibles, and canning mostly requires semi-destructive heat. Can't there be some form of food storage that's basically suspended animation for food?
