Great recovery[edit]
The Project Culinary Delights team has done a great job improving this article. It went from being essentially a buffed-up dictionary entry to something with some...(ahem)...meat on it. Well done...Sarnians? --Revanche (talk|contribs) 12:18, 27 May 2021 (EDT)
Conjecture: Quillar[edit]
I excise this from the article and post this here for its relevance to the topic of quillar;
It is possible that the grains produced by Rastaban Agricultural Products are a form of quillar, as they are among the Commonwealth's greater grain producers. With over five trillion acres of land across five different worlds, RA as of 3025 was a chief producer of grain, and surprisingly, the Draconis Combine was their chief consumer - albeit through third party channels.[1] As of 3067, despite damage sustained in the Clan Invasion Rastaban Agricultural still held somewhere in excess of three trillion acres of land, and traded openly with the Combine as well as Clan occupation zones. Rastaban's fields were even said to be bolstered post-invasion by a newer, hardier, longer-lasting type of fast-growing high-yield genetically-modified grain.[2]
It is, however, not currently clear if Rastaban's grains are a strain of quillar, and it is possible they grow more terrestrial forms of grain such as wheat. As such, it remains conjecture.
Additional conjecture from the previous version of this article:[edit]
- It is likely that most forms of grains and vegetables within the Inner Sphere - pastas, breads, etcetera - are derived from quillar.
- The name possibly refers to quillar's exaggerated scale compared to traditional stalky grain crops.
- Rastaban bears three stalks of grain on their logo - and some worlds, including the traditionally Kuritan system of Hachiman, feature stalks of grain upon their flags as well - possibly quillar, or perhaps just generic grain.[3]
- In summation, quillar seems to be a form of man-altered mega-maize from space.
