== Great recovery ==

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? --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 12:18, 27 May 2021 (EDT)

== Conjecture: Quillar ==

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|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.<ref>''[[House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)]]'', p146, "Other Major Commonwealth Industries - Rastaban Agricultural"</ref> 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.<ref>''[[Handbook: House Steiner]]'' p138, "Major Industries - Rastaban Agricultural"</ref>

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:==
* 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 [[House Kurita|Kuritan]] system of [[Hachiman (system)|Hachiman]], feature stalks of grain upon their flags as well - possibly quillar, or perhaps just generic grain.<ref>''[[House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)]]'', p. 184</ref>
* In summation, quillar seems to be a form of man-altered mega-maize from space.
