Mealbread was a variety of bread provided within the dining facilities of the First Order's Starkiller Base. During their training at Starkiller Base, the four human stormtroopers belonging to the FN Corps consumed mealbread with meat slivers and numian cream; the meal's purpose was function over taste. FN-2187, a Stormtrooper, used the bread to soak up and consume the remaining cream on his plate.
The initial appearance of mealbread occurred in Republic Commando: Triple Zero, a Star Wars Legends novel authored by Karen Traviss and published in 2006. Its status as canon was affirmed through its inclusion in the "Finn" segment of the anthology Before the Awakening, penned by Greg Rucka and released in 2015.
