With the [[Dynae#The Great Cataclysm|devastation]] of most of [[Dynae]], only a small part of the planet is safe from the destructive atmosphere and can support agriculture. The high plateau of [[Dynae#Hōkūpa'a|''Hōkūpa'a'']] in the planet’s tropical region has a unique microclimate that enables traditional terrestrial agriculture on Dynae’s surface. With limited hectares of arable land though, the locals make the most of it and provide orbiting populations with agricultural products that are impossible to cultivate in sterile hydroponic facilities or in microgravity. The majority of [[Teuthem]]’s caloric intake is not sourced from this small patch, but on ships and orbital stations. Void-cultivated proteins and carbs derived from algae, fungi, and insects serve as staples for Teuthemi diets. |

[[Spaceborne Fauna|Tahora megafauna]] provide a vast bounty for the Whai. Meat, blubber, offal, and blood harvested from the Tahora are enjoyed in various local dishes and delicacies. Some believe that regular consumption of Tahora products enhances one’s physical abilities and their connections to the Erinaa, the Tahora Whai’s neural link; evidence for these benefits is sparse and hotly debated. |

On top of the megafauna and station-based agriculture, a surprisingly large portion of food consumed by the Whai comes by way of plundered cargo. As ships fall prey to the notorious pirates of Dynae their goods are brought to the Rangi. Surplus takings and salvage are exchanged with outsiders for a variety of resources including foodstuffs of the sector. A rich selection of the sector’s diets are available to Dynaeans through this system. For the metropolitan population of the Rangi, snacks from one’s homeworld may not be available at will, but are nonetheless likely to pass through a nearby station soon. |
