One of the cheapest sources of protein outside of expired wholesale rations, Sl'im J'iim snacks represent the very worst of the Peacekeepers of the Vast/Solaran Union's industrial food production practices hailing back to 21st Century Peacekeepers of the Vast/Earth. Packed full of species-neutral amino acids which generally attempt to replicate meat and as many artificial preservatives as permitted by law, Sl'im J'iims are eaten in massive quantity by most of the species in the Peacekeepers of the Vast/Interstellar League, especially by couriers, freighter crews, Peacekeeper agents in the midst of a stakeout, and other professions with a high degree of spacefaring. A multi-species food of this degree of spread should be celebrated as a major win, but in fact Sl'im J'iims are seen as a crude attempt at food and are as culturally appropriate as wearing soiled clothing in the majority of League systems (with a greater degree of acceptance among Solaran Union systems.) Their flavor is best described as vague discomfort with a little spice. Nevertheless, they remain the most purchased food in the Interstellar League seventeen years running.
There are three flavors currently on the market: Original, "Orken Spicy", and "Terran Terror". A fourth, known as "Trilinthian Sweet Barbecue" was only marginally successful.
