CHARACTERS

STARVATION AND DEHYDRATION
Characters might find themselves without food or water and with no means to obtain them. In normal climates, a character needs at least a gallon of fluids and about a pound of food per day to avoid starvation. In very hot climates, characters need two or three times as much water to avoid dehydration. A character can go without food for 3 days, in growing discomfort.

LIVING EXPENSES
Starship life support costs include, among other things, food, lodging, and incidentals for crew and passengers.
