A C-ration is a kind of comestible. C-rations are not normally generated, but soldiers (of all ranks) have a 1/2 chance of starting with one, so they are commonly found while assaulting the castle or Fort Ludios.[1] K-rations and C-rations are effectively identical, except that K-rations have a higher nutrition value.

C-rations can be eaten in one move, making them valuable for nutritional purposes when you are in desperate situations. They are shunned for the Astral Plane, however, in favour of K-Rations (which provide more nutrition).
