The Nesterouka Corporation is a relatively new contester on the international food market. It currently operates exclusively in the Star Trading Conglomerate, the United Norcian Republic, and some border regions of other nations in the Eastward Rim, selling mostly from mobile trade carriers with pressurized hangar decks and drift-in purchase opportunities. Loved by some for the unusual experience and wide variety of flavors, the products sold by the company have spurred fierce public debates ever since they have been invented, making the company one of the more controversial entities. Rumors of black market ties and addictive substances found in some purchases also don't help improve the company's image.

Structure
The company works on a franchise approach, leaving local shop owners a great deal of freedom to include local delicacies in their menus. This has also the positive side effect that mobile merchants can incorporate a store on their ships or sell products while they are stationed on spaceports or during other similar occasions.
Products
While Nesterouka sells a wide variety of drinkable products, is meat smoothies are certainly their most prominent line of products. They are also usually available at any location that sells the companies products, where local priorities and specialties are adopted otherwise, creating unique menus depending on the local culture and eating habits. Spread out across human space, roughly 2468 different flavors and smoothie dishes have been incorporated in one form or another to be purchased.
Criticisms
Some nations' elites like in the Covenant of Edom, Isharan Eisharad, and Empire of Gaennaan have strong reservations against most smoothies sold by the corporation, especially on the example of several meatball-based products.
Based around the introduction of the corporations' products in the Covenant of Edom, some unexpected news broke as a holo taping of the following incident went viral across the Ancible network: Rahai, Head of House Shikith makes an impassioned speech concerning a new thread to the Edomite people before representatives of the Landskaa in the throne chamber. A lull of silence falls. Before Rahai does an extremely rare thing and breaks his composure to exasperatedly say "Es un kasu sulata."
Reports state that the head of House Shikith was dismissed from the chamber posthaste.
This incident, however, did not have the intended effect as the coverage of his speech spread across human space and brought the company more fame than they could have imagined getting in decades.
Other criticisms, usually concerning traces of methamphetamines and other often illegal components found in some smoothies have led to several usually not nearly as well covered controversies over the years.
