The video traces the history of Terra Mills, a major food manufacturer in the Star Citizen universe, from its origins as a farming collective on Bremen to a corporate giant producing a wide range of food and beverages across human-inhabited systems. It highlights key events such as market crashes, mergers, product innovations, and acquisitions like Big Benny’s, showcasing Terra Mills’ growth into the largest employer in the Bremen system and a dominant force in the empire’s food industry.
The video explores the origins and evolution of Terramills, a major food manufacturer in the Star Citizen universe. Initially, Terramills began as a collective of farms on the agrarian planet Bremen, specifically the region of Reichif, during the 25th century. The outbreak of the second Dvaran war in 2603 increased demand for grain to feed the largest naval fighting force, prompting farmers to unite under Arcturus Kuna to form the Bremen Milling Processing and Farming Association, or Bremen Mills. This cooperative allowed them to share resources, cut costs, and collectively bargain for higher prices, leading to significant economic success for several decades.
However, Bremen Mills faced a severe setback in 2640 when the grain market crashed, causing financial difficulties. Despite this, the association survived due to its established infrastructure and eventually transformed into a corporate entity by the 28th century. The turning point came in 2716 with the Great Stalford disaster, where an explosion at their main grain facility caused massive destruction and loss of life. This catastrophe threatened the future of Bremen Mills, but a nearby agricultural company, Teragra Inc., which specialized in snacks, seized the opportunity to invest and merge with Bremen Mills, forming the new entity known as Terra Mills.
Following the merger, Terra Mills expanded its product line significantly, moving beyond grains to produce popular snacks, cereals, and eventually beverages. Their initial beverage, Braga Malt, was poorly received due to packaging issues that affected the drink’s taste during space transport. Scientists at Terra Mills innovated by developing nanobead carbonation technology, which preserved freshness and carbonation over long distances, leading to the successful launch of the Snazzle drink. This breakthrough helped cement Terra Mills’ reputation and popularity across the empire.
In recent years, Terra Mills has ventured into the fast meal sector by acquiring Big Benny’s, a rapidly growing franchise known for its spiced noodle broth called Kacho. Founded by Benny Co Lewis Jr., who was inspired by his father’s cooking on a fringe transfer station, Big Benny’s has expanded from a small food stall to over 100 locations. Terra Mills’ acquisition has brought this beloved dish to a wider audience, despite some resistance from loyal fans. Additionally, Terra Mills introduced Tiptop, a brand offering bite-sized tapioca dumplings, signaling their ongoing ambition to diversify and dominate the food market in the empire.
Today, Terra Mills stands as the largest employer in the Bremen system and one of the biggest food manufacturers in the Star Citizen universe, with products available in every human-inhabited system. What began as a small farming collective has grown into a corporate giant with a diverse portfolio spanning snacks, cereals, beverages, and ready meals.
