Cocala

Cocala dominates the colonial beverage market by mass-producing synthetic, super-saturated carbonated drinks that remain stable in zero-gravity environments. The conglomerate aggressively targets the energy drink sector with cheap, high-caffeine formulas recognized across the belt, competing directly with galactic rivals in a fierce race for market share.

Legend says the first prototype was created by a botanist on Aqua who discovered that bubbling acidic nectar from the deep ocean could neutralize radiation sickness. He exported the formula to a remote station, where it became the only liquid capable of keeping miners awake during the long shifts, sparking a franchise that now blankets neighboring star systems.
