class three carbon-freezing chamber
Affiliation:
Cloud City

 

Most visitors to Cloud City only see the gleaming corridors and pristine malls, and not the steel and steam-filled industrial sectors so vital to the city's economy. The city supports a number of carbon-freezing chambers for the containment of Tibanna gas.

Molten carbonite is flash-frozen into a solid state, encasing materials for transport in an incredibly strong metal alloy. Carbonite has the ability to suspend organic matter in a form of stasis. Under the correct settings, a living form can be carbon-frozen and placed into hibernation. The process is exacting and extremely dangerous -- a miscalculation can result in death.
