Carbonite
From TFC Galactopedia
Carbonite is a strong metal alloy used to preserve tibanna gas and other valuable materials; carbonite was a densly-interlaced matrix of carbon and tibanna. Experimentation - mainly by disgruntled crimelords - revealed that carbonite could also preserve a living body, maintaining it in a state of hibernation until the carbonite could be removed. The encased being often experienced hibernation sickness when extracted, although a being left for too long usually died from malnutrition. Carbonite is the chief export of the Empress Teta System.
This item, object, or technology originated on the Star Wars side of the Rift.
