Organic gill

The organic gill is a breath mask that allows most humanoid species to breathe underwater for an indefinite period of time. The gill is manufactured by the Mon Calamari using an engineered symbiont that converts the oxygen disolved in water into gaseous form. The symbiont lives for several weeks, during the time it can function on a constant basis. Also since the symbiont takes oxygen from the water, there is no need for a cumbersome tank making the gill popular with tourists and explorers alike. The gill accepts physical implants such as comlinks and goggels readily, freeing up the hands of the user.

Chief of State Leia Organa utilized an organic gill when she visited Mon Calamari to find Admiral Ackbar after the disaster on Vortex. She and her guide, Cilghal used the gills to travel for hours under the water to the Knowledge Bank, which gave the location of the Admiral's whereabouts.
