Spacer's chest

"Most people like me have a real spacer's chest for our belongings. Something that'll take a beating and bounce back."

- Platt Okeefe

Spacer's chests were durable containers that starpilots kept their belongings in. They were considered useful for pilots that swapped ship frequently. They came in many shapes and sizes; some even looked like a typical cargo container. It was common for pilots to attach holo-stickers from their travels onto their chests, and for messages to be scratched into the exterior.

Most chests were equipped with padded compartments to store fragile possessions, and other precautionary measures included vacuumn and pressure seals. While this provided some protection from harsh environments, the chests were not capable of withstanding re-entry burn if ejected in orbit. The chests normally came with a standard lock but these were often replaced with electronic locking devices.

A popular model was the Wanderer Space Chest produced by the SoroSuub Corporation. These cost around 200 credits.
