Carbon-freezing chamber

"This facility is crude, but it should be adequate to freeze Skywalker for his journey to the Emperor."

- Darth Vader



Carbon-freezing chambers were tibanna gas freezing technology used in Cloud City on Bespin to freeze carbon. "Vaccuums" located on Bespin took in tibanna gas from the depths of the planet and released it into the chambers to be frozen for more convenient transportation. While the gas is suspended inside the chamber, liquid carbonite was applied, which cooled around the gas, freezing it. Freezing chambers were also sometimes used to seal living objects&mdash;though one miscalculation could lead to death. The freezing of living objects was once used by the evil Krath as a form of torture.

One of the most popular and prominent models was the class three carbon-freezing chamber produced by Figg and Associates.
