The other type is a protective seal and usually has controls.

Valueable or delicate items are placed in such containers (stasis boxes).[1]

Properties[]

The stasis fields have particles whose physical properties prevent one field from existing inside another. Precedence is taken by the larger field.[1]

Stasis fields have a perfectly reflective, shiny surface nearly invulnerable to outside damage.[2]

History[]

Stasis fields are also known as Slaver Stasis Fields as they were developed by the Tnuctipun during the Thrint Empire. Significant technological advances have been found in such ancient containers.[1]
