![]() The earliest known use of carbon freezing living victims to be displayed as trophies date back thousands of years to the ancient Krath and their conquest of the carbonite mines of the Empress Teta system. At various times the likes of Imperials, bounty hunters and some underworld gangsters had been known to use this cruel but effective method. ![]() However, with some modification industrial grade freezing chambers could be modified into a crude and indeed painful means of bio-stasis sometimes described as "a big wide-awake nothing". Only industrial applications remained in common usage, typically for freezing coaxium, tibanna and other volatile cargoes for transport. Over time the use of carbon freezing dropped off as the advent of hyperdrives eliminated the need for such extended voyages, and bio-enthropic field generators became standard for medical stasis applications. Ushering a new age of exploration that expanded the pre- Republic borders, carbonite freezing was employed aboard ancient sleeper ships to keep crews alive in extended periods of hibernation as they traversed interstellar space. The discovery of the peculiar stasis qualities of carbonite by the scientists from the planet Koros Major saw the end of generation ships and development of sleeper ships.
