Carbon-freezing

Canon Legends version → Linked from 133 articles

Carbon-freezing was an industrial process by which high-strength liquid carbonite was flash-frozen via combination with high-pressure gas: that gas would then be encased within the carbonite as it turned from a liquid to a solid state. The process was designed to encase, preserve, and entrap otherwise unstable materials for transport, such as gases, in a strong metal alloy. Highly pressurized gases such as tibanna were designed to be safely encased by the solidified carbonite for transport. While it was not the original intention of carbon-freezing, encased materials could even include sentient beings, should the individual in question survive the freezing process.
