Breath mask

A breath mask, also known as an oxygen mask, breathing mask, respirator, or gas mask, was a device that provided breathable air to whoever was wearing it. In some cases, it also acted as a life support system, especially if the wearers had extensive cybernetics.

A typical oxygen mask was a small, portable device that allowed an oxygen-breather to survive in low-oxygen atmospheres. Although not suitable for use in realspace, these hands-free masks were essential equipment for deep-space travel that might require activity outside of a starship.
