Legends Canon version → Linked from 68 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Ejector seats were a safety device built into most starships, particularly starfighters and combat airspeeders. An alternative to escape pods, ejector seats could not protect against the vacuum of space or the elements, simply propelling a pilot clear of a damaged vehicle.
