What This Gear Does[]
Made by numerous scientific-technology companies throughout the galaxy, such as Loronar Corporation and SoroSuub, specimen containers are ubiquitous among explorers who need to transport delicate or dangerous flora and fauna. They come in all shapes and sizes, from the simple petri dish to massive, environmentally sealed and controlled containers designed to hold the largest and most lethal creatures. No matter their size, shape, or manufacture, specimen containers all possess a set of common features and systems. They are constructed from sturdy impact-resistant polymers and have secure environmentally sealed lids. They are generally transparent, the interiors of specimen containers are modular and can be configured to fit a number of small specimens or one large one. They are also usually equipped with life-support and stasis systems that allow specimens to be safely transported.
Specimen containers come in four general sizes, as follows: tiny, small, medium, and large. Tiny specimen containers have an encumbrance capacity of 1 and are typically roughly the size of a human's hand. Small specimen containers have an encumbrance capacity of 3-5 and range up to the size of an R2 series astromech droid. Medium specimen containers have an encumbrance capacity of 5-10 and typically require two or more sentients to lift and carry them. Large specimen containers have an encumbrance capacity of 10-15 and are designed to carry the largest and heaviest specimens. These last containers are so large that they have their own repulsorlift generators to assist in their handling. They have a maximum altitude of roughly one meter and move as quickly as they can be pushed.
