An ejector seat served as a mechanism engineered to propel the person sitting in it away from a starship rapidly, especially when there was an urgent situation while flying.
Throughout the Siege of Mandalore, which was a conflict between the forces of the Galactic Republic and the Shadow Collective under the command of Maul, the Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry gunships utilized by the 501st Legion had ejector seats installed. Furthermore, Z-95 Headhunters also featured ejector seats. During the time of the Rebellion on Akiva, Norra Wexley, who was a pilot flying starfighter craft for the New Republic, found out that the TIE fighters flown by the Galactic Empire were, in fact, equipped with ejector seats. She managed to use one to escape to safety after the TIE fighter she had taken was struck by turbolaser fire. The TIE/sf space superiority fighters that the First Order used were also fitted with these types of seats. These seats had an explosive launch system and also contained emergency food supplies located underneath.
