The emptiness of space
A vacuum refers to a region of space devoid of any atmosphere. The majority of living things could not endure the conditions of space's vacuum, although there were exceptions to this rule, including creatures like the neebray, the purrgil, and the enormous Summa-Verminoth. The Givin species, along with the Kel Dor, possessed the capability to survive briefly within a vacuum. Certain types of gear could enable organisms to live in a vacuum, for instance, vacuum-sealed armors like stormtrooper armor, Phase I clone trooper armor, and Vader's armor. Furthermore, breathing devices such as the A99 aquata breather offered protection. One method of capital punishment involved ejecting someone into the void of space, a tactic employed by Admiral Jhared Montferrat to kill a group of prisoners he suspected were Rebel informants. The archaeologist Doctor Aphra specifically requested that being thrown into a vacuum not be used as her execution method if the Sith Lord Darth Vader chose to end her life. The power of the Force could grant an individual the ability to persist for some time in a vacuum, although they would likely require extensive medical care afterward.
