Emergency Locker
An Emergency Locker is typically a small cabinet holding a Vacc Suit and emergency supplies.
Description (Specifications)
Imperial safety regulations require that an emergency locker is provided for each crewmember and passenger carried aboard a starship or spacecraft. They are designed to give an individual the best chance of survival in a vacuum and in a variety of planetary environments.
Emergency Lockers are sited in locations where they are easy to access, typically close to airlocks, within passageways, and within generally accessible areas such as wardrooms and lounges.

History & Background
Most vessels carry a reduced version of this kit: the so-called "Light Locker". Generally it strips out bulkier items and anything that could be hazardous to the personnel aboard the vessel if they fell into the wrong hands, such as the rifle, the ammunition and the machete. The crew use their personal weapons and equipment in such cases, or they do without.
