[[Rescue Ball]]s are standard [[equipment]] on all [[Military Ship|Imperial military vessels]] and on most [[Civilian Ship|private ships]] as well. When folded, the rescue ball is a cylinder 5 cm in diameter and 10 cm long. When deployed, it forms a sphere one meter in diameter which contains air sufficient to last one person for two hours. In the event of [[Wikipedia:Uncontrolled decompression|explosive decompression]] or other loss of air, a rescue ball allows an individual not in possession of a [[vacc suit]] to survive until aid arrives.

The user pulls a lanyard, climbs inside and seals the zip closure. The ball is made of a metal-coated plastic film for ease of location by [[radar]] and contains a bottle of compressed air, a [[first aid kit]], and a transparent window through which the occupant may observe conditions outside the ball. Rescue balls provide some protection from stellar radiation and corrosive and [[insidious atmosphere]]s for five to seven hours.
