Designed to quickly seal a Starship's interior compartments during a hull breach, the disk-shaped Emergency Vacuum Seal is a biomechanical device that has proven useful in such a crisis. When the seal has been placed at the site of the breach, a series of micromolecular grips keep it lodged firmly in place while a mild electrical current stimulates the colony of microorganisms, causing them to quickly multiply and seal the breach. A neutralizing current is applied once the seal's sensors determine the breach has been sealed. The result is a temporary but durable hull patch that allows a badly damaged Starship to make its way back to port for Repairs.
When a character makes a Mechanics check to Jury-Rig a Starship that has suffered a hull breach, the use of an Emergency Vacuum Seal allows the ship to move +1 additional step on the Condition Track.
