Darth Vader's meditation chamber

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Vader speaks with General Veers in his meditation chamber.

Darth Vader's meditation chamber was a life support pod allowing the Sith Lord to survive for extended periods without the helmet and mask of his suit. The injuries Vader sustained during the duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar normally made this impossible.

Vader communicates with the bridge of Executor from his meditation chamber.

An arm extending from the ceiling removed, held, and replaced the helmet and mask. The chamber injected atmospheric gasses and oxygen into the sealed volume from underfloor channels to sustain Vader. Built-in communication systems allowed Vader to maintain contact with the outside.

Chambers were installed at multiple locations. On the Executor it was placed next to a holographic communications chamber used to communicate with Emperor Palpatine. This example was lost at the Battle of Endor.

Another unit was lost when the Terror was destroyed by Rookie One and Ru Murleen at Imdaar Alpha.

Vader kneels before the Emperor on the hologram projection pad outside his chamber.

The chamber at Bast Castle on Vjun remained intact well into the New Republic. The Dark Jedi Tavion and her apprentice, Rosh Penin, drained the Force energy from the chamber with the Scepter of Ragnos. The Force energy was restored following Tavion's death and destruction of the scepter.
