Life support was a system that made the interior of a starship or other vehicle capable of supporting life. Ships like the TIE/LN starfighter did not have this system, so the pilot's suit had to be able to support life. However, the X-wing starfighters had life support. Most ship-based life support systems were only capable of a few hours or so before needing recharging. Gax was one of the many corporations that produced this system.
