Ender Wiggin in stasis in the Ender's Game film.
Stasis was a medically induced coma state often used by interstellar travelers.[1]
Description[]
During starflight, if one did not want to endure the voyage awake, they could decide to go into stasis for the duration of the trip, to be reawakened as they arrived at the destination planet.[1]
Stasis would leave individuals with a sort of scum all over one's body. The skin would seem to crackle a little when one moved.[1]
History[]
Ender in Exile[]
Stasis was created sometime before 1 AX, when it was first mentioned being used for the colonists aboard IFcoltrans1, the first Human colony ship. However, due to how it was mentioned and described, it seemed to be in common use well before then.[1]
As Minister of Colonization, Hyrum Graff went into stasis for 10 months every year, to stay alive until the first colony ships arrived at their destinations.[1]
Andrew and Valentine Wiggin used stasis frequently during their collective 3000-years of interstellar voyages.[2]
