	Ryorin posted: jedibri posted: Sorry if I impyed in any way it was a dumb question. It wasn't. I just hadn't thought about it. But, I really don't think it had one for the sheer fact that a Tie Fighter is a short range ship so there would be no real need for it. I could be wrong. Hmm, I understand what you're saying, but I think Vader's ship can't be counted as a short-range fighter like normal TIE fighters. His actually has a hyperdrive, so he can travel much farther, else he would've been stranded out be Yavin after the Death Star was destroyed. He probably has the same sort of system in his TIE that X-wings and other small, hyperdrive-equipped fighters have for sewage. Unless he's way more machine than human.... Naw, I think Vader still has the majority of his guts. I think his suit in particular has something that stores his bodily waste, though I don't know how the Rebel and Imperial Pilots are able to go in their little ships... -----signature----- I sense a disturbance in the Forums.

	Why would he have life support when he has his personal suit for his support? -----signature----- "Just when I thought I was out , they push me back in." I never liked micheal Jackson and he was always a looney.

	black_saber posted: Why would he have life support when he has his personal suit for his support? Exactly! This is the Question - As far as I know, Darth Vader doesn't have a air container on the suit - that's why he has his famous heavy breathing - The air is being sucked in and out his artificial lung from the atmosphere. However TIE Fighters don't have an atmosphere, hence the reason the pilots take a black box with them, which contains their air supply. Now when Vader get's into his craft, he is seen as not having a box, he has his usual suit - so does this imply that Vader's TIE Advanced x-1 has a atmosphere inside? -----signature----- Official Coolian & JC Musketeer Lando Calrissian for Galactic President/Gummy for President/Bow Before Darthelinth Propaganda Minister and LORD of the SWC Empire; Senator for Mustafar

	Guh. Well, the OS is silent on whether or not it had life-support, but they also think it only has two engines, when in fact it had four. Wikia says it didn't have life support, but as Vader isn't hooked up to anything special, obviously anyway, I'm inclined to go with it did. Although in ANH, Vader' suit and helmet were originally intended to be a spacesuit that he didn't wear all the time. So maybe it does have reserve oxygen, or a rebreather or something. -----signature----- Only a Prime can defeat Vader and his Emperor.

Although in ANH, Vader' suit and helmet were originally intended to be a spacesuit that he didn't wear all the time. So maybe it does have reserve oxygen, or a rebreather or something. I was gonna say something similar to this, in that originally Vader was conceptualized as wearing a mask only for spacewalks. If this is the case, though, why do we see the smoke/fog over his mask move when he takes his first masked breath? And, if the suit/mask serves both as an mobile iron lung and a space suit where does he keep the extra air/oxygen? Especially considering the fact that due to his lung injuries and reduced capacity to breathe he would need even more oxygene than the average Imp pilot. What bothers me about the pro-onboard life support theory, though is while the aft fuselage and wing assemblies of his ship looks different and large enough to account for a hyperdrive or even a life support system, the hatch looks just like a run-of-the-mill Tie hatch with no transparisteel, just empty cut-outs.

	No vader already had life support in his suit. He didn't need to be plugged in like the others. -----signature----- "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." Søren Kierkegaard

	Well, I think Vader's life support came from his suit. Because the pilots don't wear matching Darth Vader suits, ya know? So I think Vader already had the life support, his suit. -----signature----- "What's the difference between an AT-AT and a stormtrooper on foot?"

	I'll say it had oxygen just so he could actually talk to the other pilots.

	quote]Naw, I think Vader still has the majority of his guts.

I also read that he does not eat, his suit injects him with the essential vitamins and nutrients that his body needs, so I don't think he even really has bodily waste. His body is completely maintained from the suit. It breathes for him. It works out his muscles. It feeds him. I also think, although I am not positive about this, that his suit does have some sort of air converter or air supply thing going on. Again, I am not positive about that last comment, I just thought I remembered reading that somewhere. Vader is a badass.

Com o surgimento do Partido Comunista Brasileiro passou a ser atacado por Astrojildo Pereira, comunista ex-anarquista que tinha como meta ampliar a influência do partido através do controle e alinhamento dos sindicatos e dos meios de imprensa operários até então libertários, com a proposta autoritária bolchevique. Foi responsável direto pela constituição de um dos maiores arquivos existentes sobre a memória do movimento operário que hoje leva o seu nome

	timmoishere posted: I would assume that since it has shields and a hyperdrive, it would also have a life support system. I've going to have to agree there. This is Vader's personal pimped-out ship: no reason he wouldn't be able to get any extra "luxeries" if he wanted them. -----signature----- Waru's Sword of Truth RebelMollom of The Kind

	Why did Darth Vader need life support though?
