Life support system

Life support systems, also known as life support, was technology which assisted lifeforms in surviving.

Spacecraft had life support systems which allowed its occupants to survive in space. (TV: The Ambassadors of Death, Colony in Space, Four to Doomsday, Terror of the Vervoids, The Tsuranga Conundrum) Miniscopes had life support systems, (TV: Carnival of Monsters) as did TARDISes. (PROSE: The Edge of Destruction, Timewyrm: Genesys, Flatline) The life support system was not, however, counted as a system that was essential to the ship's operation. (COMIC: The Doctor and the Nurse) When the Boneless drained dimensional energy from the Doctor's TARDIS, the life support began to fail. (TV: Flatline)

Some individuals had life support systems to compensate for what would otherwise be fatal injuries. On Skaro, Davros was given a life support system after being crippled. Later, the Kaleds built a combination life support system and travel machine for the creatures they knew would evolve into. (TV: Genesis of the Daleks) On Karfel, Renis' wife was on a life support system in a hospital. (TV: Timelash) On Sto, Max Capricorn's cybernetic body functioned as a life support system. (TV: Voyage of the Damned) Hydroflax's robot body was a life support system. (TV: The Husbands of River Song) Ianto Jones took parts from a cyber-conversion unit and modified them into a life support for Lisa Hallett. (TV: Cyberwoman)

Martian cruisers such as the Saavid were equipped with a life-support system. (PROSE: The Jeopardy of Solar Proximity)
