	The power systems for emergency life support are independent of other ship’s power systems. In game terms, emergency life support generates all of the Power it needs to operate. In situations of extreme crisis, the crew can drain the emergency life support power and use it for other systems (such as shields or phasers). This requires a Routine [[Skills#Skill_Test\|Skill Test]]. If the Test succeeds, it results in a ''one-time'' boost of (Size x 6) in points of Power (not that much Power per round) to a designated system, but completely incapacitates emergency life support power (the temporary amounts of consumables remain, and the crew can use them, but they’ll have to eat and breathe in the cold darkness). Failure means the Power cannot be drained from emergency life support; Dramatic Failure that the Power accidentally drains out without transferring to any other system (it’s completely lost).

	A ship of Size 3 or larger has a number of emergency shelters equal to its Size x 6 (sometimes a few more or less; smaller ships may have none). Each shelter has enough air, food, water, and power to preserve the lives of up to 65 persons for 24 hours with no external support, or 36 hours with minimal assistance. Each shelter also has two Emergency Pressure Garments (EPGs), so that crewmembers can walk between shelter areas safely.
