[[File:FUD_Cryo.png|right|thumb|200px|A | A '''cryo-chamber''' is a [[plastasteel]]<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 150'' (''"John brushed off the frost buildup that clouded the top half of the cryotube, and revealed the green-armored figure sprawled behind the plastasteel shell."'')</ref> chamber that allows all of a starship's non-essential personnel to be [[Cryonics|cryonically frozen]] for long periods of time. An example of its use would be during prolonged [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] jumps. They are basically large metal pods with form-fitting gel beds where the personnel are frozen until they are needed. An example of this is [[John-117]], who was stored in a cryo-chamber aboard the ship {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and later unhatched from the cryosleep chamber by Tech Chief [[Thom Shephard]] along with Tech Officer [[Samuel N. Marcus|Sam Marcus]]. | ||

Known models of the cryo-chamber include the [[Mark VII Personal Suspension Unit]], manufactured by [[Jakubaitis Standard Systems]]. It was widely disliked by UNSC personnel because of its inferior moisture balancing; this resulted in dry, itchy skin for a day or more after awakening, known as "cryo-itch". It was later replaced by the [[Mark VIII Cryogenic Suspension Chamber]], although many older craft still use the Mark VII.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 216''</ref> | Known models of the cryo-chamber include the [[Mark VII Personal Suspension Unit]], manufactured by [[Jakubaitis Standard Systems]].
