The Tank has also suffered either heavy brain damage or a rabies-like cerebral infection, resulting in the Tank being in a constant state of unbridled rage, even more so than most other Infected his immediate response is to attack any human Survivor on sight. The United States Marine Corps symbol on the left side of the Sacrifice Tank's chest, instead of the regular gaping chest wound This also allows the Tank to take massive punishment from all sorts of weapons, and also protects his vital organs, such as his head as shooting there deals the same amount of damage as if he was shot elsewhere. The increase bulk gives the Tank superhuman strength a single punch can destroy safe room doors, launch Survivors and objects a considerable distance and he can even rip off chunks of ground to serve as a ranged projectile. The excessive muscle mass serves as both the Tank's weapon and armor. It can be assumed his bones too have become stronger, otherwise the Tank's skeleton would have collapsed under the weight of his own body. The Tank's jaw at first glance seems to be missing, but upon closer inspection it is shown to be enveloped within his thick neck muscles. The Tank's body is covered with numerous scars and lesions from previous fights, with an especially large open sore on his left pectoral. Though the Tank's legs are capable of supporting his static weight (such as when the Tank mounts a rock throwing attack), the Tank's disproportionate anatomy forces him to knuckle-walk, resulting in the Tank's wrists becoming swollen.

Evidently, the most obvious trait is his extreme hypertrophy, or abnormally increased muscle mass.

After being attacked by a wampa and spending the night on the frozen wastelands of Hoth, Luke Skywalker would have almost surely died from his injuries if not for Echo Base's bacta tank. Īlthough bacta was near impossible to acquire during the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Rebel Alliance obtained a functional bacta tank and a small supply of the liquid for use at Echo Base.


Certain species, such as Rodians, experienced complications with the bacta due to their metabolism, sometimes requiring extended submersion. Patients while in the bacta tank wore either white briefs for males or a white sleeveless top and briefs for females. Patients wore breath masks to breathe while submerged. Movement of bacta tanks could prove difficult because the tanks weighed roughly 500 kilograms.Ī patient was required to be fully submerged within the bacta for the healing agent to do its job. A bacta tank and a supply of bacta were expensive, the tank alone typically costing 100,000 credits from 32 BBY to 8 ABY, and so such medical equipment was usually found only in hospitals, on board capital ships, and within major military bases.
