SECTION 1
ABSTRACT
Temporal stasis slows down time to enact stasis on objects.
SECTION 2
SUMMARY
Temporal stasis (also known as timefreeze) is a method of preserving an object from both internal and external decay and entropy through slowing down said object's progression of time relative to the rest of the universe. The current maximum reduction in the flow of time for an object under temporal stasis is by a factor of [7.884 * 109]; in relative terms, every 250 years inside temporal stasis is one second outside.
Unlike many other kinds of stasis, temporal stasis requires a constant power supply. Power failure will invariably result in a complete shutdown of temporal stasis.

HISTORY
The first temporal stasis containment unit (TSCU) was developed on date [20,175-9-30 GE] by the Eternalhold corporation as an improved solution for transporting thermally-sensitive materials and equipment. Corporate competition around the TSCU was intense, although the Timefreeze model (In-Forever corporation) eventually held supremacy for long enough for the moniker 'timefreeze' to be coined as a representative of all temporal stasis.
Temporal stasis has been consistently useful for temperature-sensitive logistics. It has also recently proven useful for evacuation of large populations due to nearly eliminating the need for resources for sustaining sapients until there is a good time to release them.
