WET-02 vapor tank

A WET-02 tank

WET-02 vapor tanks were devices used by Mon Calamari to keep their skin moist in open air environments. The tanks were installed in all Mon Calamari starships. Some of the tanks could be found on the bridge of Home One.

Behind the scenes

WET-02 tanks on Home One

These vapor tanks appeared on the bridge of Home One in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi and in promotional photos for the film, behind the later-named Mon Calamari character Verrack. They were not identified until 2000, within the "Jedi Force File" booklet packaged with the Mon Calamari Officer action figure from Hasbro's Star Wars: Power of the Jedi toy line.
