Life support systems are the most crucial aboard any space vehicle. They typically include artificial gravity, and atmospheric controls. Failure of these systems prompts a computer safeguard to order the evacuation of the vessel in question. (VOY: "The Haunting of Deck Twelve") Aboard some vessels, the imminent failure of the life support system constitutes a blue alert situation. (TNG: "Brothers")

Life-support systems and pressure domes can be used to make a class K planet more hospitable for Humans. (TOS: "I, Mudd") A key component in 23rd century life support systems was the mineral topaline. (TOS: "Friday's Child")

Before its atmospheric dome was added, Internment Camp 371 relied on life support systems in its walls to provide atmosphere. Enabran Tain used the old systems to send a message to Elim Garak in 2373. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow", "By Inferno's Light", "Inquisition")

After leaving Empok Nor, the Cardassians deactivated its life support systems. (DS9: "Empok Nor")

Hirogen body armor has internal life support and it can protect a Hirogen hunter while seeking prey in most hostile environments, including the surface of a collapsed star. (VOY: "Prey")
