'''Stasis''' refers to a complete cessation of movement within an area.
 
If used when referring to [[lifeform]]s, it is also known as '''suspended animation''' and denotes the limiting of bodily functions, inducing a prolonged sleep, in order to slow down the the aging process. Most often this is accomplished through [[cryostasis|cryogenic stasis]].
Individuals put into stasis are usually placed in a [[stasis unit]], and can result in being successfully suspended for hundreds of years while being less susceptible to environmental hazards. [[Pre-warp civilization]]s therefore sometimes use [[sleeper ship]]s equipped with stasis technology for long-range transport of personnel, usually as colony vessels.
Some years prior to [[2372]], [[Star Fleet]] used artificial environments Individuals put into stasis are usually placed in a unit specially fitted for people held in stasis on long deep space voyages. The technology held the mind inside a mental landscape to keep it active. In [[2353]], the [[Kohl]], and can result in the [[Delta Quadrant]]being successfully suspended for hundreds of years, utilized a similar while being less susceptible to environmental hazards. Pre-warp civilizations sometimes use "sleeper ships" equipped with stasis technology in their [[hibernation pod]]sfor long-range transport of personnel, usually as colony vessels.
Suspended animation was also employed as a security measure. Before the [[Cardassian]]s abandoned their [[space station]] [[Empok Nor]] in [[2372]], they left behind in stasis three soldiers of the Third Battalion, [[First Order]]. Their stasis tubes, having been programmed to revive them should power be restored to the station, the soldiers – under the influence of [[psychotropic drug]]s designed to heighten their natural xenophobia – attempted to kill a [[Star Fleet]] salvage team sent from [[Deep Space 9]] in [[2373]].
In Suspended animation was also known to be employed as a security measure.

Just before the signing of the treaty, he was injured in a plasma explosion on board a Bajoran Transport vessel. Dr. [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Julian_Bashir Julian Bashir[2373]] was able to bring him back from the brink of death. However, Bareil refused life-saving treatment in order to complete the negotiations since Kai Winn was not experienced enough to handle the Cardassians by herself. Dr. Bashir told him that he should be placed in stasis for an undetermined period of time so his injuries could heal.
The [[Kobliad]] criminal [[scientist]] [[Rao Vantika]] was held in stasis of [[Deep Space 9]]'s [[morgue]] after he died in [[2369]] aboard the [[Kobliad transport ship]] ''[[Reyab]]''.

During the [[Dominion War]], it was learned that the [[Dominion]] shipped [[Jem'Hadar]] infants in stasis chambers. This was discovered [[2371]] when [[Quark]] inadvertently purchased a Jem'Hadar infant in a stasis chamber that was included in salvage.
Another known application of stasis is to prevent a [[Changeling]] from altering its form, by use of a [[quantum stasis field]].
In [[2375]], [[Android]] [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Data]] was held in stasis in [[engineering]] aboard the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-E|-E}} following a malfunction on the [[Ba'ku]] [[Ba'ku (planet)|homeworld]].
