A disintegration chamber, alternatively referred to as a disintegration booth, functioned as a tool for managing population size or enforcing mandatory self-terminations, as mandated by governmental edict. The Galactic Empire also made use of these devices for carrying out capital punishment. The operational mode of these booths involved the complete atomization of individuals, resulting in no remaining traces. Numerous societies considered the application of this technology to be outdated and morally objectionable.
