MEDICAL SKILLS
1 “Greetings I am Snr-kee4823jdi399200 Since you
are an inefficient gob of carbon, I can almost see your
pitiful chemical neurons firing trying to process my
name so you may call me Snr-kee.
Through my years as a medical droid I have seen
every disgusting permeation that can happen to a
biological life form so rest assured I will be able to
cure whatever is currently and obviously wrong with
your face.
What’s that? You are not looking to be treated but
want to know what it takes to be a doctor. Well if you
were a superior life form like myself you could just
download the information directly into your cerebral
cortex though I do seem to remember a medical
journal by a Dr. Evazan that proposed it might be
possible, I’ll have to try this in my exper... oh are
you still here? Here take this, it is a primer on
the skills needed to be doctor.
Now run along I have some work to do.”

DEXTERITY SKILLS
Dodge
Capsule: Dodge might seem like an unrelated skill for the average doctor,
nurse, or medic, however, often times medical professionals must go to locations
where injuries are being inflicted. Battlefields, remote installations, and planetary
survey locations often require caregivers to utilize their skills in “less-than-ideal” cir­
cumstances — often under fire.

You organics are so squishy its best to get out of

the way of what is going to squish you.

KNOWLEDGE SKILLS
Alien Species
Capsule: An essential skill for the medical professional who might see various alien
species in their practice. A doctor might specialize in alien species: biology while a sur­
geon might specialize in alien species: anatomy.

 MEDICAL SKILLS

Special: Though (A) medicine is a Technical skill,

when the skill is first taken, it is at 1D (not the charac­
ter's Technical skill). At a skill of 1D, the character
should be considered a medic or med student. At 2D, it
may be assumed that the character has the skill level of
a registered Nurse or an intern. At 3D, a doctor. At 4D,
a specialist or experienced doctor. At 5D and above, the
character will likely have a good reputation as an expert
doctor in the field.

Capsule: (A) medicine represents the whole of medi­

cal sciences, from advanced medical procedures, to
surgery, to experimentation and development. When a
character uses the (A) medicine skill to perform first aid
and basic field/emergency procedures (including light
surgery), it is added to the character's first aid skill

First Aid
Time of Use: 1 round
Difficulty: Varies greatly
Specializations: Species (Human, Wookie, etc.) or
injury type (Broken Bones, Burns, Cuts, etc.)
First aid reflects a character's ability to perform
emergency life saving procedures in the field. First aid
training gives a character the knowledge to tend to
injuries and minor illnesses (such as nausea and
headaches). The character will be familiar with using
basic medical supplies, such as bandages and antiseptic,
but will not be able to perform surgery or other com­
plex procedures. First aid can be used to temporarily
remove wound penalties for a few rounds, or wake a
stunned character even without a medpac.

Optional Rules for Medpacs

Medpacs seem powerful compared to bacta tanks. Since
they can heal rather quickly when compared to the hours or
days that a bacta tank requires. If you find that Medpacs are
overpowering your games use one or all of these optional
rules.

Medpacks do not Heal Wounds: They mask the wounds.

They are mostly a synthaskin spray and pain killer injection.

DISEASES &
2 SYMPTOMS
“Salutations, My name is Regald Archdoby, Chief
Xenopathologist of the Imperial Institution for Disease
Control. I’ve been tasked with briefing you on various dis­
eases to be found in our galaxy. Here at the IIDC we have
a current database of over 100 million different diseases
and their symptoms. No doctor could possibly know them
all. Thankfully, a lot of diseases are regional or even plan­
et bound, and are unlikely to be encountered outside their
region.
“The following list is hardly
exhaustive, but a collection of the
most common found in the galaxy, or
the most interesting at least. Famil­
iarize yourself with this information
and you will be well on your way to
becoming a master diagnostician.”

DISEASES
Diseases are viruses or other organisms that infect the
body of a living creature. Infections can occur in a num­
ber of ways, such as coming into contact with another
infected creature, touching diseased matter, consuming
food or drink tainted with disease, or being the victim of
a biological weapon attack. All living creatures have an
immune system that is able to fight off infection which
could lead to recovery. However, in severe cases medical
treatment was required.

“If left untreated, a disease could

wreak havoc on a being. Depending
on the type and severity, diseases
could bring about unconsciousness,
the loss of a limb or death.”

-Inside a surgical ward

HOSPITAL CLASSES
There are five different classes of hospitals, describing the
magnitude of the facilities, the availability of services, the
quality of staff and ready supply of healing agents. However,
these classes are not absolute, but more generalizations.
Costs, fees and availability of medical treatment often
depend on the local star system's economy.

Galactic Class: These hospitals are the most advanced and

usually biggest in the galaxy. These hospitals offer the best,
most up to date care that credits can buy. Due to the high
volume of patients practically any species has been worked
on by the staff or have at least seen cases for. Any disease
that might be contracted is often cataloged in the massive
databases that the hospital keeps giving the doctors an
advantage to correctly diagnose the problem. Those who
have been injured by blaster or other forms of combat must
be aware that such cases are reported to the authorities and
staff will not take a bribe to cover up said injury.

Stellar Class: These hospitals offered advanced medical

care though usually not cutting edge unless they specialized
in one particular area. Quality of staff was very good and
affordable when compared to Galactic class hospitals. Often
patients would pick these hospitals over the higher class for
operations that were critical but not life threatening. Most
species will be known to the doctors though those from less
common ones will have never been worked on. Practically all
diseases that are common in the region (i.e. Outer Rim, Core,
Colonies) the hospital is in will be known. Those who have
been injured by blaster or other forms of combat must be
aware that such cases are reported to the authorities and
most staff will not take a bribe to cover up said injury

blood doctor to know how to effectively treat more than a few of them. Medical
droids have no such shortcomings, some even have a passable bedside manner.
There were even models specialized in non-sentient creatures.

“I mean really, we can work longer, more effi­

ciently, and don’t ever have to worry about getting
sick from our patients. Yet you will never see a
Holoseries on how wonderful we are or get a surgical
technique named after us or a wing in the hospital
dedicated to a medical droid. It burns my photore­
ceptors.”

check made by the MED-47 causes the character 2D of damage

Capsule: The MED-47 was a failed attempt to replicate the success of
the 2-1B Medical Droid without splitting profits with Genetech.
The software programming of the droid was a dismal failure,
resulting in a droid with an interest in causing pain. As a result,
the MED- 47 was a poor seller during the decades prior to the
Clone Wars.
The Trade Federation ended up purchasing the entire lot of
droids as well as the design schematic, unconcerned about their
bedside manner. The leadership of the Trade Federation reasoned
that with a droid army to do their fighting for them, medical
droids were merely a back-up measure, and unlikely to ever see
much use. Despite their less than gentle nature, they performed
their jobs admirably.
During the Invasion of Naboo and the Clone Wars a decade lat­
er, the MED-47 saw extensive use among Neimoidian gunnery bat­
talions and the command crews of droid control ships. Though in
theory they were replaced with the AKD-24-MED droid shortly

CLONING
“With the same genetic structure plus a flash-learning pattern taken directly from the
template, a clone should theoretically be completely identical to the original person. But
despite that, they're never exactly the same. Maybe some of the mental subtleties get
blurred over in

In order to create a clone, samples of genetic code had to be drawn from a subject's
cells, duplicated and implanted into donor cells. These donor cells would then grow,
divide and, eventually gestate in artificial wombs,
filled with nutrients and organic catalysts. Altering
the nutrients and catalyst solutions that the cells
received could influence the physical attributes and
maturation rates of the resulting clone. The most
aggressive mixtures of nutrients and catalyst solutions
produced fully formed adult clones in several weeks,
but forced growth acceleration often led to mental
instability in the clone. Some cloners, however, dis­
covered methods to avoid this phenomenon. The
genetic material donor was generally referred to as a
prime clone. Using the subject's template, it was pos­
sible through many different techniques to create
exact physical replicas. This process was not only
capable of producing a single copy, but also multiple
versions of the original subject. Furthermore, genetic
engineering could further modify the clone to aug­
ment or subdue specific traits.
The original clone troopers that were produced
over the course of a decade on Kamino were educat­
ed at a more gradual pace in comparison to their
Spaarti-engineered counterparts. Clones who fully
matured in just a year's time received an extremely
rushed form of education through flash training. The
fastest developed clones —grown in the span of a few
weeks —were trained through memory imprints, taken
from the original donor and downloaded into the
copied subjects. This essentially enabled a clone to
learn all of its template's skills, but also carried with
them emotional imprints, and thus the risk of mental
instability as well.

Common Side Effects: Heart palpitations; Miscued messages from the
stabilizer unit cause the character’s heart (or its equivalent in alien
species) to palpitate. The character suffers 3D damage. This dam­
age cannot be restored until the cybernetic component is removed.
Capsule: A stabilizer releases chemical coagulants into a dying char­
