Death Seed Plague

The Death Seed Plague is a desease which leads ultimately to death. When it occured on spaceships the whole cure was condemned to death since it moves on so quickly, that there was no way to escape it on a ship once someone got infected.

Until the Princess Leia was taken hostage by Seti Ashgad no one knew how the Death Seed Plague errupted in the first place. In fact, Leia may be the first knowen person who got cured form the desease. On her way to a diplomatic mission the whole crew of her ship died because of the Death Seed Plague. The infected Leia was taken hostage by Seti Ashgad who made Leia's ship jump into hyperspace blindly.

It turned out that the on Nam Chorios endemic species of Droch-Beetles passes on the plague. These beetles were under the command of Dzym, himself a grown Droch-Beetle. On his order the beetles infected people. Dzym somehow could take the desease away from pepole, which is how he heale Leia.
