Alliceia

Alliceia was a type of bacteria which could infect individuals. People who became infected with alliceia would initially develop head colds, and would soon become feverish and then become dangerously dehydrated.

History
Approximately 100 years before the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War, a cure was discovered for the disease. Soon after the cure was distributed, medical officials declared that alliceia was extinct.

During the Battle of Commenor, a rogue Galactic Alliance commander bombarded a number of Commenorian cities with asteroids. The Commenorians retaliated by having their agents expose the allecia bacteria to people traveling to Coruscant. Once these infected people reached Coruscant, the disease spread - infecting vast numbers of military and civilian personnel.

Commenorian spies captured by the Galactic Alliance Guard admitted that they had brought the alleicia bacteria to Coruscant. The Galactic Alliance had no ready supplies of vaccine on hand for the allecicia bacteria as the disease had previously been believed to have been extinct. The Alliance quickly cultured and distributed the vaccine and cure, but there was still not enough to reach everyone infected by the disease.
