Bacta/Legends

Bacta was a medical miracle which allowed for quick, often scarless healing of even severe wounds. This fluid, invented by the Vratix of Thyferra, is a mixture of alazhi, kavam and ambori. It is the synthetic kolto.

Bacta could be administered either through disposable bacta patches or by submersion in a bacta tank. The method of administration depended on the severity of the wounds. Bacta must be applied in a solution of clear synthetic fluid which mimics the body's own vital fluids.

Bacta had a smell that was described as 'sickly-sweet'; immersion in a bacta tank could leave one with the taste and smell of bacta for weeks afterwards, and even bacta patches left such residue (although presumably less strong and shorter lasting).

During the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire allowed production of bacta only on Thyferra. The two main producers were the Zaltin Corporation and the Xucphra Corporation.
