Skirmish in the Bandomeer hospital

{{Battle This skirmish took place in a hospital on Bandomeer in 987 BBY. The Meerian Salto Zendar and his three brothers had previously attempted to kidnap a high-ranking Muun officer in the InterGalactic Banking Clan. His three brothers were killed in the attempt, and Zendar was forced to become a fugitive. A large bounty was put on him by the Banking Clan, drawing bounty hunters from across the galaxy, among them Lucia, a former trooper in the Gloom Walkers. The bounty hunters tracked him to a hospital on Bandomeer, where he was being treated for his wounds. Lucia found him first, however, her pathway was blocked by a nurse at the hospital, Serra, who refused to allow the patient to be moved while he was in critical condition.

However, a a Twi'lek bounty hunter arrived, shooting Lucia in the gut and knocking Serra away with his blaster pistol. He then took Zendar and dragged the injured fugitive out of the room. Lucia attmepted to follow them out, but another bounty hunter arrived and shot her in the back. Lucia blacked out, and Serra pulled her back into the room, performing life-saving surgery on her as the battle for Zendar continued. By the time the skirmish had ended, Zendar had died, along with four bounty hunters, three of the hospital's security guards, two patients, and one of the hospital's nursing staff. Lucia vowed to pretect Serra, who she knew had saved her life.
