Unidentified Republic soldier (Taris)

"Doc! How's Jessop? He okay?" "Your friend suffered from a rakghoul bite." "Just a bite. So he got off easy?" "He was infected with the rakghoul plague. He was turning into one of them, so I spared him the misery." "I think I'm gonna be sick." "There, there. We'll find you a grief counselor."

- A Republic soldier and the doctor

A human male served as a Republic soldier in the Army of the Galactic Republic in the year 3643 BBY, during the Cold War between the Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire. He participated in the attempted resettlement of the planet Taris, and was friends with Jessop, an individual who was bitten by a rakghoul. The soldier asked a Twi'lek doctor about Jessop, and learned that the doctor had killed Jessop as he was already infected with the rakghoul plague. The soldier remarked that he felt sick, and the doctor offered to take him to a grief counselor.

The soldier had light skin, brown hair, and blue eyes, and wore the green armor Republic soldiers stationed on Taris wore. Upon hearing that Jessop had been euthanized, he claimed to feel ill.

Behind the scenes
The Republic soldier first appears as a background NPC with the nameplate "Concerned Soldier" on Taris in the 2011 video game Star Wars: The Old Republic.
