- "I will report to your quarters at once, sir! Just as soon as I… shower with this here… this antibacterial nanofoam ya sent. Awful thoughtful of you, sir."
- ―TK-421, recording a holomessage for Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin
Antibacterial nanofoam was a hygiene product used to combat bacteria that could be used while showering.[1] In 0 BBY,[2] Imperial stormtrooper TK-421—who was stationed on the Death Star battle station—accidentally recorded himself via the MSE-6 series repair droid MSE-6-G735Y complaining about how constantly wearing a helmet was ruining his skin and had given him a large pimple. After Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin saw the holorecording when the droid collided with his ankle, he sent the droid back to TK-421 with a message and a delivery of antibacterial nanofoam. The stormtrooper recorded a response saying he would shower with the product.[1]
