- "The latest Journal of Xenomedicine reports that Wookiees live for centuries—and mate for life! How can they do that? It's unnatural."
- ―Doc
The Journal of Xenomedicine was a medical journal that was regularly released during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire.[1] Specializing in reporting on major achievements and influential figures[2] in the field of xenomedicine, the study of alien medicine and biology, the Journal once released a report on the lengthy lifespans and mating habits of the Wookiee species.[3] The xenopathologist and combat medic Archiban Kimble, better known as Doc, contacted the Journal after he successfully cured the Hutt Suudaa Nem'ro of a unique disease,[2] but the Journal was unable to examine the Hutt before[4] the Houk bounty hunter Skadge[5] killed Nem'ro.[4]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The Journal of Xenomedicine is mentioned frequently throughout the series of conversation with Doc, a companion character for the Jedi Knight class in the 2011 BioWare video game Star Wars: The Old Republic.[1][2][3][4] The culmination of the conversations about Nem'ro is a tie-in with the Bounty Hunter class, as that class' companion Skadge leaves the player to hunt down the Hutt who betrayed him in the conversation "Slugfest."[5]
