- "They threatened to make me program the bean juice boiler to detect the presence of impurities, and I'd be tempted (since, doing the programming, I could refrain from defining my own spittle as an "impurity") if not for the fact that they have me working on the pseudonet encryption."
- ―Personal log of Celis Bol
A bean juice boiler was a device used for preparing bean juice, a type of drink that was typically boiled before being consumed. During the waning years of the Galactic Republic, a secret base of the Metatheran Cartel trade alliance on the moon Tilnes was kitted with a bean juice boiler.[1] Circa 21 BBY,[2] the Caarite technician Celis Bol spat in some bean juice prepared for the Cartel base's overseer Ko Bas and was threatened with being tasked with re-programming the bean juice boiler to identify impurities in the juice as a punishment. Bol regarded this as a tempting proposition because such a task would have allowed the technician to program the boiler to their identity their own spittle as a contaminant.[1]
Behind the scenes
The bean juice boiler was created by Morrie Mullins and mentioned in Caaried Away, a roleplaying adventure published in March 2003 that formed part of the Metatheran Caution trilogy of the Living Force roleplaying campaign.[1]

- ↑ The Living Force Campaign Guide states that the Living Force campaign is set one year after the Invasion of Naboo, an event that is dated to 32 BBY by The New Essential Chronology. As the Living Force adventure Philology moved the campaign forward ten years to the time of the Clone Wars, the events depicted in Caaried Away can therefore be dated to circa 21 BBY.
