"Our doctors discovered the cure for Iridian Plague."
―A Tah'Nuhna[1]

The Iridian Plague was a disease[1] that shared its name with the Iridia system of the Mid Rim Territories.[2] The disease existed in the galaxy prior to the First Order military's assault on the neutral Mid Rim world Tah'Nuhna[1] in 34 ABY.[3] The doctors of the Tah'Nuhna species had been the ones to find a cure for the plague. As the First Order launched their attack, one member of the species reflected on that and other achievements of the Tah'Nuhna.[1]

Behind the scenes
