"The Ryndellia system… near Naboo. Isn't that where our medical base is?"
―Anakin Skywalker — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[2]

The Kaliida Shoals Medical Center was a Haven-class medical station and the first of its kind to serve the Galactic Republic as a medcenter during the Clone Wars. It was located near the Naboo system.

The command center of Kaliida Shoals

The Kaliida Shoals Medical Center was located near Kaliida Shoals,[7] in the Ryndellia system.[2] The space station was powered by a reactor slung underneath the main structure of the station. The control hub was located in a tower at the top of the structure, while the eight main medical bays,[3] filled with bacta tanks, covered much of the interior.[2] Each medical station had a vertical gap for accommodating a Republic medical frigate.[3] The station was painted in the characteristic red stripes of other Republic vessels.[2]

History

"Even if we had the transports, it is not possible to evacuate all of our wounded in time."
"You must try. You won't stand a chance against that battleship."
―Nala Se and Admiral Wullf Yularen — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[2]

The station began as a merchant hub in the Enarc system. At some point before the war, it was abandoned as a derelict station, and at the beginning of hostilities was bought by the Republic. It was refurbished with standardized habitation modules and medical facilities and towed by interstellar tugs[3] to the Ryndellia system, near the Kaliida Nebula, where it served as a medical center. The station received injured clone troopers, who were treated by the staff, which included the empathic Kaminoan doctor Nala Se.[2]

During the Clone Wars, the station fell under the assault of General Grievous' forces, however Anakin Skywalker and Shadow Squadron foiled the attack.[2] This marked one of the earliest deployments of the new BTL-B Y-wing starfighter.[8] At the time of the attack, the station was caring for some 60,000 wounded clones.[3]
