Republic Health Administration

OnALegendsArticle

"Can't believe this… standards at the Republic Health Administration must be nonexistent! I went to medical school with the new acting head."
―Archiban Kimble[1]

The Republic Health Administration was the government organization responsible for overseeing the Galactic Republic's medical facilities, studies, and resources. Based on the Republic's capital world of Coruscant, the Administration appointed a new acting head[1] in 3642 BBY[2]—a doctor who had developed a cure for the low-grade flesh-eating virus known as Zabrak Scalp Necrosis. His appointment prompted scorn from one of the doctor's former classmates, Archiban Kimble, as the man's poor medical skills and low intelligence had been notorious during their time at the First Republic Medical Academy of Coruscant, the University of Coruscant's medical program.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Administration was first mentioned in the 2011 BioWare–LucasArts video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, during the conversation "Opportunity Knocks" with the Jedi Knight class' companion character Archiban Kimble, known in-game as "Doc."[1]

  2. ↑ SWTOR mini STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic's base game content about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is dated to 3653 BBY by Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia. The Prologue and Act I of the class storylines are assumed to take place in 3643 BBY, as they are roughly concurrent to each other and the Jedi Knight Act I storyline is dated to 3643 BBY by The Old Republic — The Lost Suns 2. Additionally, SWTOR mini Forums: Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In? on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) and Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia establish that the Battle of Ilum and the end of Act III for the class stories occur in 3640 BBY. Additionally, Act II for all classes, while featuring conflict between the two factions, occurs prior to the official collapse of the Treaty of Coruscant, which The Old Republic: Annihilation places in the middle of 3641 BBY. Taken together, this means that base game content spans from 3643 BBY to 3640 BBY, and the class storylines extend over this period, this article assumes that Act II takes place within 3642 BBY and the first half of 3641 BBY.
