Shilmer's syndrome

Shilmer's syndrome was a degenerative,^[1] flesh-eating^[2] malady that could consume the limbs and vocal cords of those it affected. After Interstellar Thorilide Guild inspector Lemuel Tharsa contracted the disease on the Inner Rim planet Gorse, he spent some time in a medcenter there before recreating himself as the mogul Denetrius Vidian with extensive full-body cybernetics. Vidian's later death as a result of his treasonous actions against the Galactic Empire during the Gorse Conflict was covered up as a relapse of the disease.^[1]
