After the reorganization of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, the new Galactic Empire only allowed bacta to be produced on Thyferra, which was then stockpiled on Bespin.

At some point, Emperor Palpatine had the chemical sequence for bacta stored at his stronghold on Wayland with the possible intention being the development of a weapon designed to neutralize the properties of the compound. However, his scientists never developed a weapon and the sequence remained stored on Wayland. When the Yuuzhan Vong War gripped the galaxy, the Yuuzhan Vong conquered the planet Wayland where Shapers managed to analyze the bacta formula whereupon they created a virus that targeted the alazhi plant on a genetic level. This was in order to create a bio-weapon designed to kill anyone who was treated by bacta. However, their plans were thwarted by Klin-Fa Gi along with Uldir Lochett as well as his crew.[3]

bacta is simply too stupid to actually treat seriously

like, apparently you can drink it and it works just as well

it's called

bactade

fuck the EU

Side note: I'd highly encourage everyone to read the new Zahn book "Choice of One" since it alludes to an interesting insight to Endor and what Thrawn would have done had he been there.

In other news, why the fuck would you need a magical fluid that, as I recall, is in short supply for the rebels, when you can treat him with warm water? Like ya'll, and I, had assumed was the case.
