A medbay, medical bay, medical center, or medical wing, was a room or area on a starship where the sick and injured were healed. It was similar to a medcenter or a hospital. Sick bays could be found on both military and civilian vessels, and in some instances in non-mobile bases, throughout thousands of years of galactic history. They were often furnished with hospital beds and bacta tanks, and they could be staffed by sentients and medical droids alike.

Medical Lab Decorations

A medbay is only as good as its equipment, so make sure to invest in the good stuff. You will need to decide what type of medical lab you are habouring – will it be an underworld clinic for criminals to get implants? A standard Republic or Military medbay for soldiers? Or are you a scientific lab, neutral to all parties?

Starship Medical Tank	Cryogenics Tank	Spacer’s Kolto Tank
Diagnostic Console (Medical)	Diagnostic Monitor (Medical)	Desk Computer
Science Station (Field)	Science Station (Large)	Rakata Stasis Chamber

Medbay Lights

If you can’t see what you’re doing, then you’re just an Underworld clinic, and you know the kind of work they do.

Laboratory Ceiling Light	Czerka Ceiling Light	Hypergate Ring
Networked Light (Blue)	Octagonal Light Node	Scaffold Lighting Array
Spacer’s Wall Lights	Holoprojection Device	Jedi Library

Medical Furniture

A medbay is more than just a few kolto tanks stuffed in a room. You need to create an environment where people can wait in times of needs, places for them to sleep, and add the tools your staff need to treat their patients.

Czerka Corner Office Desk	Arrangement: Executive’s Desk	Office Chair
Executive’s Couch	Executive’s Loveseat	Office Divider
Selkath Couch	Selkath Chair	Spacer’s Supply Locker
Plasteel Crate (Single)	Plasteel Crate (Stacked)	Plasteel Tech Barrel
Shipping Crate (Single)	Shipping Crate (Stacked)	Kolto Barrel
Selkath Kolto Tank	High Back Padded Chair	Basic Metal Bed
Hunter’s Planning Table	Czerka Data Core	Republic Data Storage Unit
Security Camera	Selkath Console	Server Monitor

Republic Medbay Decorations

The Republic knows what needs to be done when it comes to repairing broken bodies in the medical bay.

Banner: Republic (Large)	Flag: Republic Standard	Flag: Republic Hologram
Republic Crate (Single)	Republic Crate (Stacked)	Republic Supply Locker
Hospital Bed	Ship Wall Locker	Underworld Supply Locker
Computer Desk (Republic)	Basic Republic Chair	Basic Metal Chair
Republic Medic	Medical Droid (Republic)

Imperial Medbay Decorations

The Empire does not fear death – but its citizens sometimes do, so the Imperial medbays are always well equipped.

Banner: Imperial (Large)	Flag: Imperial Standard	Flag: Imperial Hologram
Imperial Crate (Single)	Imperial Crate (Stacked)	Imperial Medical Bed
Imperial Worktable (Alert Status)	Basic Imperial Chair	Computer Desk (Imperial)
Imperial Medic	Medical Droid (Imperial)

Biological Medical Decorations

Every scientist needs something to experiment on that isn’t sentient, and it’s always nice to have your own ingredients on hand.

Planter: Glowing Cave Fern	Planter: Glowing Plague Bulbs	Planter: Glowing Spores
Biennial Bud	Bio Energy Fiber	Psychoactive Fungus
Unknown Microorganism Colony	Inert Growth	Medicinal Fungus
Potted Plant: Luminescent Mushrooms (Blue)		Potted Plant: Yavin Fungus
Killik Eggs	K’lor’slug Eggs	Tuk’ata Research Table

I got the chance to ask a question during the Community Cantina in Los Angeles, and of course it was about Strongholds. I was attempting to ask if when you share a stronghold between characters, their furniture etc would also be shared. Musco and crew delivered with info about Strongholds!

Asker: Hi there I’ve got a question about Strongholds – upcoming. I’ve got a Jedi, I’ve got a Sith on the other side. When they’re sharing the same stronghold, we know they’re legacy-wide, BUT – will my Jedi and my Sith be in the same room together, bashing eachother? Or will it simply be the unlock that is legacy wide?
