Thyferra is why bacta exists: a humid Inner Rim world of Vratix, alazhi, and kavam, and two human corporations — Xucphra and Zaltin — that spent generations bottling a people. Almost every medpac in the films traces to this climate.

The X-wing novels' Bacta War (Legends) is the political file: Isard, a monopoly, and Rogue Squadron taking the planet so the New Republic could heal. Canon still treats Thyferra as the bacta source. Searches for 'bacta planet' stop here.

First appearance: Named in reference / X-wing: The Bacta War (1997)
