The MedStar-class frigate was a class of medical frigate used by the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars,[1] which lasted from 22 BBY to 19 BBY,[2] between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Injured clone troopers requiring long-term care were transferred from Republic Mobile Surgical Units to larger medical facilities, which included MedStar-class frigates.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
