Rakghoul serum
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Rakghoul serum was medicine that cured the Rakghoul disease that once infected, would cause people to turn into Rakghouls. It was described as a vial of greenish bubbling liquid. During his quest to leave Taris, Revan found some serum on the corpse of a dead Sith trooper and turned it over to Zelka Forn, the Upper City doctor.
The Serum was created by Galactic Republic scientists to cure the Outcasts during the Republic's restoration of the planet. The Republic had a base in the Upper City as the center of restoration as well as the location where the scientist perfected the cure. However, the Sith armada had taken notice of the planet and invaded. After driving the Republic out, they established their own base. The Sith troopers used the samples of the Rakghoul serum for patrolling in the Undercity, particularly during their search for Republic crashed escaped pods of the Endar Spire. The Sith had so many encounters with the Rakghoul's that they ran out of serum by the time Revan entered the Undercity, although some troopers who were killed still had serum samples on their corpses.
