Zahara Cody was the chief medical officer, working for the Imperial Corrections Service, on-board the Imperial prison barge Purge. She had a mother and father. She was isolated from the other Imperial workers on Purge because she cared a lot about her prisonar patients. Specifically one named Gat.
In a letter to her father, she stated that she was planning to resign her post soon and take a position in another organization. Zahara also wrote a second, shorter letter telling him of a medical situation aboard Purge that had killed many people. She stated that isolation and quarantine had no effect to the virus and that she felt it only a matter of time before she became infected as well. She was one of the few people immune to the disease. Zahara Cody made an anti-virus which she gave to Han Solo, and Chewbacca. She did, however, manage to survive the events, along with Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Trig Longo.
The letters were later recovered aboard Purge after its occupants were all but wiped out by the plague.

[edit] Early Life
We know little about Zahara's life prior to the disease aboard Purge. However, it was known that she indeed did go to medical school at a school on the planet of Rhinnal.
[edit] Escaping the Purge
Zahara Cody worked as the chief medical officer of the Imperial Prison Barge Purge. During a routine day, the main thrusters on the Purge had malfunctioned and eventually stopped working all together. After drifting, Purge happened upon a derelict Star Destroyer. A scouting party was soon sent aboard the ship to salvage for parts. They brought back the parts but also a horrible disease. The infirmary on the ship was overwhelming with sick prisoners and already dead prisoners. The boarding party was put in isolation to try to contain the disease. After basically everyone was dead, Zahara went up to talk to Tisa, a droid built into Purge that knew everything about the Purge. Zahara asked Tisa what the life count aboard the Purge was. Tisa replied six; with two in solitary confinement.
Zahara then traveled down to the lower levels to solitary confinement. When she exited the turbolift, she almost tripped over a couple of guards who had succumbed to the virus. In the second cell Zahara opened, she found Han Solo and his first mate Chewbacca, who had not been infected by the virus yet. Just to be safe, Zahara injected the two with an anti-virus she had produced with her medical droid Waste. They made their way back to the turbolift. Zahara realized that the bodies were not there. The group entered the turbolift and made their way back to the medbay. When they arrived, all the bodies that had been in the beds and on the floor were all gone; nowhere to be found. Zahara found Waste on the floor, ripped to pieces. She had a little conversation with Waste, and when she turned around, Han and Chewbacca were nowhere to be found. They had just dissapeared. They returned shortly with Kale Longo and Trig Longo. When the group was reunited, they traveled back up to talk with Tisa. Tisa showed them a technical readout of the prison barge. There were red dots on the screen that represented life-forms. When Dr. Cody had been there a little while ago there were only six. Now there seemed to be hundreds, maybe even thousands. All moving in massive groups. There only choice of surviving was to try to make it out to the derelict Star Destroyer. They traveled to the docking tube the Purge had used to attach itself to the Star Destroyer; evading groups of the undead. The things had found them and were secretly following them now. They finally made it to the docking-tube. They made it through the tube just in time and sealed it air-tight so that none of the things could follow them. After much traveling and dismay, the last surviving group of the Purge had finally made it through the winding passages of the prison barge and made it to Vector.

Han, Chewbacca, and Trig went along to try to find the cockpit to turn off the tractor beam, while Zahara and Kale stayed there. Before they sealed up the hatch, Kale had gotten bitten on the leg. Zahara tried to save Kale by cutting off his leg, but it was too late, the disease had already ravaged the lower half of his body and was starting to crawl up to above his waist. The hatch suddenly burst open and the things started to chase after them. Zahara started to drag Kale, but his face was obliterated by a blaster bolt shot by one of the things chasing after them. Zahara decided there was nothing she could do for him now, and left him. She forced herself not to look back at Kale, knowing she had lost a great friend.
