Bacta is a specially formulated treatment liquid which promotes rapid healing and acts as a disinfectant. The attending physician can use the tank's computers to inject surface medicines into the bacta fluid, inject medicines into the bloodstream or dispense them orally.
Characters must have the medicine skill to use a bacta tank (formally known as a rejuvenation tank). On most planets, only licensed doctors can administer bacta treatments. A Very Easy medicine skill is necessary to use a bacta tank - regardless of the wound level. If the roll is made, the character will heal - it's just a matter of time.
A character attempting to use a bacta tank without the medicine skill must make a Heroic first aid or Technical roll. If the roll is failed, the patient's wound level increases by two (Wounded to Mortally Wounded; Incapacitated or Mortally Wounded to Dead).
If the roll is successful, the healing time is dependant upon the severity of the character's injuries.
| Character is: | | Treatment Time: |
|---|
| Wounded | | 1D Hours | | Incapacitated | | 4D Hours | | Mortally Wounded | | 1D Days | |
