The source of this new outbreak is still unknown at this time. However, they appear to be more widely hit around the Mid-Core regions once again.


While the virus has yet to reach Anzat Space, the Ministry of the Interior and Chief Medical Officials have gathered at the Anzatan Royal Hospital near New Belmont to dispense the vaccine for the virus.



The Bothan Flu is normally transmitted interspecies, but as of late has mutated into a strain, which seems to be affecting several species all over the Galaxy. We did not want Anzat to be over run by the virus. The Ministry of the Interior has been working on this vaccine since the Flu was discovered last month, reverse engineering it into a vaccine to prevent the spread. We are proud to finally have enough of the vaccine to protect the Commonwealth.


All citizens are strongly encouraged to visit the nearest Medical Complex to be vaccinated. The Ministry is also dispatching several Sprinter-type Medical Ships to aide those in Anzat’s remote colonies, as well as those unable to travel.
