Bacta is at the heart of medical treatment throughout the galaxy. Without it, many modern medical treatments simply could not be performed as efficiently, effectively and free from side effects. Refining raw alazhi into this precious substance requires extensive facilities, frequently located close to the alazhi fields in order to simplify logistics. These facilities contain all the equipment required to process the alazhi into the potent healing substance that is bacta. Processed bacta is then stored in large, sealed, climate-controlled tanks before being further packaged into the final delivery medium, such as healing sticks or bacta refills.

The refinement facility will also include facilities for storing the finished products and logistical equipment to handle the packaged goods and load them onto transports to be shipped across the galaxy. Needless to say, security at these facilities is tight, given the value of the bacta products, and constant patrols are mounted around the interior of the secure compounds. Security check points will frequently be encountered as well as electronic security measures such as coded locks and identity scanners.
