Melios Purl Melios Purl was a doctor . Biography . During 1 ABY , Melios Purl worked as a doctor in the Bestine medical center on Tatooine . During his time there , a young moisture farmer named Maikeen Storn got bit by a womp rat . Because the woman waited too long to see Melios , the bite became infected , and Melios feared that Maikeen would be unable to safely walk to the medical center . Fortunately , Melios found a spacer willing to find Maikeen , and escort her to Bestine . Though Maikeen attempted to make it to Melios on her own , she soon realized that she would be unable to do so . She transmitted her coordinates , which helped the spacer find her quickly . Immediately , the spacer brought Maikeen to the medical center . Though Maikeen tried to make it seem as though she was not seriously injured , Melios thanked the spacer , insisting that he had undoubtedly saved her life . However , matters were not yet over for Melios . Melios became concerned about the possible spread of the Gray Rot disease . To further his investigation , he needed the hide of an infected womp rat . This would help him determine if the plague had mutated , and required a new vaccine . Once again , Melios employed the same spacer who had helped him earlier . Before the spacer set out to find an infected womp rat , Melios inoculated him against the common Gray Rot with a modified bacta spray . Melios assured the spacer that this would keep him safe . However , there was still the risk of there being a new strain , which could potentially infect the spacer . Melios further clarified that he would provide a new vaccine as soon as he developed one . The spacer was convinced , and set out to find an infected womp rat . Eventually , the spacer encountered a mutated womp ray , and killed it . Immediately , the hide was returned to Melios , who immediately began an analysis . Melios informed the spacer that he very well may have saved the city from a terrible epidemic . After the analysis , it indeed seemed apparent that a new vaccine was required . After its development , the spacer returned to Melios . Melios informed the spacer that the vaccine would need to be supplied to all moisture farmers that lacked access to cities . He tasked the spacer with delivering the supply to a representative of the Affiliated Moisture Farmers , named Aroy Sekun . Aroy Sekun was a friend of the Darklighter family , and was a responsible individual that would make sure the vaccine got properly distributed . The spacer agreed to help once again , but time was of the essence . Melios said that if the supply was not delivered quickly enough , Gray Rot can devastate a settlement in mere days . Fortunately , the spacer wasted no time in seeking Aroy . After a short while , the spacer found Aroy , and handed him the supply of vaccines . Aroy assured the spacer that the vaccines would make it to everyone that needed it . With his objective complete , the spacer returned to Melios for further assignments . However , Melios no longer required the spacer ' s assistance . Instead , he offered his thanks , and informed the spacer that he had the gratitude of the citizens of Tatooine . Before the two individuals parted ways , Melios gave the spacer a gift . The gift was a blueprint of a new type of stimpak he and his associates were working on . Though the blueprint itself was of little value , Melios informed the spacer that he could make some of his own if he wanted . Melios told the spacer that if there were ever any more emergencies , he would be sure to ask for him . For the time being though , both Melios and the helpful spacer parted ways .
