Vortal tree

The vortal tree was a type of tree that grew in jungle on the planet Bestal Three of the Outer Rim Territories' Varada sector. — Based on corresponding data for Bestal system It had crusty seeds from which healing stimulants could be made.
During the existence of the New Republic, the company Fax Ventures harvested vortal tree seeds on Bestal Three. Using the stimulants made from the seeds, the company created medpacs the effectiveness of which was twenty-five percent higher than that of standard medpacs, such as those manufactured by the SoroSuub Corporation. Not long before Fax Ventures would begin marketing its new medpacs, the company was covering up the vortal tree seed harvesting by processing on the planet aluminite and corvax ores mined at the nearby Kadal Asteroid Field—a highly-profitable venture the lucrativeness of which was nevertheless less pronounced than that of the medpac manufacture.
