GH-7 Medical Droid

The GH-7 medical droid is one of the premier medical droids in the galaxy. These droids are typically found in the best hospitals and serve as personal physicians to the wealthy and the powerful. Their design has won many awards. Part of this design includes giving them a calm and gentle voice designed to reassure their patients. These droids have been programmed for high degree of compassion. In addition, their three hands allow them to perform the most delicate su rgeries without assistance. The GH-7’s tool arm allows it to take samples for analysis while using its other three hands for complex procedures, and its repulsorlift propulsion allows it to easily navigate the hallways and rooms of a crowded hospital.

     As wi th other medical droids, the programming of GH-7 droids includes both the “physician’s code” and strong prohibitions against harming any intelligent organic bei ng. GH-7 medical droids are incapable of engaging in combat except to protect their patients, and even then, they can use only weapons set to do stun damage on intelligent, living targets.

     GH-7 medical droids can be played as droid heroes.

GH-7 Medical Droid Encounters

Because they are significantly more expensive than most other medical droids, GH-7 droids are rare on poor worlds and in the more troubled portions of the galaxy. Outside the major hospitals of the Core Worlds, GH-7 droids are most commonly found as the personal physicians of wealthy businesspeople and government officials. However, some wealthy philanthropists donate GH-7 droids to hospitals or clinics on fringe world or to serve as relief workers. Also, because of the compassion programmed into them, many GH-7 droids that gain their independence seek out work in poor or troubled regions. Occasionally, travelers run across a GH-7 droid working tirelessly at an otherwise poorly funded rural clinic or serving as a medic aboard a tramp starship while also performing medical relief work at every needy planet the ship visits. GH-7 medical droids excel at all of these unlikely positions specifically because their multiarmed, repulsorlift design allows them to work in difficult conditions and perform almost all medical procedures without assistance. Dozens of GH-7 units have received awards for medical excellence, and an almost equal number have been recognized for their humanitarian work.
