Zahara Cody

Zahara Cody was the female Human chief medical officer working for the Imperial Corrections Service, aboard the Imperial prison barge Purge. She had a mother and father, whom she trusted very much. Cody spent most of her time in the infirmary with her 2-1B medical droid Waste caring for the sick inmates of the ship. During her time on Purge, she wrote several letters to her family that were later released to the public for educational purposes.

During her service aboard the Imperial prison barge Purge, a mass outbreak of a virus killed nearly everyone aboard the barge, despite the efforts of Cody and Waste to help them. As the number of dead and dying rose, Cody found that she herself was immune and had Waste create an anti-virus from her blood. She knew that there must be more people that had the same immunity as her on the ship. And so she found Kale and Trig Longo, two teenage prisoners accused of rebellion against the Empire. In Solitary Confinement, deep within the bowls of the prison ship, she found two of the most notorious smugglers of all time, Han Solo and the Wookiee Chewbacca. The group would soon find out that they could not escape from the Purge in an escape pod, mostly due to the fact that the derelict Star Destroyer Vector tractor beam was still activated. After running from the undead, Cody and company made it to the docking tube that connected the Purge to Vector. The five surviving members finally escaped the Purge and made it to the derelict Star Destroyer. Discovering that the Destroyer was also overrun and being forced to leave Kale behind when he took a direct blaster shot, Dr. Cody fled deeper into the bowels of the ship and discovered a laboratory where experiments had gone wrong and released the virus. She was one of only four people to survive the disaster.
