Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Republic Mobile Surgical Units—RMSUs (pronounced "Rimsoos") for short—were small field hospitals used extensively during the Clone Wars to patch up injured clone troopers and other personnel. They were staffed by a full contingent of surgeons, nurses, and medical droids, and could be set up close to battlefields and taken down for relocation with less than an hour's notice. Aside from the general medical facilities, staff offices and housing, Rimsoos also housed a cantina, which served as a place for soldiers, surgeons, nurses, media, and the like to unwind and socialize. On the planet Drongar during the Clone Wars, there were a total of fifteen of these units.

In the aftermath of the Declaration of a New Order, the RMSUs were renamed Imperial Mobile Surgical Units, or "Imsoos".
