Medical bay

Medical bay, also known as a medbay, medical bay, medical center, or medical wing and informally called a sick bay or sickbay, was a room or area on a starship where the sick and injured were healed. It was similar to a medcenter or a hospital. Sick bays could be found on both military and civilian vessels, and in some instances in non-mobile bases, throughout thousands of years of galactic history. They were often furnished with hospital beds and bacta tanks, and they could be staffed by sentients and medical droids alike. The sick bay aboard the medical frigate Redemption also included ammonia chambers, where species that breathed ammonia could recuperate after prolonged exposure to oxygen.
