Doctor Usagi Lunara

“If there’s a heartbeat, there’s hope”
- Dr. Usagi Lunara

Overview

Doctor Usagi Lunara was a Naboo-born physician who rose through the ranks of the Republic Medical Corps, eventually becoming the Special Operations Brigade's sole designated surgeon and an RI Agent. Unlike most personnel serving alongside the Grand Army of the Republic, Usagi had no military upbringing. Her early training focused on civilian emergency medicine and trauma response. Following her appointment as the Special Operations Brigade Surgeon, Usagi was stationed aboard Republic Intelligence's vessel “The Agamemnon”, where she became responsible for treating high ranking officers and special operations personnel during classified missions.

Military Career

Usagi Lunara began her career at the lowest ranks of Republic Medical Operations, initially serving as an ordinary medical officer. Her exceptional surgical abilities gained recognition following her successful emergency operation on former Rear Admiral Arvol Caesar, earning her a rapid promotion to Special Operations Brigade Surgeon. Following the unfortunate death of Medical Operations Director Owen, Kix assumed leadership and personally selected Usagi as his right-hand Deputy Director, recognizing her dedication to the Republic’s Medical Corps. Originally stationed aboard Republic Intelligence's Agamemnon as its designated surgeon and scientist, Usagi eventually caught the attention of RI Director Kregg, who recruited her as a full-fledged Republic Intelligence agent, expanding her responsibilities beyond medicine and the vessel itself.

Notable Engagements

Project Lifeline

Usagi's most ambitious undertaking was Project Lifeline, a Republic Intelligence experiment intended to revolutionize emergency treatment within Medical Operations. Usagi spearheaded the project's research and development, seeking to create a device capable of rescuing personnel from critical conditions that would otherwise prove fatal. The project involved extensive experimentation, engineering collaboration, and the development of specialized medical technology. Despite the significant challenges and dangers associated with its testing, Usagi remained committed to its development, believing that the technology could drastically reduce battlefield casualties and provide critically injured soldiers with another chance at survival.

General Anakin Skywalker's Arachnid Operation

Usagi was entrusted with performing an arm amputation on Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, whom had lost his limb to a Rhen Varr Cave Spider. Given Skywalker's importance to the Grand Army of the Republic, the procedure carried great responsibility. Nevertheless, Usagi approached the operation with her awe-inspiring composure and surgical precision, completing the amputation. After completing the amputation, Anakin’s iconic robotic arm was installed by Doctor Usagi Lunara. The operation further demonstrated her ability to handle high-profile patients and complex surgical procedures, reinforcing her reputation as a dependable surgeon within Republic Medical Operations.

Rescuing Rear Admiral Arvol Caesar

One of Dr. Usagi Lunara's most significant accomplishments was saving the life of former Rear Admiral Arvol Caesar on two separate occasions. During their first encounter, Caesar suffered catastrophic injuries after being crushed beneath a speeder, forcing Usagi to perform an emergency bilateral leg amputation. Sometime later, Caesar suffered another devastating crushing injury, this time affecting both arms and resulting in severe crush syndrome. Once again, Usagi was responsible for performing the necessary amputations and ensuring his survival. Through these experiences, Usagi developed an exceptionally close relationship with the Rear Admiral, becoming one of his most trusted companions. Unfortunately, their bond was complicated by Caesar's eventual defection to the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
