An autopsy is a medical examination conducted on a deceased individual to ascertain the reason for their death. In the year 232 BBY, the Jedi came across the remnants of a Hutt starship that had been attacked by the Nihil within the Kazlin system. A team of Jedi was sent to investigate the scene, where they located the deceased body of a Hutt. Following a quick inspection, the body was transported to Starlight Beacon to undergo a formal autopsy. Following an attack by the Drengir on a settlement located on the planet of Banchii, some civilians were transformed into wood. Doctor Silar then performed post-mortem examinations on these victims, finding strange spores, but she couldn't figure out if they were for consumption purposes or reproduction.
