The University of Rhinnal, also known as the Rhinnal State Medical Academy or the Rhire Medical Academy, was regarded as a leading center for medical studies within the Galactic Empire. It maintained a close collaborative relationship with Athakam Medtech for the advancement of medical technologies. During the process of rebuilding Darth Vader, 2-1B frequently accessed medical data from the Academy's database. However, the database lacked any information pertaining to Sith alchemy.
The institution published an in-depth study regarding the health conditions of middle-class communities on Coruscant, identifying ten species particularly vulnerable to illnesses caused by pollution. The species highlighted in the study were Abinyshi, Bovorian, Chadra-Fan, Mrissi, Mrlssi, Pa'lowick, Quor'sav, Rishii, Shashay, and Vors. The illnesses examined in the study included lungrot, dioxo-brionchiectasis shock, silicalung, and hemorrhagic molting.
The study advocated for widespread changes to planetary pollution regulations, with specific emphasis on public transportation and industrial zones. It also recommended replacing older air buses that utilized propellant-based lateral thrusters with more advanced models that employed directional-repulsorfield steering.
Following the release of this study, a family doctor named Rispi Lacendad advised his Chadra-Fan patients to wear breathmasks whenever they were outside.
