Shipbreaker's Cough was a health issue that plagued the father of Tivoche Bilure, a human, during their time residing in a lower-class area of Coronet City situated on the planet Corellia. This city, distinguished by its extensive shipyards, was infamous for its heavily polluted atmosphere. In an effort to avoid suffering the same ailment as his father, Bilure departed Corellia, and subsequently documented the cough's influence on his choice in a published book.
