A tablet intended for sterilization served the purpose of rendering water potable. During the year 3 ABY, Brand and Hazram Namir, who were soldiers belonging to the Rebel Alliance, employed these pills to purify the water they collected in their canteens from a creek located on the jungle planet named Coyerti. This action evoked memories of their experiences on the world Kor-Lahvan in the year 0 BBY.
The novel Battlefront: Twilight Company, penned by Alexander Freed and released in 2015, featured sterilization pills.
