It's interesting how the creators of Bacta, a stronger healing liquid than Kolto, were much more open about how Bacta worked than the Selkath were with Kolto.
Yes, that is very interesting 🤔
Perhaps the religious aspects of the Progenitor created an insular belief system, like "We Selkath were chosen to use the kolto wisely" or some such. If the Star map is Rakata force-attuned tech, then perhaps kolto might be "Force-bearing matter" or a variant of midichlorians?
@@supercellodude Are you saying that either religion or the dark side of the force could have played a role in the Selkath being so secretive?
@@galaxy-eyesgarchomp9478 probably both. Consider how the Jedi reacted to the Old Sith Empire being a civilization of dark side wielders
@@supercellodude That is true, the force does affect individuals in strange ways. Even those who have little to no force sensitivity are affected by it in strange ways.
Count dooku: "And finally, Mantu, your people were once a peaceful race. How far they have fallen."
The Selkath: We don't believe sharing our knowledge with others will benefit us in the long run.
The Sith: That is why you fail.
*Sith music starts playing*
@@geetslys Wasn't it Darth Andeddu who said, "Knowledge is power and true Sith don't share power?"
“GET SOME KOLTO, DELTA”
Wonder how it would’ve changed the Republic Commando memes
I think one of the major reasons that Manaan able to go back to some relevance during the Clone Wars was because Thyferra seceded and join the CIS leaving the Republic to explore other options for medical supplies like third party bacta vendors, the bota of Drongar and of course kolto.
Thyferra was right to secede.
It’s all fun and games until Vader gets an addiction to bacta
Darth Bacta
As art reflecting life, the Selkath of Manaan serve as a warning for pinning so much of an economy to one resource
Reads this
Stares at Russia intensely.
There's a theory it used to be more potent but it started becoming less so as the Star map healed itself cause that healing was what was causing the kolto
For such a life saving fluid it was, no one would ever expect bacta to have a horrible effect like this... RIP to the Selkath species of Manaan. May they sleep peacefully with the fishes 🐟
Banana republic...
Selkath were selfish and xenophobic. They deserved it
@@therealfakeAlphabet space nazis....
Fish lives matter
Zapp: I hate these filthy Neutrals, Kif. With enemies you know where they stand but with Neutrals, who knows? It sickens me.
Lol
The Bacta Wars was the first star wars I ever bought with my own allowance money when I was a little kid in 96. I had other other books before that but my parents always bought them for me. So I'd love a video on the planet that makes bacta.
In this book, and possibly in the Krytos Trap (bk. 3), a Vratix states that originally, the bacta trade was widespread, not limited entirely to Thyferra.
7:06 "For reasons unknown, the Kolto supply dwindled.." *Whistles innocently*
Imagine we had bacta in real life.
It be expensive
@MelloWattz it's literally bacteria, they can scale it up easily.
That would be awesome
@@stefthorman8548 if only it would work like that
A lot of medical professionals would be out of work
Selkath: you took everything from us!
Vratix: I don’t even know who you are
“Dante, in his Inferno, put those who are neutral in the everlasting fight between right and wrong in the lowest place in hell.”
"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality." - Dante Alighieri
If I was a businessman I would buy a large amount Kolto, a PCL 27, and hundreds of cloning tanks and mass produce the fluid. I might add spices to improve effectiveness and then sell it to backwater worlds at a price cheaper than bacta. Controlling production and distribution would allow me to make a ridiculous profit. I’m surprised Lando never thought of it.
Selkath: “Hey guys want some healing juice? :D”
Sith: *Bomber sounds intensify*
All of this talk about joining the Republic and the Clones Wars made me wonder about what are the benefits of joining the Republic in the first place. Sure, the Selkath did this to themselves. But when it come to the other worlds, their reasons to leave during the Clones Wars are legitimate due to the oppression and mistreatments by the Republic. Plus, by the time of the Clones Wars, we only heard about the majority of the planets in the Mid and the Outer Rims wanted to leave the Republic again and again. So what are the benefits of joining the Republic anyway?
Mostly for protection I think. If you were in trouble, then the Republic was theoreticly there to back you up.
@@attila535 But physically, they never do. To make it worse, they lazily solved the problem by assigning that job to the megacorporations instead.
@@lerneanlion The "Republic" is pretty Apathetic and Incompetent in most time periods let's be fair.
It is no surprise how often and how easily systems and planets were willing to go neutral or change sides from it.
It depends on the period you're talking about. In the early millennia of the republic's formation, where like half the known galaxy had yet to even be discovered by the republic, & most definitely when the Siths were still an army, the republic had been much more sincere & involved in their dealings. Joining the republic at that period really did get a better deal at protection, other than the obvious benefit of getting way larger access to the galaxy for trade & stuff. That was back then, of course. We all know what the republic had been like for the past several hundreds of years before Palpatine came into picture.
I love to hear about the aspects of Star Wars lore not spoken about enough, like corporations and stuff
Narrator: “bacta destroyed a civilization!”
Me: “they have done that themselves!”
Selkath: We have the best healing agent ever
[Vratix teleports behind them]
Vratix: No longer.
[The Vratix overheal the Selkath with bacta]
Super heal
So, basically, Manaan’s Kolto trade was the Star Wars equivalent of ancient China’s silk trade.
Great video on one of my favorite designed species but I'm curious why use so much clone wars era imagery (specifically all the clones and droids) in an old republic era topic? Looking forward to a video on the Vratix!
I wish bacta were real better than go to a hospital
Yes please make a video about theBacta Makers thank you and may the force be with you .
"for reasons uknown" Revan: *sings shaggy* "WASN'T ME"
Great video.
Thanks for the update.
Curiously, some sources say that kolto is actually better than bacta at dealing with certain injuries and illnesses, but bacta supplanted it by being more readily available and better for more things
I heard one of the reasons kolto could still be marketed is the fact it was hypoalergic. There are races that require different types of bacta because of allergic reactions to the mix, whereas kolto could be administered to nearly everyone.
Kolto had peaks. If was too harvested, the source would produce a weaker version, and would take time to recover. On the other hand, bacta could be synthetized in any laboratory with all the materials, and it would stay consistent as long as the formula was followed. Kolto started as the best, but bacta was more acessible, and soon took the throne and was improved enough to be better in general than kolto.
I'm always a fan of healing and it is awesome to see some background on these!
Also let me add some things.
Like iron replacing bronze on our world, bacta initially was a weaker, but more available product. Plus, since is a synthetic product, it could be easily refined and improved. There was attempts to replicate kolto in laboratory, but there was never any results.
Kolto also started to lose effectiveness. Could still heal, but was weaker than a few decades before. It is assumed was the result of overharvesting, tgat led the world to produce aweaker substance to support the excess of demand. By that time, however, bacta was already a powerful healing agent, and most labs could safely replicate it.
By the time of the clone wars, kolto was very effective once more. However, was expensive, since was a natural profuct from a single world. The army was relting on bacta for centuries, and it was easily accessible, so only magisters and naturalists were interested in it.
By the Galactic Empire era, Manaan was invaded, enslaved, and converted on a resort for the rich. However, kolto was harvested heavily once more, and sold cheaply to the masses, until the reserves depleted. Without any reason to stay there, the Empire abandoned manaan, leaving the people in poverty. Would take decades for the kolto supplies to recover, but by then Manaan was forgotten and isolated.
Glad you did a video on this Manaan is my favourite planet from KOTOR I just really like water planets, hence why I Love Kamino as well.
Plus the soundtrack of Ahto City is amazing. And I love the Selkath as a species.
So again well done!
I would like to hear about Thyferra
I considered Bacta to be like stem cells in our world. I still say we need to fund Stem Cell Research. Read about it enough and you'll realize no baby murder required. Can safely extract them from healthy adults as well.
So the selkath were basically Switzerland except instead of mountains it’s endless ocean.
Thankyou boss for that great info. It was 🔥
Serves them right for making Manaan such a boring, yawn-inducing planet.
I don't know, I think Taris fits that bill. Really hate condescending, stagnant, and uncaring city planets.
Plus, the ocean of Manaan sure is pretty to look at, even in a 18+ year old game.
Just think about it, if someone discovered some new form of "wonder medicin" that would utherly replace fx. penicillin, it would pretty much spell the downfall of producers of the "old" product.
Always wondered what happened to the Selkath after the Jedi Civil War. I get now why Dooku said that the Selkath used to be a mighty race, and they had since fallen from their former glory and prestige
So essentially Manaan is the inverted Saudi Arabia of starwars instead of vast deserts its oceans both placing heavy reliance on one singular liquid resource
So basically, Manaan then was a bit like the Qatar, U.A.E., or Saudi Arabia in today's world.
And what happened to Manaan is what would happen to these countries if (for instance) algae biofuel ever becomes as cheap and easy to make as regular petroleum.
The selcath are amazing !
i love the selkath section of kotor...that and the rakghouls are the closest the game gets to zombies. also i like their fishy gurgles.
Glad the Selkath remained in canon via Clone Wars.
If the video about Thyferra and the Vratix also includes the Bacta War, I'm all for it.
Kolto baby, play enough kotor to know that
Lol the Sith counter offer was hilarious
Amazing video.
A pity. They would have been more sympathetic had they sided with the Republic in the Clone Wars. Even more so had they either stayed neutral or sided with the Rebels during the Dark Times.
Wonder what real life medicinal parallels are connected with this "out with the old, in with the new" situation? Also reminds me of when the short lived Pony Express got replaced by the telegram.
Oh, yes, please do the history of bacta.
“Stop limping around and get some bacta, soldier."
We need a video on the Blackwing Virus from Red Harvest and Death Troopers!!!
In Star Wars canon however, Kolto was replaced by Bacta during the High Republic Era.
Ok
No one gives a fuck about canon
Well Disney Canon doesn't respect old lore since they can't be bothered with reading it, so I won't respect it.
@@pedrokantor3997 actually they do, I feel like the High republic is hugely inspired by Kotor, so many similarities. That’s why I love it so much. ♥️
the selkath are the neutrals in futurama. cant change my mind
essentially Mannan was space Venezuela both were nations that built their economy exclusively on the export of one product and suffered the consequences.
Bacta, never fails!😏👌
Hi
Liked your video
Bacta didn't destroy their civilization, greed did.
On to the next video 📹
So basically they became the alien star wars version of bioshocks rapture city🤔 just without the Adam drug…
Yeah can u do a video about the Thyferrans pls 🥺🥺🥺
Before the vid starts, it's kolto--I remember it from KOTOR
Huh, didn't know there was something before bacta.
legends Thyferra was amazing
Do a video on Red the Droid jedi. 😆
Can you do more something about abeloth?
Are you kidding...we have Bacta on Earth, I use it all the time. It's called Bactine! LOL 😉
I say let's do the Tythero next. :)
Tythero?
@@michaelandreipalon359 I just pronounced how it sounded when Geetsly said it at the end of the video.
If there's one thing Star Wars has taught me, besides that no one outside of Mace Windu dies from falling a great height, it's that many things in the Star Wars Universe are tough to spell.
Ah, you meant Thyferra. That planet also featured in the fourth X-Wing novel The Bacta War.
Let’s go first maybe?
The Senate has no need for bacta since he is all powerful.
*Intense Kotor flashbacks*
Before even watching I wanted to just take a guess and say kolto.
And then theres kolcta...
Yes to pytherons (sorry don't know spelling)
I thought Bacta was store brand Kolto.
Wasnt koltho the better one? I think they offerd it to wedge to fight that bioweappn on coruscant, and the one that offerd it was a slave by the bacta companies or so🤔
Would love to see a video about Thyferra next
Was that the same as shark in Phantom Mace?
No
Sorry Fish people, now you know how Drongar and its mutating Bota feel.
Were there any species that were allergic to bacta or to whom bacta was highly poisonous?
Lol "thr sith responded by bombing them"
👍👌
Sith and Republic soldiers looking at each other on Manaan: da fuk they doing over there?
not so much geopolitics as thalassopolitics, or maybe kosmopolitics.
Never base your economy around a single resource.
Bacta killed the kolto star
I hate the entire selkath species. The Stivastin boss fight in SWTOR was hell.
Competition was always going cause more harm for some than for others.
But what is the actual difference between the two?
Bacta is easier to produce, heals injuries faster and was generally cheaper.
It did what kolto did but faster.
@@Dragon_Lair Yeah, I did some research and found interesting lore about it. Apparently it's way of production was also not kept as a secret, as the race who invented it wanted to help as many as possible. They are nice bug people.
@@honooryu5374 Yup.
The Bane novel also goes into it. When Darth Bane was a trooper he talks about how Kolto had become a last resort in the galaxy. Standard bacta treatment would get a soldier on the verge of death back up to strength in a day but Kolto treatment would take 5 days.
When it comes down to it, both are miraculous but bacta is just better.
Another key difference between them is that bacta is 100% manufactured and Kolto is 100% natural.
iOS vs Android
bruh i meant first
