* RecycledInSpace: The story is very much a science fiction version of ''Series/{{MASH}}'', with WarIsHell operating scenes, card-playing doctors, a mobile hospital (a space station in this case), bureaucrats and media officials back home viewing the war differently than the staff, and a pair of visiting entertainers being {{Expy}}s of Creator/BobHope and Martha Raye, two [=USO=] entertainers from UsefulNotes/TheKoreanWar.

The ''[=MedStar=]'' duology by Michael Reaves and Creator/StevePerry are a pair of ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' Clone Wars books (with a tie-in story in one ''Magazine/StarWarsInsider'' issue) that combine a MedicalDrama and intrigue by taking place at a Republic hospital space station hovering near a battlefield-plagued world. A Black Sun theft ring, BloodKnight turned undeserving PropagandaHero, and Separatist spy haunt the outpost. The main protagonists are surgeon Jos Vander (who is in love with a nurse but knows the xenophobia of his homeworld means YouCantGoHomeAgain if their relationship progresses), Barriss Offee (the sole Jedi healer at the station, who struggles with feelings of anger that could lead her to the dark side), and IntrepidReporter Den Dhur. Despite being part of ''Legends'', the book seems to retroactively be set in a different continuity than the "official" Legends books due to [[spoiler:strongly contradicting ''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars'' take on Barriss as a fallen Jedi and terrorist.]]
!!Tropes:
* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler:Jos's best friend Zan, Admiral Bleyd, CorruptQuartermaster Filba, Klo Merit TheMole, a clone patient who gives Jos a JerkassRealization but dies in a later battle, a friendly droid bartender, and BloodKnight Phow Ji all die across the series]].
* BadassNormal: This is a rare story where the Jedi protagonist rarely engages in combat and the most intense fighting (or recollections of past fights) concern non-Force users.
** Admiral Tarnese Bleyd is willing to engage in HuntingTheMostDangerousGame, the more dangerous the better, and once took down a rancor with a bow.
** Unarmed combat instructor Phow Ji is an ArrogantKungFuGuy who has beaten multiple Jedi in unarmed combat (albeit while they aren't using the Force), regularly beats enemy soldiers to death, and can unleash a series of powerful blows in seconds. Even Bleyd is nervous about the idea of fighting him.

* TheLastDance: After [[spoiler:Phow Ji]]'s life is saved by someone he hates, and in a manner that demolishes his [[spoiler:FlatEarthAtheist view of the Jedi and his superiority over them]], he goes on a SuicideMission into Separatist territory, killing many elite opponents with an impressive array of moves and then revealing [[PineappleSurprise that he is holding a live grenade]] after his enemies finally mortally wound him and approach him. He also has a camera droid nearby to record the whole thing and cement his legendary status.
