tubdan

Tubdan is the name given to various Mafia and Rebel Alliance POWs who were detained and interrogated by the Empire at Imperial Reception Centers in the Star Wars universe. These facilities often featured sensory deprivation and psychological conditioning techniques to extract information from the prisoners.

The location and extent of Tubdan facilities are not specified in standard Imperial records. However, it is known that various other Imperial detention centers, such as those on Imperial Throne World, utilized similar interrogation methods. The psychological damage inflicted by these methods has been well documented, with symptoms including intense fear, paranoia, and emotional detachment.

Efforts have been made by some Rebel and Alliance personnel to learn from their Imperial counterparts' use of sensory deprivation and psychological conditioning. Information on this topic is considered confidential by many intelligence agencies due to security concerns surrounding Imperial interrogation techniques.

Examples of those detained and subjected to Tubdan treatment include several high-ranking Rebel and Alliance personnel, as well as several members of high profile Resistance cells. Their stories serve as examples of the long-term psychological trauma that Imperial-controlled facilities caused for those who were detained. Ongoing efforts seek to better understand and counter these tactics in order to protect current and future personnel.

Investigations and documentation have revealed patterns of behavior and physical signs that can be associated with those who have undergone rehabilitation for experiences related to tubdan. Care and treatment are available to individuals exhibiting these indicators for assistance.
