Mining

Mining was the business of extracting mineral and metal resources from a planet via technology.

History
On Kessel, mining for spice took place at the dangerous Spice mines of Kessel. The planet Lothal was also subject to heavy mining following the creation of the Galactic Empire.

On Cynda, the moon of Gorse, thorilide was mined from crystalline caverns with baradium bisulfate.

The Galactic Empire destroyed many of the natural resources of Lothal, replacing them with mines and machines.
