Mesa 291

Mesa 291 was a mine on Bothan's Planet.

Initially a lidium mine, the mineral eventually wore out, so the mine was abandoned. It became suddenly empty, except because in the lower levels there were still plasma fires.

Rebel agent Tiree tried to use Mesa 291 as a staging point to meet with possible new recruits for the Rebel Alliance. Unfortunately, Imperial Security Bureau agent Mar Barezz found about Tiree's plan and tried to intercept the newcomers. Barezz's forces injured Tiree, but the new Rebels managed to rescue him and leave Mesa 291 under Barezz's nose.

Due to this defeat, Barezz would always held a personal grudge towards Tiree.
