Offworld Mining Corporation

Offworld Mining Corporation was a large mining company led by a group of Hutts and Xanatos, the Dark Jedi. Its fronts were numerous and included the Telos company known as UniFy. They often stripped planets of their resources for the purpose of their own greed and wealth. Some of Offworld's major operations include Telos and Bandomeer and the company controlled the ore mining of most of the Outer Rim worlds. Offworld also served as the first major enemy that Obi-Wan Kenobi ever faced.

History
Offworld was founded by Xanatos after stealing the treasury of the planet Telos. Using the stolen fortune and his Jedi abilities (along with some unscrupulous business practices), Xanatos transformed it into the galaxy's largest mining concern. This resulted in Xanatos becoming one of the most powerful men in the galaxy.

Offworld eventually ran into some unspecificed financial difficulties due to the fact that Xanatos made some poor investments. This resulted in Xanatos attempting to refinance himself by robbing the Jedi Knighthood. After this failed, Xanatos inflicted unimaginable environmental damage on his homeplanet Telos by strip mining it and also running rigged lottery contests.

The company passed to Xanatos' son Granta Omega after his death and was continued as an unscrupulous business concern underneath him. It is likely that the company fell to utter ruin following the death of Granta Omega.

Activities
The Offworld mining operation controlled much of the ore and mineral extraction performed in the Outer Rim Territories, some twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo. The employees of Offworld wore a triangular black patch emblazoned with a red planet encircled by a silver starship. The planet and starship combined to give the impression of a blood-red eye. Offworld Mining was one of the oldest and richest companies in the galaxy, and it was not afraid to eliminate its competition at all costs. Leadership of Offworld was often mysterious, although Hutts were often used as operational managers while Whiphids were hired as bodyguards and enforcers. The actual mining was performed by slave labor acquired from all over the Outer Rim. Offworld's hold on the planet Bandomeer was broken after Xanatos infiltrated its leadership structure and took control after the death of Jemba the Hutt. It was part of a plan Xanatos had created to exact revenge on his former teacher, Qui-Gon Jinn, but the plan failed and control of Bandomeer was turned over to the Home Planet Party and Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation.
