Klegger Corp Mining Facility

The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

The Klegger Corp Mining Facility was a mining facility on Mustafar built on the side of a mountain, overlooking a lava river. It was owned by Klegger Corp, which in turn served the interests of the Techno Union.

HistoryEdit

At sometime during the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems constructed a droid factory inside a lava lake deep within the mountain. It remained a closely guarded secret, hidden and unused until after the end of the Clone Wars, when Gizor Dellso, a Geonosian leader traveled to the planet to convene with the rest of the Separatist leaders.

Toward the end of the Clone Wars, it served as the headquarters of the Separatist Council. The Council members were slain there at the hand of Darth Vader. The deaths of the Separatist Council transformed the area into a dark side nexus, similar to the Dark Side Cave of Dagobah.

The mining facility was abandoned and when it was host to the violent duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi in 19 BBY. For two months, it was not known what had happened to the members of the Separatist Council, as the new Emperor of the galaxy used the possibility of them still being alive as reason to continue bolstering the Imperial military's strength. A salvage team eventually traveled to the facility and found the remains of the Separatist leaders executed by Darth Vader. Gizor Dellso was present during the discovery of his leader, Poggle the Lesser's body. Gizor remained at the Droid foundry close to the Klegger Corp Mining facility, locating and re-activating a secret droid factory hidden within a mountain close to the complex and managing to countermand the droid deactivation signal which he helped create, to enable him to build a new droid army. He also began work with other Geonosians on schematics for a prototype infantry droid.

The facility was damaged in the Battle of Mustafar when the stormtroopers of the Imperial 501st Legion were sent to Mustafar to crush Dellso's droid uprising.

Years later, the complex would be replaced by the Mensix Mining Facility, built in the vicinity of the older complex, and was operational during the Galactic Civil War.
