Kobola Spice Mine

OnALegendsArticle

"People from the surrounding cities have been disappearing without a trace. At first we though it was some wild creature, until we found someone who escaped from the mines. They told us how slaves are being forced to mine spice at blaster point!"
―A commoner, to a spacer[2]

The Kobola Spice Mine, also known as the Kobola Bunker, was a cave located on Naboo's moon of Rori. During the Galactic Civil War, the cave belonged to the Kobola Miners and was illegally mined for spice.[1] The Kobola Miners were a criminal organization that abducted travelers in the Naboo system and enslaved them yo do the mining work. That spice is then sold to the Hutts.[3] The Kobola Spice Mine was also used as a bunker by the Kobola Miners and was carefully guarded.[1] In 1 ABY,[4] a spacer managed to infiltrate the mine and stole a DE-10 blaster pistol.[5]

  4. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
