- "The other encouraging news is that in barely an hour here, you've managed to rack up ten degrades. Fortin, you are aware, aren't you, that fifty gets you kicked out?"
"They didn't tell me that, sir. They didn't even tell me what a degrade was."
"We don't tell you everything. You're expected to find things out for yourself. And if you're thinking that getting kicked out isn't such a bad thing, let me explain. You don't get to leave. You get to go to the Mining Corps and serve out your time there. So if I were you, I'd follow the rules." - ―Maggis and Fortin
The Mining Corps was a branch of the Galactic Empire that was formed in response to the need for raw materials and natural resources for the Empire's vast manufacturing ventures. Laborers of the Mining Corps originated from many sources, including slaves and individuals that failed in the Imperial Academy.
