Pressy's Tumble was an artificial asteroid field in the Pressylla system. It was once a moon rich with ore, but because the ore was too deep to easily mine, the moon was destroyed by an explosives engineer. The largest moon fragment then served as a base for mining operations, which provided its materials to the First Order. The First Order stormtroopers were unaware of exactly what manner of ore was mined. Some thought it to be fuel or an ore used in starship shield generators. The miners were mostly aliens. Shortly before the attack on Tuanul village in Jakku, Captain Phasma suppressed a strike at the mining colony there.[1]
Behind the scenes
Pressy's Tumble first appeared in Before the Awakening, a junior novel written by Greg Rucka and published in 2015.[1]
