Sulphur Pits of Vulcar

The Sulphur Pits of Vulcar were sulfur pits^[1] located on the planet Vulcar that were mined for oridium deposits. The world's acrid atmosphere made employing humanoid workers barely cost-effective. As a result, Vulcar was primarily worked by droids of all types, including crab droids, reprogrammed to serve as miners until they froze up and rusted into scrap.^[2] In the year 15 BBY, an Intergalactic Droid Agency shuttle traveled to the Sulphur Pits of Vulcar^[3] after delivering the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO to the planet Dodz.^[1]
