"Like all drawn in by the sparkle of gems, I wondered if perhaps the mining corporation had been too eager when establishing an outpost here."
―Kenobi mentions the corporation while writing in his journal[1]

A mining corporation established a outpost on the planet Codia I's second moon.

History

A mining corporation established a outpost on the planet Codia I's second moon in order to mine diamonds from the massive deposits found on the tidally locked moon's brighter side.[1] Between 41 BBY and 32 BBY[2] a group of burglars destroyed the outpost's power core using a non-incendiary photonic charge while trying to steal a shipment of diamonds. The photonic burst reacted with the primarily accelerite core and cause unusual radioactivity that suppressed the entire light spectrum within the outpost.[1]

Most of the corporation's miners were evacuated to the barracks, but the Defel miner Rosack Denahst was particularly sensitive to the radiation and was driven into a frenzy, killing atleast five of the burglars after the thieves murdered five other miners. The Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent to investigate the darkened outpost, and although Kenobi initially suspected that the corporation may have been too hasty in building an outpost in an unsafe area, the pair were ultimately able to uncover what had happened and repair the core, restoring ligh tot the outpost and Denahst's sanity.[1] In around 0 BBY,[3] Kenobi would reflect on the incident and wrote about the corporation in his journals while sheltering in his home on the planet Tatooine during a sandstorm.[1]

Behind the scenes

The mining corporation was created for the second issue of the Star Wars: Obi-Wan comic series which was written by Christopher Cantwell, illustrated by Luke Ross,[1] and published on June 29, 2022.[4]

  2. ↑ In the flashbacks seen in Obi-Wan 2, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn go on a mission. Padawan depicts Kenobi's first mission, and since Obi-Wan 2 depicts a different mission, it must take place after. As Jinn is still alive in the flashback, it must take place before his death. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the novel to 41 BBY and Jinn's death to 32 BBY, the flashback must take place between those two years.
  3. ↑ StarWars.com A Tale from Obi-Wan's Youngling Days and More from Marvel's May 2022 Star Wars Comics – Exclusive Preview on StarWars.com (backup link) establishes that Star Wars: Obi-Wan takes place during Obi-Wan Kenobi's final days on Tatooine, and since him leaving Tatooine and his death in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope are dated to 0 BBY in Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, Obi-Wan 2 must take place around the same year.
