Grand Mine of Commenor

The Grand Mine of Commenor was a network of gold, silver, iron, copper, salt, and chrysopaz mines located in a temperate mountain range on Commenor's northern hemisphere. The Grand Mine's contents were initially claimed by the Galactic Republic, who stored the Commenorians' resources in a private reserve for use by the entirety of the Republic. The Commenorians eventually gained sovereign control over the Grand Mine through diplomatic means, and used the Grand Mine and its bountiful contents solely for the Commenorian people. Dozens of sealed vaults lined the mountain ranges that stored thousands of tons of different raw resources which awaited transport to facilities elsewhere on Commenor, where they were processed and refined. During the Clone Wars, Hondo Ohnaka and his pirates attacked the Grand Mine and plundered multiple vaults, killing several security guards in the process. Upon the onset of the Imperial Period, the Galactic Empire forcefully seized control of the Grand Mine and its resources were once more distributed to other worlds under the Coruscant regime.
