Points of Interest[]
- Spice Mines of Kessel
- The Spice Mines of Kessel was a mining facility and labor camp located on the planet Kessel and were owned and operated by the Kessel Royal Family. The miners were slaves that were forced to work at the facility, mining a medicinal spice that would later be converted into a highly valuable narcotic. Ten years before the Battle of Yavin, a crew of space pirates led by Tobias Beckett, which included Han Solo, Qi'ra, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian journeyed to the spice mines in order to acquire large volumes of unrefined coaxium, which they had promised to their employer, Dryden Vos.
