Mining Machines
this was the term used to describe the immense, self-contained settlements created on the planet Makem Te when the Congress of Caliphs opened the planet to offworld corporations. The Mining Machines were centered on deep, open mines, from which workers extracted valuable ores and raw spice. Most of the Mining Machines were built and maintained by the Old Republic, although many were badly damaged by the Temple of the Beatific Razor during the years just prior to the Clone Wars.
