Legend

this gas mining operation was established on the planet Peragus II many years before the Great Sith War. The independent miners of the colony supplied materiel to the Old Republic during the Sith War, until an explosion at the facility tore a huge hole in the planet's crust. Motlen lava spewed out of the hole and into space, where it froze in the vacuum and created a large chain of asteroids. Once the Peragus Mining Colony recovered from the disaster, they moved their operations to the orbiting asteroids. Five years after the destruction of the Star Forge and the death of Darth Malak, the Peragus Mining Colony was attacked by unknown forces. The miners were either killed outright, or died when they were treated with kolto that was heavily laced with sedatives. Investigation by the Jedi known as The Exile and HK-50 revealed that Darth Sion and his Sith devotees was behind the killings, which started after Darth Sion was reawakened. After The Exile and Kreia fled the system in the Ebon Hawk, Sion and his forces also fled the system. In their wake, they destroyed the Peragus Mining Colony and most of the asteroid on which it was located.
