- Mine Name: Kalleon Mining Facility
- Material: Minerals, metal ores, Dolovite, Energy Crystals
- Location: Mustafar
- Affiliation: HumSec Consortium through tertiary shell corporations.
- Size: Massive.
- Population: Heavily Staffed.
- Profit: Medium
- Accessibility: The Kalleon Mining Facility is privately-owned and hence its access is restricted to corporate personnel. That being said, it has all the necessary permits and is registered with the various mining guilds operating in the Atravis sector. Its location is therefore not a secret and is registered in the public records. Actually reaching it is a different story, of course. The structure is located within the fluid mass of Mustafar's surface. Ships need proper shielding and personnel should wear special suits outside of the perimeter at all times. The facility's sensory equipment keep track of any incoming traffic. Corporate access codes are required for docking permissions.
- Description: One of the many mining facilities currently operating on Mustafar's surface. A constant flurry of activity can be witnessed from an aerial view. Cargo ships docking and leaving, transports exiting the large facility, bulk of machinery constantly whirring as it delves deep into the lava oceans of Mustafar. By all accounts the Kalleon Mining Facility is nothing more than a standardized corporate creation of greed. Few things are what they seem however. If one delves deep into the accounts of the location, comparing it to their official books and the actual traffic that is bound for trade worlds? One soon realizes that most of the ore being delved by the facility does not actually exit the place. At least, not through the official cargo haulers contracted by the firm. In reality the Kalleon Mining Facility is a foothold of the Humbarine Office of Naval Intelligence. It serves as the nerve center of Humbarine's spying apparatus throughout the sector, its resources being directly used to expand operations further across Mustafar and beyond.
- Bays: While most operate solely as automated cargo transfer, a handful of inner bays are in reality extensive shipyard docks. These are capable of producing and repairing sub-capital starships. Of course, military equipment being produced right on top of the Mustafarians would be an issue. It is no wonder that access to these inner bays is heavily restricted.
- Training areas: Military-grade facilities that can simulate null-grav and other environmental hazards to assist with soldiers-in-training.
- Entertainment halls: Outfitted with extensive recreational zones for its guests and personnel.
- Arboretum: Artificially created gardens closer to the surface of the facility. These double as an additional supply of fresh produce for personnel that operate here for longer periods of time.
- Listening Post: The nerve center and actual reason for the facility's existence. Geared with the latest sensory and slicing equipment it has everything Humbarine Intelligence might need to do its job.

After the fall of the First Order chaos spread through its former territories.
In its wake the Outer Planets Alliance solidified as the primary voice of power in the regions. This presented a problem to some people. See, the OPA was rather chaotic. A merryband of misfits and miscreants passing for a functional organization. Those that were sympathetic to the First Order suddenly found themselves without a prominent host. Allied ports, safe havens, docking bays, they were suddenly rather frigid to any Imperial-affiliated ship.
These people were concerned about that.
Intelligence always finds a way, however. A solid stream of income was diverted once it became clear that the Sith Empire had solidified its flank with the scattering of the Mandalorian Clans. Instead a shell company was formed. Tacit ties to several Core-affiliated interests allowed it to move forward with little monetary concern. A plot of land was bought on Mustafar. Mineral rights, mining permits, refinement allowances. Everything legal and above board.
Throughout the years the Kalleon Mining Facility grew in its scope.
From a single mining platform to a whole range of mining, refining and construction installations. Taxes were paid, tariffs paid off, and the Facility was profitable. Not very profitable, strangely enough. But plenty to have a reason to keep existing.
As the years went by more and more personnel were contracted.
Security tightened, since the firm became increasingly more valuable. All the while quietly the information gathering was refined as well. They operated in darkmode for now. Gathering, storing and logging, while preparing for ... something. Maybe that day would never come. If it did however?
They'd be ready.
