• Mine Name:
  • Priddy General Engineering And Manufacturing Resource Extraction and semi-Autonomous Production Plant-02
• Material:
  • Low Quantities of common minerals,
  • Rutile
  • Hematite
  • Carbonic Crystals
  • Iron
  • Ferrocarbon
  • Titanium
• Location: Lohopa II
• Affiliation: Niki Priddy, Priddy General Engineering And Manufacturing
• Size: Massive
• Population: Moderately Staffed with the Foundry being Automated
• Profit: Medium
• Accessibility: While easily and readily visible from even a basic scan, there are seldom few spots with which to make landfall without the threat of counter-detection or being at the mercy of the weapon emplacements guarding the facility. The facility is based directly adjacent to a mountainside, meaning it is readily accessible to even larger craft given the relatively flat surroundings if they are invited. The location is relatively remote and requires dedicated transportation across the planet's surface provided to PGEM employees.
• Description: What most would consider an eyesore when they first catch sight of the exterior. The various buildings make an awkward cutout of the mountain backdrop with some seeming to blend in with the ground while other structures attempt a poor effort in trying to stab at the sky. A security fence rings the outermost perimeter of the facility with a guard patrol on watch to deter anyone from attempting entry. At ground level, most views from this fence line area provide nothing of value for information aside from when a shipment is leaving.
  
  An aerial view gives someone a strange prize for their efforts. A well worn path between the string of buildings, and just how many buildings are at the base of the mountain. All pointing towards a large opening at the foot of said mountain where a groundcrawler and conveyor system can sometimes be seen at the same time. The only other readily visible feature is the presence of a cargo ship just inside a smaller offset landing pad.

The Crucible- The exterior of the mine layout is designed in such a way to make storage of large quantities of either refined or raw material more accessible for transportation. Buildings appear to be scattered in the interior of the surface facility without planning but are actually a loose, sprawling pattern across the surrounding landscape for workflow efficiency. The layout was also shown to keep a higher grade of air quality present around both the mine itself, and the foundry systems. While the planet maintains a breathable atmosphere, the potential exhaust from the refining of titanium was a worrisome thing. Fitting the emergency exhaust systems with Atmospheric Scrubber systems to purify any harmful pollutants that escape from being released into the atmosphere and surrounding environment.

All of the buildings house various operations for sorting, testing, and refining the raw minerals extracted from the depths of the mountain. The site’s layout ensures smooth workflows while maintaining a high level of accessibility and efficiency during the transfer of materials between the buildings. After finishing their respective process, the materials are placed into secure cargo containers which are carefully stored and kept within secure areas. Being heavily monitored, with security measures in place to prevent unauthorized access to ensure that the valuable materials are safely kept to be transported to their next destination.

The Mines- Within the mountain, vast tunnels and shafts connect to various mining chambers, where valuable minerals are extracted with precision and care. Through a combination of mining methods aided with the use of Ugraded Beamdrills and Molecular Sifters, ores and crystals are brought out via Groundcrawlers for the deeper areas with some closer mining chambers being equipped with Repulsorlift Conveyors to expedite both sifting, and transport. This process is to expedite both extraction and collection. Once the materials are retrieved, they are transported by either method to the exterior of the mountain, where the smelting and foundry operations take place.

Medical Wing- The site is designed for both efficiency and safety, featuring a state-of-the-art medical facility to handle any accidents or emergencies that may arise, ensuring the well-being of all personnel working in this demanding environment. Despite the best efforts to create a safe work environment, accidents happen. And by having a dedicated medical building on site that is furnished, and restocked frequently for those working in the facility; It removes the need to wait on external emergency services to arrive in a timely manner.

Security Rating: High

• GPO-11 "Gildenwall" DRM System | "Greedshield DRM" paired with a GPO-12 "Ironmaze" Threat-Prevention Suite to secure not only their payment systems but also their holonet connection and internal security.
• X13 Paladin-series Synthmarines - Patrol interior of the facility with an organic partner, others await summons from the logistics area for conflict resolution. Serve as a backup for the organic security teams against intrusions.
• Holocam's - Both interior and exterior, holocams are present to keep a watchful eye on everyone and everything happening within the facility.
• Blaster Neutralizers - Assist in keeping accidental misfires on the production floor from happening, and incidents inside the main building from taking place.
• LS-1 'Ordinator' Security Pylons - Set on the perimeter of the facility for security purposes.
• Priddy Hypervelocity Cannons - Six are arranged astride buildings and lookout towers to ward off unsavory characters but are also largely to keep unauthorized vessels from landing. Housed in blister style canopies to blend in with the architecture.
• Laser Point Defense Cannons - Twelve of these point defense cannons reside atop the platforms to further aid in protecting the facility from attacks as dedicated anti-starfighter and anti-ordinance protection.
• DSS-02 Shield Generator - Three used to protect the entire facility from any type of outside threat.
• Gravity Locks - Are present on the material staging areas to keep awaiting cargo ships from being taken by intruders or other unsavory folk.
• Hedeek-class Intermodal Cargo Containers - Used to transport finished products or raw materials as a standardized system to make loading and unloading of PGEM vessels streamlined.

Aside from the obvious points of security, proper employee Identification is required at all times as the droids that patrol the interior are hyper-strict in their security patrols. Paired with an organic security contractor, the typically unforgiving nature of the droids has been tempered due to the requirements of the contractual agreement between PGEM and RNR. Utilizing stun weapons over the typical blaster weapons that the droids are still equipped with in accordance with the Royal Naboo Republic Contract. Both droid and organic make scheduled patrols and check in often while on duty to ensure that strict security measures are enforced at all times.

With the added need to mass produce equipment for their subsidiary company along with the need to centralize production operations, PGEM made a move to purchase land to facilitate material needs closer to the growing centralized system Priddy General Engineering And Manufacturing were beginning to create in the Seswenna Sector. Purchasing land to build a mining and smelting facility on a world that was already prepared for such purposes. Purchasing a surveyed piece of land from the locals, Priddy General Engineering And Manufacturing secured mining rights on the planet and began to expand their operations through a dedicated mine. The plan being to provide more readily available raw materials for the production facilities already present, and those planned for the nearing future.

The mining site is a massive, high-security facility nestled into the base of a mountain range, where the mining operation is intricately carved deep inside the mountain itself. The site is designed for both efficiency and safety, featuring a state-of-the-art medical facility to handle any accidents or emergencies that may arise, ensuring the well-being of all personnel working in this demanding environment. With the facilities on Queyta at arm's length, as well as having been inaccessible to PGEM prior, this further prompted the company to diversify their facilities rather than solely rely on a single area for production.
