Bier

Bier was an individual who lived during the waning decades of the Galactic Republic. He was a miner who worked for the Offworld Mining Corporation on an offshore mine on the planet Bandomeer in 44 BBY. While mapping the ocean floor of Bandomeer, his aquasuit's oxygen ran out. The warning timer on his aquasuit failed to warn him of his depleting supply because of high ionite concentration, and he died before he could make it it back to the tunnel. A week later, the Phindian miner Guerra Derida and another miner told the captured Jedi Agricultural Corps member Obi-Wan Kenobi of Bier's fate as a warning of the dangers of ionite mining.
