Cloud Mountain mines

The Cloud Mountain mines were abandoned mines on Cloud Mountain used as a base of operations by the Cularin resistance. They were dug by Sunburst Mining, but proved unproductive and were therefore abandoned. Sunburst left some security droids to maintain their legal claim, however.

The entrance to the mines were three-quarters of the way up on Cloud Mountain's northern face, which had been clear-cut by Sunburst. The mine's opening was about three meters tall and six meters wide, and the blast doors which were once there had been removed. The mines went at least four kilometers deep, and had turbocarts to rapidly propel personnel or material from one end to the other. One area of the tunnel had collapsed beneath the turbocarts' magnetic rails, leaving the rails suspended over a 70-meter-deep pit for over a 100 meters of length.

Towards the end of Sunburst's mining, they tried drilling small holes randomly into the walls. They covered these up with meter-square plaques featuring the company's logo.
