Mining machine

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A mining machine was a large device used for mining that consisted of storage areas for drillers and labyrinthine quarters for miners. The devices created vast, deep, semi-circular pits from their activities. Several mining machines operated on the Swokes Swokes homeworld Makem Te. These were built by the Galactic Republic and later operated by the Empire. The galactic government, the Congress of Caliphs, took a portion of all profits from the devices.
