Dredger Gorge

Dredger Gorge was a location on the Outer Rim planet Koboh. It was a winding canyon with steep rises and drops. During the busiest era on Koboh, it was a favorite priorite prospecting location for the local mining population. By 9 BBY, however, the gorge's crevices were filled with rusting machinery and stalked by territorial fauna, such as goroccos.

Long before Koboh was first settled by prospectors, the gorge contained vast and numerous tar pits. As prospectors sought valuable priorite to sell, they constructed rudimentary dams and reservoirs to funnel tar away from potential prospecting sites. By 9 BBY, the gorge was largely abandoned. Left to ruins, a dam in the gorge burst, causing several tar pits to form, which eventually took the lives of at least one Koboh prospector. The destruction of some of the dams may have been deliberate, however, as there was evidence of sabotage on at least one. The gorge also was largely claimed by the Bedlam Raiders, a group of marauders from Koboh, led by the Gen'Dai warrior Rayvis.
