Mos Algo mine

Mos Algo mine was a phrik mine that setup of the town Mos Algo in the Western Dune Sea region of the desert planet Tatooine. The mine was originally developed by a group which included a land surveyor. After ninety two days, half of the group was dead supply ships were increasingly sparse and their rations were low. After 139 days the supply ships stopped showing up and the rest of the crew left leaving the land surveyor alone who decided to start a new life on the other side of the Dune Sea. The Mining Guild operated the mine for a while before it started facing diminishing returns and guild ended its operation which eventually led to the town being abandoned by 3 ABY.

In 3 ABY the Pyke Syndicate hired the scoundrel Kay Vess to get information on possible mining site as part of the syndicates plans to build a repulsor train on Tatooine. After getting a tip from an engineer in Bestine, Vess headed to Mos Algo to find the journal entries of the engineer's grandfather, the original land surveyor. While exploring the mine, Vess destroyed a rock blocking a passage way and found the head of a DUM-series pit droid behind a locked door.
