Separatist weapons factory (Abrion Major)

During the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Separatist had a weapons factory on the planet Abrion Major. It sat on the center island of an archipelago in the Western sea. On top of a granary complex, it was converted into a weapons factory by the War Faction of the Separatist in order to produce a new mega-ion cannon. Abrion Bridge was the only accessible route to the factory and was used to supply it. Around 22 BBY, the Republic launched an attack on the bridge in order to acquire the plans to the cannon. The Republic was successful in the battle but suffered heavy losses.
