Wadi Raffa Turlin/Benthic Extraction settlement

The mining company Turlin/Benthic Extraction had a settlement on Wadi Raffa. Due to Wadi Raffa's status as a Legacy world, the settlement was temporary and only allowed Turlin/Benthic to engage in limited undersea mining operations. The settlement received cargo for the operation and would deliver it to the mining platforms via boat. The settlement had a rotating crew of a couple hundred personnel, while the mining platforms themselves were crewed mostly by droids and a few living pilots to operate hydraulic pumps that extracted valuable minerals, including doonium, dolovite, meleenium, and kammris. Eventually, the Galactic Empire engaged in a plot to frame Turlin/Benthic for receiving illegally-trafficked Separatist weapons so they could overtake their operations. The Empire would seize the settlement and the mining platforms before beginning their own operations.
