The Foundry was an engineering marvel that was built into a massive asteroid situated in a long-forgotten star system. It consisted of at least twelve manufacturing levels according to data obtained by Imperial Intelligence that were each capable of producing thousands of droids. A series of vast tunnels honeycombed the asteroid which suggested that automated mining droids were used to excavate the interior of any useful ores. It was believed by the Imperial Reclamation Service that the facility used a network of tractor beams to capture and break down nearby asteroids to provide new raw material for its endless mass production.[2]
This facility was believed to be at least twenty to thirty thousand years old and was built by a long forgotten alien species. The specifications matched those of three other space stations that had been discovered by the Sith Empire with all of these possessing tremendous power. These stations included the Star Forge and another facility that was capable of xenoforming entire worlds. The full extent of the production capabilities of the Foundry were unknown though it was believed it was able to change the entire galaxy.[2]
Revan was aware of the existence of the Foundry and kept that knowledge hidden from the Sith Emperor. After his freedom from the Maelstrom prison, he travelled to the facility where he intended to unleash an army of extermination droids against the Sith Empire to eliminate the threat posed by the Emperor.
