Klegger Corp Mining Facility
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Klegger Corp Mining Facility was a mining facility on Mustafar built on the side of a mountain, overlooking a lava river. It was owned by Klegger Corp, which in turn served the interests of the Techno Union.

[edit] History
At a currently unknown time during the the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems constructed a droid factory inside a lava lake deep within the mountain. It remained a closely guarded secret, hidden and for an unknown reason unused until after the end of the Clone Wars, when Gizor Dellso, a Geonosian leader traveled to the planet to meet up with the rest of the Separatist leaders.
Toward the end of the Clone Wars, it served as the headquarters of the Separatist Council. The Council members were slain there at the hand of Darth Vader.
The facility was abandoned and almost destroyed when it was host to the violent duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi in 19 BBY. A while later, Gizor Dellso and his Geonosian warriors found the droid factory in the facility and reorganized the CIS. Eight years after the Clone Wars ended, Dellso re-activated a droid army for the Remnant. This was the final straw for the Empire.
Finding the other Separatist leaders dead at the hands of Darth Vader, Dellso eventually found the Droid Factory, activated it, and began producing a private army of battle droids. He also began work with other Geonosians on schematics for a prototype infantry droid.
The facility was eventually destroyed in the Battle of Mustafar when the stormtroopers of the Imperial 501st Legion were sent to Mustafar to crush Dellso's droid uprising. They broke through the Separatist blockade, and, after placing an orbital strike beacon at a strategic point of the base, excecuted a Base Delta Zero order, pounding the factory into molten slag.
Years later, the ruined complex would be replaced by the Mensix Mining Facility in operation during the Galactic Civil War.

- Mustafar mines (Star Wars: Complete Locations)
- Mustafar's mining complex (Star Wars: Complete Locations)
- an enormous cliff-side industrial facility (
Mustafar in the Databank)
- Klegger Corp's main plant (Star Wars Galaxies: Trials of Obi-Wan)
