ORO Mining Station LM0228 ORO Mining Station LM0228 was a fully - automated mine built by the Outer Rim Oreworks company in the planet Lamaredd of the LM0228 system and managed by the local ORO Administrator , initially Hugo Bartyn . Centuries after its creation , the little - checked mine was secretly encrouched upon by the Menahuun , a local sentient species who used the Station , known in Menahu language as Hua ' Bal , to prepare an open attack against Bartyn ' s inheritors . History . C . 529 BBY , Hugo Bartyn , an agent of Outer Rim Oreworks , claimed the planet Lamaredd in the LM0228 system , also known as Lamaro system , to be exploited for minerals . ORO named Bartyn the Administrator of their local interests and sent engineers and building droids to create their main mining installation , later known as ORO Mining Station LM0228 . They also made living rooms and several waste pipes that later threw the refuses in the north - western ocean . ORO then gave Bartyn several mining droids to excave the planetary crust . During all the construction , Hugo Bartyn and his companions hunted the local sentient species , known as Menahuun , until their assumed extinction . The Menahuun had instead migrated to a north - western part of the planet to survive the strikes and to prepare a reprisal . During his campaign , Bartyn had installed his main headquarters in the underground command center of the Mining Station . Erroneusly believing that he had destroyed the species , Bartyn permanently locked the doors of the mine ' s command center to keep out any scavenger . Bartyn then used the droids to create his own city , Bartyn ' s Landing , near the mine . It was to become a coastal town of fishermen , not affiliated to the mines . Meanwhile , Bartyn made good use of his resources so that ORO Mining Station LM0228 gave profits in record time — even if Bartyn kept a part of the money from the mine . Bartyn remained as the Administrator for the rest of his life , and he was succeeded by his descendants for five centuries . One of these , in c . 229 BBY , built a secret tunnel from the Bartyn mansion to the Mining Station , and installed a MMV security droid to protect it . In these centuries , the Bartyn family became owners of most of the property in the planet , although only because of ORO continued support , which only happened because ORO still received benefits from the mine . It was ORO ' s policy to periodically send inspectors to check the mines ; but the Bartyns had bribed several ORO officers to get rid of this neccessity . As such , the mine was fully automated with droids and nobody organic ever had the need to enter . C . 194 BBY , the Menahuun migrated south again because their new homeland had turned uninhabitable . While on the mountains , they coincidentially found a secret entrance to the mine and discovered the insides of the Mining Station . They also discovered that the mining droids were busy with their work and ignored the newcomers . The Menahuun then turned the mine into their new town , calling it " Hua ' Bal " , which meant " Hidden Glory " in Menahu . They also spent the time trying to learn about the alien technology . C . 36 BBY , Administrator Guther Bartyn , a descendant of Hugo , went close the mines while hunting in the mountains . The inhabitants of the mine reacted by shooting him with laser defenses . Bartyn escaped and erroneusly believed that a gang of outlaws was hiding in the mine . C . 29 BBY , the Menahuun revealed their existence to the inhabitants of Bartyn ' s Landing and achieved an amount of peace . Suddenly worried , Guther Bartyn closed the secret mine that connected the Mining Station with his home . Layout . There were three entrances to the Mine , aoround a former holotheater , plus an underwater tunnel leading to the sea and several water stream too narrow for a Human to swim . The control platform allowed to overlook all the mine , and it including a mining laser . There were several areas not thought for the mine , such as the fighting pit , the weapons testing range , the warehouse — including too little food in times of the Menahuun — and the greenhouse . The Menahuun organized several living areas where they built huts , and re - converted storage areas into dungeons . They also forbade all entrance to the lower part of the mine . The reactor core control room managed all the energy for the mine , but it was a very dangerous area to stay , particularly in violent conditions . Behind the scenes . ORO Mining Station LM0228 was created by writer Cory J . Herndon and featured in the article " Bartyn ' s Landing " and in the role - playing adventure " Reckonings " , both of them published in the magazine " Star Wars Gamer " # 7 ( 2001 ) . Alternate ending . The article assumes that the player characters of " Reckonings " achieve the best possible ending but , should they fail , the adventure offers an alternative path that takes place during an open war between the Menahuun and the citizens of Bartyn ' s Landing . In this situation , the Menahuun from Hua ' Bal repeatedly raid Bartyn ' s Landing and , as an answer , Guther Bartyn asks ORO for corporate shock troops to cleanse Hua ' Bal .
