The mining facility houses millions of Rarian slaves that are mostly comprises of elephant looking Rarians and a breed of Rarians most call Halflings, crossbreeds of other Rarian species, because of the dangers of working with revolt prone species the mining facility has its own mercenary garrison and their own patrol ships.
