The Pantrosian Eye served as a site for Galactic Empire tibanna gas mining activities. This endeavor boosted blaster manufacturing throughout the year that preceded 3 ABY. In that particular year, Rebel Alliance spies discovered the mining operation, subsequently alerting the Alliance High Command. Everi Chalis, an Imperial governor who had switched allegiance to the Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry, included the Pantrosian Eye operation on a diagram illustrating the Empire's military and industrial structure, intended for the company's captain, Micha Evon.
After Evon verified Chalis's data on the diagram with General Baccam Grafis of the High Command, he received confirmation that the mining operation had, in fact, been found a couple of weeks prior. Soon after this confirmation, Evon shared this information with First Sergeant Hazram Namir, displaying the schematic to the soldier.
Alexander Freed's 2015 novel, Battlefront: Twilight Company, featured a reference to the Pantrosian Eye.
