The Foundry, a chromium mining location situated on Burnin Konn, was said to be constructed atop the most abundant ore deposit on the entire planet. By the era of the Iron Blockade, it had either vanished from awareness or ceased operations. Nevertheless, a few months following the commencement of the blockade, the Uprising became aware of the site and aimed to control it before any other entity. Their objective was to acquire the financial resources required to initiate a full-scale, armed revolt against the Galactic Empire.
