Foundry Four
"Foundry Four makes starship components and armament to order. We'll even install it in our orbital yard."
―Lira Hardin Foundry Four, situated beneath the surface of the planet Xorrn, consisted of five separate underground droid factories built by the Geonosians and connected by a central command center. Each factory had two main shafts, one for bringing in raw materials and the other for sending out finished products. The shafts extended 400 meters down to a corvette-sized landing platform beside a large cargo-staging area. Above the factories stood a graveyard containing the gutted remains of several dozen Trade Federation core ships, remnants of the Clone Wars conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, after the Republic ordered its sector fleet to begin an orbital bombardment of the planet. West of the starship graveyard lay the crash site of a derelict Republic Venator-class Star Destroyer from the war's end. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the underground factories became the home of a group of Galls in exile who had brought their families and reopened Foundry Four under the leadership of Lira Hardin. There, Hardin and her engineers could quickly retool the assembly lines to produce small batches of replacement parts and starship armament to order. These were then used to refit civilian vessels in the Ferra Sector Shipyard in orbit and later by organizations such as the Rebel Alliance, pirates and mercenary groups.
