The Kesla Vein pumping station, situated in the modest town of Kesla Vein on the planet Nam Chorios, served as a water pumping facility. It was in this location, specifically in 44 ABY, that the Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker, alongside his son, the Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker, and their companion, the Sith apprentice Vestara Khai, had their first confront. They faced a contingent of Sith commanded by the Sith Saber Tola Annax, with both factions pursuing Abeloth, a being of the dark side who had gained dominion over the Force-sensitive native group, the Theran Listeners. Nevertheless, the Jedi managed to evade the conflict and pressed on with their quest to locate Abeloth.
