Tyber Zann inside the Kessel Prison Designated as both the Kessel prison and the Imperial Correctional Facility, this prison served as a holding place for individuals deemed a threat to the Galactic Empire. Subsequently, an uprising occurred, resulting in Moruth Doole, a Rybet and prison staff member, seizing control. Doole then compelled former Imperial guards to labor within the Kessel spice mines, utilizing ex-inmates as his personal security force.
During the assault on Kile II, Rebel Alliance pilot Wedge Antilles was downed and apprehended. His journey to the prison involved transport via armored hovertrain, but Rogue Squadron released him before he arrived.
When Han Solo and Chewbacca were on a diplomatic mission to Kessel, Doole captured them, forcing them to toil in the spice mine. With assistance from Kyp Durron, they successfully broke free.
