The Miner's Union Hall, situated in Elesa, the capital city of Ando Prime, functioned as an administrative center prior to 27 BBY. It served as the headquarters for the Elesa Mining Union, then under the leadership of Geon Justic.
Ree, once a podracer but later an associate in criminal activities, went to the Union Hall to connect with Justic and offer a bribe. Shortly after, individuals who were following Ree and his superior, the crime lord Kaeline Ungasan, came into the Hall and inquired of Justic regarding the meeting that had occurred previously. Following the arrival of a fourth group of visitors, Justic made the determination to depart for a holiday.
