Mokkotown, dating back to the start of the Imperial Era, was a run-down ipsium mining operation controlled by the crime lord Mokko. The mine extracted ipsium.
Situated on the desert planet of Ipsidon, Mokkotown functioned as a mining facility. During the time of the Clone Wars, the Techno Union managed the site for the purpose of extracting ipsium. However, after the war concluded, the Techno Union was ousted, and Mokko quickly seized control of the facility and its activities.
Mokko falsely asserted that the mine was facing difficulties in ipsium production. He misled his workers to secretly amass the mine's fortune and valuable assets, leaving his workers with barely enough food.
