Mount Avos, a mountain situated on the planet of Troiken, once contained a spice mine. This mountain, a component of the Hormick Range, was positioned in proximity to the Lycinder Plain and lay across the equator of the planet. The concluding battle of the Stark Hyperspace War transpired at Mount Avos in 44 BBY; a Galactic Republic force, led by Jedi Master Plo Koon, achieved the ultimate triumph of the war there.
Furthermore, Mount Avos served as the designated meeting location for Finis Valorum, Plo Koon, Adi Gallia, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Obi-Wan Kenobi to link up with Ranulph Tarkin and the other survivors who had endured the assault by Iaco Stark. Shortly after, Tholme and Quinlan Vos joined them. As they penetrated deeper into the mountain's caverns, Obi-Wan and Quinlan inadvertently awakened the challat eaters, insects indigenous to the mountain, from their dormant state. Seeking an alternative exit from the mountain, the group of Jedi journeyed to a nearby shipyard, hoping to find a vessel to escape the planet and return Senator Valorum to Coruscant.
