Ore Processing Center The Ore Processing Center functioned as a facility where unrefined minerals were refined and melted down to produce practical metals, most often durasteel. Typically located at mining facilities, these structures received shipments of valuable, unprocessed metals delivered by mining droids or other mining personnel who extracted ore from the ground.
In the 2001 Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds video game, and its 2002 expansion pack, Ore Processing Centers are used as buildings where resources are deposited.
