Ore Processing Center Typically located at mining facilities, the Ore Processing Center functioned as a facility where unprocessed minerals were refined and melted into practical metals, most often durasteel. Mining droids or other individuals involved in the extraction of ore from mineral deposits transported carts filled with the valuable, unrefined metals to these centers.
In the 2001 Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds video game, along with its 2002 expansion pack, Ore Processing Centers are featured as buildings where resources are deposited.
