The Corellia Mining Corporation was a mining company from the planet Corellia that produced sandcrawlers and the Terrapin-class Bulk Tanker "Turtle Tanker". A number of the corporation's sandcrawlers were brought to the desert planet Tatooine during a mining boom, where they were later abandoned and taken over by Jawa clans[1] at some point prior to 22 BBY.[2]
