In 2063 the facility was attacked by a group of Silicates who killed 9 of the 10 miners in an attempt to steal the Helium-3 extracted at the mine. A security detachment from the 58th Squadron, sent to protect the facility and its shipments for Earth Forces use, landed at the facility after the Silicates had taken control. The Wild Cards were eventually able to defeat the Silicates and regain control of the facility.[2]
