==Overview==
==Overview==
Tatooine is a remote planet in the Outer Rim of the Galaxy. Having two suns and a harsh sandy environment, this planet has been known to many as a hive of "scum and villainy", and was often the favorite place for pirates, mercs and adventurers. Having only a few cities in relatively cool regions, the planet boasts a rich native fauna, which includes Banthas, Womprats, Eopis and ferocious Krate Dragons. The planet also has two native peoples - Tusken Raiders and Jawas. While the first are often aggressive and would attack on sight any outlander they encounter, the latter are mostly friendly and often dwell near the spaceports and market areas of Tatooine.
The Old Republic and the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]] that supplanted it paid very little attention to the remote planet Tatooine. Ironically, beings that called this dusty world home would be influential in bringing down both galactic governments.


The planet is also known for having a community of moisture farmers, scattered around the planet, as well as for a large pod racing track. The Hutt Cartel also has a strong presence on Tatooine with Jabba the Hutt being the most notorious Crime Lord even outside Tatooine, who until Battle of Endor ruled the place from his leisure Palace near the Dune Sea.
Tatooine rests in the distant Outer Rim, beyond the reaches of Republic and Imperial law. Even the Trade Federation lacked a presence on the desert planet. Poor, with very little industry to boast, Tatooine is a mixture of hard-working locals attempting to extract a living from the unforgiving environment and transients visiting the world for illegal ventures. Tatooine is controlled by the Hutt Clan, and its shady operations bring many spacers, bounty hunters, thieves and other malcontents to the planet's few port cities.


==In Jedi Academy==
Tatooine has a seemingly endless desert environment cooked by the intense energy of twin yellow suns. Rocky mesas, canyons and arroyos break up the monotony of kilometers of shifting dunes. The days are hot and the nights are frigid. The air is dry and the soil is parched. Yet life persists on Tatooine, in varied, hardy forms. Indigenous sentient life includes the scavenging [[Jawa]]s and the fearsome [[Tusken Raider]]s. Creatures found roaming the desert include banthas, rontos, dewbacks, scurriers, womp rats, krayt dragons and eopies.
Tatooine appears for the first time in Jedi Academy game. [[Jaden Korr]], the protagonist has the option of visiting this planet twice, first dealing with the [[Tusken raider|Tusken raiders]] in the canyon with stuck Jawa crawler. Initially the young Jedi has to meet up with a trader, who has the information on the [[Disciples of Ragnos]] cult, but fearing for his life he sold his R5 unit with this data to Jawas.


Jaden returns to Tatooine again, when he has to deal with multiple thugs in the spaceport of Mos Eisley. In this mission he is accompanied by [[Kyle Katarn]], who starts investigation of his own. Meanwhile Jaden meets Chewbacca, also stuck in Mos Eisley (presumably with Han on a mission from princess Leia), with whom they repel the attack of mercenaries. A Sith Cultist was also present in this location.
Sporadic colonization attempts have resulted in scattered communities separated by vast gulfs of wilderness. On the edge of the Dune Sea is Mos Eisley, arguably Tatooine's busiest port during the time of the Empire. Not too far away are Mos Espa and Anchorhead.


==In mods==
If not involved in Hutt business, most colonists on the planet eke out a meager existence as moisture farmers. Small homesteads employ devices called moisture vaporators to tug what little water vapor is suspended in Tatooine's air. This moisture is then used to irrigate underground crops or is sold directly to interested parties.
Tatooine is featured in many modifications, made for JO and JA, including such notable works as [[Nina mod]], [[Crash on Tatooine]] and [[KOTF]] among many others. Quite often these include familiar places like Boonta Eve Podrace tribune or Mos Eisley cantina, while some introduce something new like [[Mos Kreetle]] in [[Jedi Knight Galaxies]].


==Maps==
==Jedi Knight series==
The first maps with Tatooine were created for Jedi Outcast long before the JA texture pack was ever released. Most of these were made for Multiplayer, like the Anchorhed spaceport and Mos Eisley cantina. Some levels were included into Single Player campaigns as well.
Tatooine appears for the first time in ''[[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]''.

Tatooine is a remote desert planet located in the Outer Rim. It was originally introduced in the film Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. In Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, the player is offered the chance to complete two missions on this planet.

Overview

The Old Republic and the Empire that supplanted it paid very little attention to the remote planet Tatooine. Ironically, beings that called this dusty world home would be influential in bringing down both galactic governments.

Tatooine rests in the distant Outer Rim, beyond the reaches of Republic and Imperial law. Even the Trade Federation lacked a presence on the desert planet. Poor, with very little industry to boast, Tatooine is a mixture of hard-working locals attempting to extract a living from the unforgiving environment and transients visiting the world for illegal ventures. Tatooine is controlled by the Hutt Clan, and its shady operations bring many spacers, bounty hunters, thieves and other malcontents to the planet's few port cities.

Tatooine has a seemingly endless desert environment cooked by the intense energy of twin yellow suns. Rocky mesas, canyons and arroyos break up the monotony of kilometers of shifting dunes. The days are hot and the nights are frigid. The air is dry and the soil is parched. Yet life persists on Tatooine, in varied, hardy forms. Indigenous sentient life includes the scavenging Jawas and the fearsome Tusken Raiders. Creatures found roaming the desert include banthas, rontos, dewbacks, scurriers, womp rats, krayt dragons and eopies.

Sporadic colonization attempts have resulted in scattered communities separated by vast gulfs of wilderness. On the edge of the Dune Sea is Mos Eisley, arguably Tatooine's busiest port during the time of the Empire. Not too far away are Mos Espa and Anchorhead.

If not involved in Hutt business, most colonists on the planet eke out a meager existence as moisture farmers. Small homesteads employ devices called moisture vaporators to tug what little water vapor is suspended in Tatooine's air. This moisture is then used to irrigate underground crops or is sold directly to interested parties.

Jedi Knight series

Tatooine appears for the first time in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.
