==Overview==
==Overview==
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.
Having two suns and a harsh sandy environment, the planet has been known to many as a hive of "scum and villainy", and was often the favorite place for pirates, mercenaries and smugglers. Having only a few cities in relatively cool regions, the planet boasts a rich native fauna, which includes banthas, dewbacks, rontos, womprats, eopies and ferocious krayt dragons. The planet also has two native peoples - [[Tusken Raider]]s and [[Jawa]]s. 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.


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.
The planet is also known for having a community of moisture farmers scattered around the planet, as well as a large podracing track. The Hutt Clan also has a strong presence on Tatooine, with Jabba the Hutt being its most notorious crime lord, who until Battle of Endor ruled the place from his leisure palace.
 
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.
 
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.
