*Tatooine, the principal planet in the star system of the same name, is a small desert world far from the center of activity in the galaxy. The twin suns, Tatoo I and II, reflect off the sand-covered world, making Tatooine appear as a third sun in the system. Sodium-rich sand and flat expanses of rock, dunes and cramped canyons — this is the landscape of the desert world. High, windswept oceans of sand spiral into the atmosphere, creating dangerous and frequent storms.<br />Dry, hot, and inhospitable, Tatooine nevertheless is inhabited by a wide variety of life, including womp rats, krayt dragons, and dewbacks. Banthas, transported here by early settlers, are also widespread.<br />Tatooine has two native species — small, skittery Jawas and tall, powerful Sand People. The scavenging Jawas quickly found a place in Tatooine society as traders, but the aggressive Sand People, also known as the Tusken Raiders, barely maintain an uneasy peace with the settlers.<br />Two communities are worth noting, as they are the nearest things to cities that Tatooine can boast. Anchorhead, located on the desert flats, is a slow-paced, moisture-farming town. The settlers come here to buy supplies, trade goods, and attain transport to Mos Eisley.<br />Mos Eisley, the largest city on Tatooine, hosts a major interstellar starport and a minor Imperial post. Many members of the galaxy's fringe society, such as smugglers, mercenaries, and bounty hunters, use Tatooine as a base because of its distance from the watchful eyes of the Empire and other galactic governments.<br />
