Dantooine

Dantooine is little more than a podunk in a backwards corner of the galaxy. It is about as far from the Core as you can get without entering the empty reaches of space where stars become rare, and habitable planets doubly so. Still, the world is highly hospitable to life, sporting broad grasslands and thick forests. This hospitality has lead to optimistic attempts to colonize the world, but none of them have stuck.
The world is now inhabited only by the native life-forms, and a few rugged individualists who enjoy living on the frontiers of inhabited space. Mostly farmers, traders and inn-keepers, the Dantooinan people are a hardy bunch, known for blasting first and asking questions later when off-worlders get smart. But, for all their ornery gristle, the planet does tend to attract Outer Rim travelers on their way to more important worlds like Paxo or Kessel-- and some smugglers or pirates have set up little dens and hideouts for when the heat is on them.
Dantooine has little pretensions to organized government. The locals get together and vote for a Mayor, who makes sure the rough and rowdy don't stomp on the local farmers. It costs 100 credits to register to vote, and the pirates and riff-raff who hang out on Dantooine don't bother putting in their credits-- after all, who really cares? Apparently the small-time Outer Rim engineer Vyrr Ijaz does-- as he presently maintains the Mayorship of this little planet after seizing it from a group of criminals affiliated with a local Hutt syndicate.
