Tatooine is a planet in the Star Wars universe. It is covered primarily in desert. Located in the Outer Rim territories, it is used by smugglers, pirates, and criminals as a safe haven.
Description
Tatooine is a harsh place to live. Aside from being mostly desert, it is controlled by the Hutts and their criminal organization. Illegal activities, such as smuggling, are commonplace among its collection of small outposts such as Mos Espa and Mos Eisley. Tatooine is also the home of two indigenous species: the trade centric Jawas, and the aggressive Tusken Raiders (also known as Sandpeople).
