Ghorfa

Ghorfa, less formally referred to as Sand People, Tusken Raiders, or simply as Tuskens, are a race of nomadic, primitive sentients indigenous to Tatooine, where they were often hostile to local settlers. The term Sand People was given to them due to their existence in the desert, and was in use from at least around 3000 years prior to the Ruusan Reformation; but the more formal name of Tusken Raiders was acquired much later, due to a period of concerted attacks on the settlement at Fort Tusken in 902-905 ARR. Although this name is often used as a common term for the race, it actually refers only to the participants of the attack on the settlement.
