Tatooine

Tatooine is a planet within the Tatoo system in the Outer Rim Territories. Tatooine has two suns and three moons, the two suns are named Tatoo I and Tatoo II respectably. There is a 23 hour rotation cycle. The climate on the planet is arid, the terrain is a majority desert, but there are few oases that are scattered around the planet (water takes up less than 1% of the planets surface), the planet's northern hemisphere is the only inhabitable place on the entire planet.
Prior to Tatooine's current state, it was a lush planet filled with lush jungles and oceans. The Rakata's Infinite Empire glassed the planet when the Kumumgah rose up and drove the Rakata off world, caused by orbital bombardments. The oceans dried up and the planet was reduced from it's former beauty, following years of the silica combining with the soil broke up into sand. The planet was first settled around 4200 BBY.
The planet is known as being backwater planet, known for it's crime and illegal activities. The planet is currently "ran" by the Hutt Cartel, however both the Republic and Empire have small outposts on the planet. Anchrohead is one of the most "famous" settlements on the planet, notably for the Czerka Corporation's mining vision and it's Secret Weapons division, however their presence on the planet is currently null.
