 System: Tatoo
Position in System: 1st
Sector: Arkanis
Region: Outer RIm
Capital City: Bestine
Length of Day (std hrs): 23
Length of Year (local days): 304
Environment: Desert
Sentient Species: Jawa, Sandpeople
Other Species: Human The primary planet in the Tatoo system, this desert world was located in the Arkanis Sector of the Outer Rim Territories near Piroket and Ryloth, some 43,000 light-years from the galactic core. It was close enough to a major hyperspace nexus to make it easy to get to such worlds as Coruscant and Corellia, but its environment made it one of the most inhosptiable places in the galaxy. The planet's twin suns mercilessly heat the planet, keeping the sodium-rich deserts alive, and a trio of moons encircles the planet. Note that several sources are unsure exactly how many moons Tatooine has. Some say that the planet has a single, natural satellite, while others indicate two or more. Originally discovered more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, Tatooine was colonized in two distinct waves. Much of the original colonization was unable to survive the harsh environment, and only the city of Anchorhead survived until the modern era. About 1,000 years before the rise of the Empire, the Old Republic declared the planet "nominally habitable," but it was nearly 900 years later that the planet was settled again. These modern settlers arrived to colonize this first world in what was then called the J11.9 system. They coined the name Tatooine from the Jawa name for the planet, Tah doo Een e. The settlers established strongholds on the planet, and many smugglers and criminals have set up operational bases in its wastelands. Corellia Engineering even tried to establish mining operations on the planet, but it proved to be unusually lacking in valuable ores. The settlers there are primarily moisture farmers, extracting what little water they can from the atmosphere for survival. Its location on the galactic fringes makes it a perfect base for smugglers, mercenaries, and bounty hunters. The planet, despite its hostile ecology, supports human life was well as the native races of Jawas, krayt dragons, and Tusken Raiders. The planet's remote location appealed to Owen Lars and his wife Beru, and they lived there with Luke Skywalker for many years. Tatooine's average day lasts 23 standard hours, and its year consumes 304 local days. **Note that the Star Wars Journal: Anakin Skywalker claims Tatooine is located not only near several hyperspace routes, but also near other galaxies.

Voila! Let there be desert. :3 NOTE: Post your location in BOLD at the top of each post. Tatooine is rather large, and we don't want to be vague.

THe jolt from the hyperspace initioation was amazing, the speed they travled seemed impossible but he settled back with a datapad and began to study it. The first of many he had to read. He read quiclky and quietly as he sat there wanting to comit everything to memory.

Mos Eisley Spaceport
The ship descended into the atmosphere of the beautiful, wonderful, glorious planet Dackk used to call home. "This is Dackk Cashcot calling Mos Eisley spaceport requesting permission to land." "Ok Dackk let us clear you first. ... ... .. Alright docking bay 37 will do for you." "Thanks" "Welcome to Mos Eisley."
The descent was fast and took no time whatever. Dackk was bold in giving his name seeing as there is a bounty for him in another major city, Mos Espa. Though the ship wasn't registered to him so he figured he'd be fine. Plus the last time he was here he wasn't a member of the Sith.
He landed perfectly and hopped out as soon as the cockpit was open. He packed light and instructed his apprentice to do the same. "No datapads no backpacks. You'll only need your weapon for this."
He walked out of the docking bay not waiting for the boy.

Leaving Mos Eisley Spaceport into town
He ditched the datapad and jumped out after his master, walking quickly to catch up and saty just behind him. His weapon hung at his side as he walked, his damaged hand in his pocket as he walked, his other hung at his side waving freely. He stayed silent for a little bit,"May I ask where our meeting is to be?"

"We're not meeting anyone in particular actually. I need to get some information so we'll be stopping by the bar. Oh and watch your back there is a bounty out on my head." That was probably the most serious thing Dackk ever said.
He walked through the streets headed to the Cantina. A place where he knew some low lifes hungout at and he could very easily find out how the old gangster was doing. And also how things were with the Mos Espa police force. He had a few credits in his pocket so he could easily pay for info.

HE nodded his understanding of the situation and followed closely. HE looked around at the strage planet. The heat wasen't too bad and he quickly aclimated to the temperature diffrace, though he felt that days on KOrriban were hotter. He kept an eye out for any police potrol as well as looking at the strange species he had never seen in real life.

"You never got off of Korriban till today have you? Man you don't know what you were missing out on. It's a large galaxy."
He continued on and decided to take the long way around so the kid would get some idea of all the creatures that were nown to come here. And when they would get to the cantina he'd see even more of them. "Oh and when we get to the Cantina don't stare... you'll get shot.. or stabbed."

Mos Eisley Cantina
The music was blaring. The patrons were half drunk. The other patrons were smugglers, mercenaries, some bounty hunters, or freighter captains merely wanting a drink. It was quite a cozy spot if you were wanted. Generally no one bothered you here.
Dackk walked in and waved the boy elsewhere to find them a table and to not bother him. Dackk went on talking with one of the patrons at the bar. He looked to be a weequay. Dackk carried on in his natural tongue. A simple technique learned from the most basic of force powers was understanding any language that was tossed your way. Had Dackk been a normal human he might've just went on in galatic basic.

He did he was told and found an out of the way table, a waitress asked him if he wanted anything but he denied t. He sat there waiting for his master, his eyes closed going over the data pads information in his head. He had managed to read two and was glad he had a photographic memory to remember it. His mind wandered though to the trip here, while convineant it seemed to be quite uncomfortable, not because of the ship but because of the overall feeling of the travel process.

Dackk came to the table and ordered a drink. "There's no real information. They must be paid off or something. If I keep asking I'll draw unwanted attention." He smiled at that thought then took a sip from his drink as it was promptly sat upon the table in front of him. He looked his apprentice up and down then placed the drink down. He walked over to another patron speaking this time in some form of Twi'lek.
He came back to the table and sat down casually. "This isn't working." He stood up and bellowed, "Anyone in this lovely establishment know of the gangster near Mos Espa? I'm Dackk Cashcot ex policeman of the Mos Espa police force and I want to talk to him personally about my fathers death!" He sat back down and smiled at his apprentice.

He looked in shock, was he blending their stories together or did his master know something he wasen't letting on, a;though his master may of lost his father as well,"That may attract more attention than we want, then again it may get us where we want faster,"He said with a shrug. HE watched for any movement in their direction.

4 thugs got up from their perspective tables and moved their way. 3 more from Behind the apprentice and 2 more from Dackk's right. He smiled at the boy, "That's 9 you have to handle." Dackk waved his hand and continued sipping his drink then kicked his legs up.
"Don't forget to clean up afterwards," Dackk said that last one with a wink. Then leaned back and watched as the boy dealt with thier current problem.

He stood up and blew a pice of hair that had fallen from his spiked hair out of his eyes. HE smiled as he felt around for the approching nine. He placed his right hand firmly around the hilt of his vibroblade but would not draw it untill they were within striking distance. The three behind were closest and as they were upon him, an arms distance away, he quickly drew his vibroblade and slshed the three right across their guts. THey fell over bleeding on the floor and moaning in pain, one reached for a blaster but his quickly siled his hand, cutting the bone, and prevented it's usage.
He now turned his attention to the others which had formed a group of six. He willed a barstool up and into the crowd of men knocking two frontliners over into two behind them causing a domino effect. A twe'lik in the group dodged the seat and charged him, his vibroblade drawn as well. He slashed up, their swrds met and as he pulled around causing the man to stumble he kicked him over onto the ground and stabed him in the stomach.
The others now all charged him, he sheathed the vibroblade and prepared for hand to hand. As the first wave approched his ducked down and swung his leg ina circle tripping some but one man tacked him and they rolled wrestling acroos the floor. HE was pinned but was able to loose his vibro blade with the force and have it fly up and into the mans head. The warmblood trickled down onto Jaten's head as he pushed the man who he no relised was a fat human off and took the vibroblade from his head. The other men had stoped and backed off from him as he stood and faced him. He took a step forward and the men steped back,"Just go,"He said as he put the sword away. The men sat back down and Jaten returned to his master.
