Nestled comfortably in the outer rim, the grassy world of Dantooine is a beautiful, human-colonized planet with flowing rivers, rolling hills and mysterious caverns.
Beneath the surface, the planet's porous crust is literally riddled with Crystal Caverns, each one filled with naturally occuring gems and crystals of varying rarities and qualities. This makes Dantooine's cavern systems an ample supply line for lightsaber crystals.
The skies are patrolled by enormous, Ray-like creatures that are a distant cousin of the Thranta of Bespin and Alderaan. These gentle giants are considered a natural wonder, and are protected by law.
The primary city of this world is Khoonda, a sprawling metropolis of trade and agriculture with a sizable spaceport. Thousands of years in the past, a Jedi hero saved Khoonda from the incursion of a Mercenary Army, allowing it to grow to the pleasant city is is today.
Near Khoonda, an ancient series of ruins have been preserved for posterity: The Jedi Enclave, destroyed twice during the Sith and Mandalorian Wars, and left to decay ever since. The immense, domed structure has since been turned into a museum to honor the hundreds of Jedi who fell in Dantooine's defense.
The vast, sprawling grasslands of Dantooine are inhabited by two particularly vicious forms of predator: Kinrath and Kath Hounds. Kath Hounds are a formed of immense, horned canine. They hunt in packs and present a threat only in sufficent numbers to surround prey.
Kinrath, on the other hand, are vastly more dangerous. These hive-dwelling arachnids are blind, but hunt by sound, and pack a two foot long, venom-packed piercing extremity which can puncture organs with devastating accuracy. They should be avoided at all cost, and extermination bounties are available at a hundred republic credits per Kinrath.
On a side note, Kinrath scent glands can be carried on one's person to "blind" Kinraths to your scent. They use scent to identify prey, and sound to track them.
Cities Of Note: Khoonda.
Sentient Species Of Note: Dantooine is a human-colonized rim world sharing a solar system with Tatooine. Only one of the two suns can be seen clearly from Dantooine, and this makes it a much more pleasant world for all species involved. A fairly large number of Sullustans and Twi'Leks also make their homes here, primarily in Khoonda's trade district.
Non-Sentient Species of Note: Kath Hounds and Kinrath.
