Description:
Tatooine is a desert world in a binary star system (the two suns are named Tatoo I & Tatoo II), inhabited by poor locals who mostly farm moisture for a living. The planet has been the site of repeated and failed attempts at colonization. During the prequel-era, it was ruled for a long period by the Hutts, being beyond the reach of the Galactic Republic. After the fall of the Republic, the Galactic Empire established a token presence on Tatooine, but the crime lord Jabba the Hutt still retained de facto control of the planet. Notable geological features include the Dune Sea, an enormous desert, and the Jundland Wastes, a rocky region. Despite the planet's extreme aridity, some forms of life do thrive on Tatooine, including the rodent-like womp rat, elephant-like bantha, and the enormous, fearsome krayt dragon.

Tatooine is also home to two apparently native sentient bipedal species: Jawas, pygmy-like mechanical scavengers, and Tusken Raiders, also known as Sand People, who are mysterious, reclusive, and extremely hostile to outsiders. Both races wear fully-concealing robes that keep their true forms hidden from outsiders (It's stated in the Expanded Universe that Jawas are rodent-like, and it is vaguely hinted that the Jawas and Sand People share a common ancestor).

Tatooine was once a member world of the pre-Republic Infinite Empire. It once had large oceans and a world-spanning jungle. This biosphere was destroyed by an orbital bombardment by the Rakata that "glassed" (that is, fused the silica in the soil into glass, which then broke up over time into sand) the planet and boiled its oceans away.

((boo!))

Aama watched the red and orange hued twi'lik from the shadows of the door she was standing against.

So this was Ranmari's daughter...

She knew alot about Tamarai, ever since she had met her mother in the streets and found that her daughter was a Jedi as well. Ranmari had been certain her daughter would visit her soon and sure enough, here she was.

Aama hesitated for a moment, then gathered her resolve and ran out from the doorway and grabbed Tamarai's arm.

"Come along sister Tamarai dear...Mother wants to see you!" she said in a voice higher pitched than her own. It almost made her wince, the cheery sound of it. She pulled the other twi'lik away from the crowds, "I do know your mother...please don't speak until we are in private," she whispered under her breath.

She sat down and shifted in the chair. "My name is Aama...Aama Vertana. I'm the same age as you, well a few months older since I'm already nineteen and your birthday is still three months away..." She noticed a strange look on Tamarai's face and raised a hand to stop her from speaking.

"You should know, I know alot about you from your mother. When my Master perished she took me in." Aama smiled faintly, "She loves you very much you know."

Ranmari interupted as she brought some chilled food to the table from behind the curtained off niche that was the kitchen. "Of course I love Tammy, but she knows that." The older twi'lik kissed her daughter lightly on the top of her left lekku and then sat down herself.

"Aama is a Jedi like you Tamarai, except she was trained apart from the Order." Her mother answered the question Tamarai had been about to ask.

"All I want are answers. When your mother told me you were a Jedi, and that you would be coming to visit soon I wanted to make sure I caught you." Aama drew herself up alittle in her chair. "I want to come with you back to the academy."

Adaha's starfighter had seen better days as he smashed into the surface of the desert planet. He managed to get out safely, and his droid, luckily was still off training with a boy from the academy. Adaha gathered some parts from the ship and headed off towards a small dot on the horizon.

Adahaft the cantina and went back to his ship, finding no help in the area. He repaired the ship to his best ability, which would make it back to Hoth, but no further. He took off, and his ship was in poor shape.

Qurazy arrives and locates many force users on the planet. Perhaps he could train one if it succumbed to the darkside. He headed over to mos aisley customs to work on his a-wing

He installed homing missles, sonic charges, tow cables, ion cannons, bass boost, R2 unit and ludacris speed capabillity. How did he afford it? He stole it. He used to work as a mechanic and had no trouble installing the parts.

Qurazy returns and buys a drink at the cantina.
