Tatoo System

The Tatoo system, sometimes referred to as the Tatooine system, is a binary stellar system located in the Arkanis sector on the Outer Rim Territories. It is a twin-sun system with central stars identified as Tatoo I and Tatoo II (also referred to as G1 and G2) The system boasts three planets: Tatooine, Ohann and Adriana. Tatooine has three natural satellites identified as Ghomrassen, Guermessa and Chenini. Ohann has three unnamed moons while Adriana has four unnamed moons. The Tatoo system has been predominately dominated by the Hutts and their crime cartels, which lorded over the varying hyperspace trade routes including the Triellus Trade Route, also known as "Hutt Highway", which connected the Sisar Run with the Outer Rim Territories. There was the Crystal Passage, which originated on Tatooine and intersected the Triellus Trade Route and the Old Corellian Run. The Old Corellian Run, which originally spanned between Tatooine and Geonosis extended all the way to Ryloth in the Gaulus sector.

There are very few races that are indiginous to the Tatoo system, all of which live or have lived on Tatooine. The earliest known race of sentients were a technologically advanced species known as the Kumumgah. Due to the actions of the amphibious Rakata, the Kumumgah suffered a radical change to their enviroment and society, eventually splitting off into two distinct sub-species. One species evolved into a race known as Jawas. The other, the Ghorfa, evolved into the savage Tusken Raiders.

History
During the time of the Old Republic, there was very little interest in colonizing or expanding Republic law to the Tatoo system. As such, planets within the system were dominated by criminal enterprises, mostly controlled by the Hutts. Slavery was a common practice on Hutt-controlled worlds and crime lords purchased and sold human merchandise as easily as they would sell a landspeeder. There were many slave settlements located on Tatooine, particularly in heavy population centers such as Mos Espa.

During the rise of the Galactic Empire under Emperor Palpatine, a moderate Imperial presence was established in the Tatoo system, but Palpatine was careful not to do anything that might destabilize the Hutts and their business networks. Palpatine monitored the busy trade routes and set up military garrisons outside of Anchorhead and Mos Eisley on Tatooine.

Planets

 * Tatooine: Tatooine was the closest planet to the twin suns and the only populated world in the Tatoo system. Its native population consisted of Jawas and Tusken Raiders, but also maintained heavily populated human settlements, consisting of sentients who have colonized the planet over the years. Common industries found on Tatooine include slavery, merchandise trading, podracing and moisture farming.


 * Ohann: Ohann is a gas giant and the second planet orbiting Tatoo I and Tatoo II. It has three natural satellites.


 * Adriana: Adriana is a gas giant and the third planet orbiting Tatoo I and Tatoo II. It has four natural satellites. It is distinguished from Ohann by large rings of ice that surround the planet. This ice formation provided a lucrative trade for miners who would collect and package ice deposits, tranfer them to water and resell them to colonists on Tatooine.
