Dantooine

Dantooine (Dan-too-een) was mentioned only once in the Star Wars films. In A New Hope, Princess Leia tries to fool Grand Moff Tarkin into believing that the Rebel base is located there. Tarkin replies that Dantooine is "too remote" to use the Death Star on (the deciding factor here seems to be a political and social impact rather than military necessity). Eventually, the Empire finds the remains of a Rebel base on Dantooine, but it was deserted.

What we know about Dantooine comes from various spin-off novels and media based on the films known as the Expanded Universe. It is a pleasant world of grasslands, rivers and lakes. It hosts a small population spread amongst single-family settlements and small communities with large land holdings. Native creatures include the kath hound, the iriaz, the fabool and the sentient Dantari people. Dantooine is the opposite of its counterpart, Tatooine, because the former is a grassland with rivers and lakes, while the latter is almost completely covered by desert.

Dantooine was one of the subject worlds of the Infinite Empire; a Star Map containing data about the Star Forge could be found in an underground structure there. Dantooine also boasts the complex in which the ancient Jedi Knights carried on mysterious cloning experiments.

The empty halls of the jedi temple that resided here was no more than a burial site for the fallen jedi after the jedi civil war. There was nothing left here, an echo in the force more than likely. Even though the order never resumed here on Dantooine it was more of a tranquil place for jedi to meditate and center oneself. There he stood over the graves of his fallen comrades with fresh flowers remembering the training he had at this place.

"...My friends, and masters...your now just a memory that is quickly fading away...nothing more than dust in the wind. May the force be with you guys always."

Dawn was now just breaking on the plainlands with Kath hounds howling in the distance. But even though it may be peaceful, it still had it's scars and it will recover but not the jedi here.

The afternoon breeze a was refreshing delight on Dantooine because of the tranquility. Now this was the reason why he rathered train here than on Corusant. The bustling city and smog was not what he liked but more of a clean ozone were life could flourish.

"I would have thought that Revan would appear here on Dantooine, this was after all were he was raised throughout his whole life...Well may be he won't come, after all hes' done here."

His normal daily routine was just strolling the plains of Dantooine helping the farmers get rid of Kath hounds. There was now and again a group of mercernaries but not very often.

His mission on Dantooine was complete. His thorough search was complete on all of dantooine for the time being. His next object was to reach Corusant and do some reasearching. He reached the ebon hawk and left Dantooine for Corusant.
