Dantooine

An agrarian world of rolling hills, vast fields, and hardy blba trees, Dantooine is a remote, sparsely inhabited planet. The resilient folk who tend its fields have never minded that most of the galaxy considers their home a backwater-in fact, many prefer it that way. Unfortunately for those citizens, when war erupted anew following the defeat of the Eternal Empire, both sides of the conflict became keenly aware of the sudden strategic importance of this once-ignored world poised on the edge of Imperial territory.

Imperial Outpost DNT-X004

The barebones Imperial base on Dantooine embodies their mission on the planet: accomplish as much as possible with practically no resources. Sneaking in under the cover of the Nova Blades' attack, a small strike force hurried to establish a recon base in a strategic location near the Banir Regional Energy Complex. This location proved a perfect launchpad for strikes on the Republic's infrastructure. Despite operating with the bare minimum of staff and materiel, the effort has been deemed successful thus far.

Tokare Garrison

The Garrison is a recent construction and part of Republic efforts to reinforce its hold on Dantooine. The planet now serves as a resupply station for Republic ships, and its position at the edge of Imperial space makes it a prime location to stage assault forces. The military presence on Dantooine has therefore grown rapidly, to the consternation of some of the planet's farmers.

This large base of Republic operations was named in honor of Master Vandar Tokare, a member of the Jedi Council who oversaw the enclave on Dantooine. Tokare perished during Darth Nihilus' devastation of the planet Katarr, but he remains an inspiration to many.

Blba Tree

The sturdy blba tree flourishes throughout Dantooine's fertile grasslands. They can grow for hundreds of years, and particularly venerable trees have served as wedding sites for generation after generation of family lineages. Dantooinians regard them as apt symbols for the planet's inhabitants: they're hardy, require little to thrive, and are incredibly difficult to move once their roots take.

Banir Regional Energy Complex

The Republic's renewed interest in Dantooine led to heavy investment in the planet's aging infrastructure. The crumbling dam near Tokare Garrison was transformed by Republic engineers into a high-tech energy complex. This combination wind and hydroelectric facility is capable of producing the enormous amounts of power needed by the Republic's industrialized farming initiative.

Despite the benefits of the Republic's attention to the planet--improved defenses and infrastructure, and a revitalized economy--some of Dantooine's old guard decry the rapid development and caution their fellow citizens against relying too heavily on the Republic's support.

Jedi Enclave Ruins

Some of history's most powerful Force-users trained in the halls of the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine. Only students with great potential were admitted, and while the rigorous training produced exceptional Jedi, the fall of several notable students to the dark side cast a pall on the institution's legacy. Exar Kun, Darth Revan, and Darth Malak all trained at the enclave on Dantooine.

The enclave was established by Master Vodo-Siosk Baas. Dantooine's isolation and relative obscurity, along with the naturally-occurring crystal caverns that dotted the planet, made it an excellent site. Years later, during the Jedi Civil War, the enclave was razed in an attack orchestrated by its own former student, Darth Malak.

For many years and despite early efforts at rebuilding, the enclave has been abandoned by the Jedi and ransacked by sanctioned salvaging initiatives operated by Dantooine's governing body. With the Order re-forming and Dantooine becoming a strategically important planet in the war, perhaps one day the enclave will be restored to its former glory.

Legacy of Darth Traya

Darth Traya rejected traditional teachings on the Force, challenging views held by both Jedi and Sith. After her Sith apprentices stripped her connection to the Force, she assumed the name Kreia and set into motion a grand scheme for revenge--and perhaps much more, based on the remnants of her history that can be found.

Part of Kreia's plan involved decimating the Jedi Order. On Dantooine, Kreia severed Masters Vrook Lamar, Kavar, and Zez-Kai Ell from the Force, killing them within the Jedi enclave.

Dantooine Agriculture

Dantooine is a pastoral planet populated by resilient farmers. For much of their history, Dantooine's inhabitants focused primarily on sustenance, carting what little excess they produced to the planet's few mercantile centers on the rare occasion off-world traders arrived.

Staple crops include kibla greens and yot beans, though the Republic has been pushing for the cultivation of faster-cycle non-native species to support increasing supply needs. The planet, once deemed beneath notice by both sides of the conflict, now serves as an integral link in the Republic's supply chain.

Infinite Empire: Dantooine

At its height, the Rakatan Infinite Empire spanned hundreds of worlds, and Dantooine was among them. Through advanced technologies powered by the dark side of the Force, the Rakata subjugated the planet and constructed monuments to their greatness across it. It is rumored that the planet housed a Star Map--a relic that pointed the way to the ultimate Rakatan achievement: the Star Forge.

Many thousands of years after the fall of the Infinite Empire, traces of this brutal occupation can still be uncovered.

Nova Blade Assault: Dantooine

The Nova Blades, still recovering from the defeat of their leader Dael Margok on Rishi, began efforts to reorganize in the Raioballo sector near the planet Dantooine. Spurred on by intelligence from covert Imperial agents, the Nova Blades launched an assault on the planet to plunder the Republic's vast stores of food and munitions on the surface.

Under cover of the chaos caused by the pirates, a small Imperial strike force moved to destabilize the planet and destroy key infrastructure. The Republic, caught off-guard, was forced to divert already-strained military resources to fend off the pirates and thwart the Empire's machinations.
