Tatooine
This desert world is a former mining colony now under Hutt control. The native Tusken people occupy the deserts, while old mining settlements host illicit trade.

The galaxy map builds its planets in a shader rather than shipping a picture of each one. This marble uses Tatooine's own surface material: its land and sea gradients, its temperature, its sea level and its tint colours. The continents are generated, because the game generates those too.
Two suns and no surface water worth the name, so Tatooine's settlers pull what they need out of the air instead. The Hutts run what passes for authority here, Jabba's operation chief among them, while the Jawas scavenge and the Tusken Raiders hold the deep desert. Bestine is the capital on paper.
