Adriana

Adriana was a gas giant planet that was located within the Tatoo system of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories region. The planet was orbited by several rings consisting of ice. That ice was often mined and transported to the nearby desert world of Tatooine, for which it was the most important source of water. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Human Garouf Lafoe was importing ice from Adriana's rings and selling it to the Tatooine's inhabitants.

Description
Adriana was a gas giant–type planet that was located within the Tatoo system of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories region. A part of the Arkanis sector, which was located in turn within the regions known as the Spice Triangle and the Slice, Adriana lay on the crossroads of the hyperlanes called the Old Corellian Run and the Triellus Trade Route. The Old Corellian Run connected the planet to the worlds of Utaruun and Obana while the Triellus Trade Route linked Adriana to the planets of Andooweel and Ooo-temiuk. A smaller hyperspace route known as The Crystal Passage linked the gas giant to the world of Geonosis.

Adriana occupied the third and outermost orbit around the binary star pair of Tatoo I and Tatoo II. Four lifeless moons circled the gas giant itself. Adriana was also orbited by several rings composed of ice. The rings were often mined for the ice, chunks of which were transported to the desert planet of Tatooine&mdash; the innermost world of the Tatoo system. The ice was subsequently sold to Tatooine's inhabitants as the planet's main source of water.

History
Around the year 17,000 BBY, the territory surrounding Adriana was a part of the Exploitation Region that was actively controlled by galactic corporations. Approximately six thousand years later, that region of space was controlled by the Galactic Republic. The area of space containing Adriana was located within the Hutt Space region from at least 1000 BBY to the time period between 19 and 17 BBY, when the area was annexed by the Galactic Empire.

By 0 BBY, the Human Garouf Lafoe was a free-trader on Tatooine who imported ice from Adriana's rings and sold it to the desert planet's inhabitants. By the year 137 ABY, the region of space containing Adriana fell within the borders of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire.

Behind the scenes
Adriana was first mentioned in Galaxy Guide 7: Mos Eisley&mdash;a West End Games supplement book that was authored by Martin Wixted and published in 1993. Additional background information on the planet was provided by several other sources, the first of which was the 1996 A New Hope Limited expansion set of the Star Wars Customizable Card Game. Adriana later received an entry in the 2008 The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia. The Tatoo system&mdash;and therefore Adriana&mdash;was placed in grid square R-16 by The Essential Atlas&mdash;a reference book co-authored by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace, and published in 2009.
