Dantooine/Legends

Dantooine was a pleasant world of grasslands, rivers and lakes. It hosted a small population spread amongst single-family settlements and small communities with large land holdings. Native creatures included the kath hound, the iriaz, the fabool, and the sentient Dantari people.

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

A Jedi training enclave established by Master Vodo-Siosk Baas was in operation on Dantooine during Great Sith War, but was destroyed by Darth Malak, along with many of the planet's other settlements, forty years later.

In the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Mace Windu defeated a Separatist army on Dantooine. It was poised to reinforce the Confederacy on nearby Muunilinst, which the Republic would not accept.

During the Galactic Civil War, civilization could only be found on a few isolated ranches on the planet's surface.

Princess Leia once tried to fool Grand Moff Tarkin into believing that the main Rebel base was located on Dantooine. Tarkin replied that it was "too remote" to use as a demonstration of the Death Star I (the deciding factor here seemed to be a political and social impact rather than military necessity).
