Dead Bantha Gulch

Dead bantha Gulch was a ravine on Tatooine. The smugglers Platt Okeefe and Tru'eb Cholakk hid out there after their escape from the slavelord Quintik Kahr. At the bottom of it, lay a bantha skeleton which inspired them to give it such a name. The canyon was large enough to fit several freighters in it without being detected from the air, and it contained a number of large caves. The native Jawas and Tusken Raiders kept clear of the area.

Okeefe and Tru'eb arranged to meet there around four months after the Battle of Yavin to exchange cargoes. However, Major Birket of the Imperial Security Bureau captured Cholakk and set a trap for Okeefe in the ravine. While she was initially captured, the two smugglers managed to escape the Imperials with the help of Okeefe's understudy, Darrik.
