Jundland Wastes
Basic Information -
Homeworld: Tatooine
Type: Craggy Desert Mesas
A craggy expanse on Tatooine not to be traveled lightly, the Jundland Wastes are also known as 'no man's land,' where the rugged desert mesas meet the endless Dune Sea. The craggy environment is home to many threats, from roaming krayt dragons to Jawa hunting parties, from groups of Tusken Raiders to burrows of ravenous womp rats. Obi-Wan Kenobi lived close to the Jundland Wastes during the time of the Empire. The Jundland Wastes incorporate the rocky regions between the Western and Northern Dune Sea, at the western end of the Great Mesra Plateau. The presence of Tusken Raiders has kept all but the most foolhardy farmers from settling near Jundland. The only reason outlanders venture into the Jundland Wastes with any regularity is the presence of Beggar's Canyon. The ancient dried out remains of the confluence of three rivers, Beggar's Canyon is a winding, rocky gorge that forms a natural testing ground for hotshot pilots. The canyon snakes far beyond the Jundland reaches, even reaching as far as the Boonta Eve Podrace course. Areas of note include the Bottleneck, Dead Man's Turn, the Diablo Cut, and the fabled Stone Needle, a natural monument that only the most daring attempt to thread.
