Mos Eisely
A spaceport city on the remote planet Tatooine,
Mos Eisley attracts interstellar commerce as well as spacers
looking for rest after a long haul. The vast number of aliens and
humans constantly moving through the spaceport and its distance
from the centers of government activity have long made Mos Eisley
a haven for thieves, pirates and smugglers. The local presence of
crime lord Jabba the Hutt seems only
appropriate amidst this "wretched hive of scum and
villainy."
The city's old central section is laid out like a wheel, while
the newer sections are formed into straight blocks of buildings
that are half-buried to protect them from the heat of Tatooine's
twin suns. Instead of having a central landing area, the entire
city is a spaceport, with crater-like docking bays scattered
throughout its structure.
