SANDPEOPLEAnomadic and often violent species, the Sand People of the planet Tatooine are as fierce and savage as their harsh desert environment. Also known as Tusken Raiders, even their appearance - born of necessity - lends them an air of menace. Wrapped in gauzy robes and strips of cloth from head to foot, their faces are concealed with breathing masks and goggles to protect their eyes. The frightening visage of a bandit Tusken Raider can terrorize as easily as their weapons.
The Sand People are easily intoxicated by sugar water and
are most dangerous during their adolescent years, when they must
survive rigorous rites of passage--such as hunting krayt dragons--to
become adults. Since there is no written Tusken language, the
storyteller-historian is the most respected member of Tusken
communities. Many Tusken Raider clans of 20 to 30 individuals return
annually to their traditional encampments in the Needles, a section of
the Jundland Wastes, to wait out the dangerous sandstorm
season.
