They're huge, vicious, and fiercely territorial. The quartermaster suggests that in the unlikely event you happen to run into one that you keep on running and ignore the rumors of pearls in the creature's gullets less you find out the hard way.As for the last few days, all the man knows is that they've been moving a large amount of stormtroopers and other personell through the garrison, probably adding at least five times as many Imperial soldiers on the planet than normal.[/sblock]The trip to Anchorhead is long and boring...but thankfully, due to the speeder being enclosed, comfortable. As you pass over sand and rock and sand and rock, you come to realize that there seems to be little else on the planet beyond...sand and rock. And the sand seems to be dominating over the rock, too.By the time you spot the small settlement of Anchorhead, the twin suns have risen to their peak in the sky, bearing down heavily on everything below. Anchorhead is a very small town, and the word 'town' is even pushing the definition. There are only two 'streets'(though a street on Tatooine is exactly the same as a desert...just with buildings on either side) that meet like a cross at the center of the town. Lining the roads are a collection of sand blasted, stone buildings, none higher than two levels. If anyone actually lives here, you're hardpressed to find the houses. Likely, they are the buildings without markings, but that's still just a guess. Though you do see a small garage, it seems to be occupied by a couple of ancient landspeeders in disrepair. The few other speeders you see are parked on the side of the road, just sitting in the open sun baking...like everything else that isn't protected under a cloth overhang or similar draping.There are a good amount of people in the streets, eyeing your speeder in a curious manner though you know that they cannot see in through the heavily tinted glasteel viewport. Though mostly human, you spot the usual collection of short, glowing-eyes Jawas and even a few green-skinned Rodians moving about. Somehow, it wouldn't surprise you if the amount of people you see here are the was the entire population of Anchorhead.((Rough Tatooine map attached. So you can spot things easier, Mos Eisley is marked in Blue, Bestine in Red, and Anchorhead in Green.))</blockquote>
