Klatooine was the arid homeworld of the Klatooinian species. It was located within the Si'Klaata Cluster, under Hutt control. It was covered with deserts and, to a lesser extent, savannas.

Geography and history[]

The planet was taken over by the Hutts under the Treaty of Vontor in 25,100 BBY. Klatooine was ruled by the Council of Elders. The Hutts, however, controlled all Klatooinian activities offworld. The pak'pah fruit was found nowhere else in the galaxy, possibly because of wintrium in the soil.

During the Galactic War, a Hutt plantation planned on stealing the annual paddy frog harvest to sell them discreetly at a markup as delicacy without enraging the fellow Hutts.^[3]

It was home to the Derelkoos Desert, the location of a fissure that spurted a fountain of liquid wintrium. No technology was allowed one kilometer around this Fountain of Ancients, which the Klatooinians revered as a holy site.

Most buildings were built over wells to prevent shortage of water on the planet.

The Lesser Houdoggin, in addition to paddy frogs, a Hutt delicacy, came from this world.

In 44 ABY, the Treaty of Vontor was revoked, and a slave revolt broke out on the world. However, a team of Galactic Alliance negotiators led by Leia Organa Solo helped the rebels organize themselves and gain Klatooine admission into the Alliance.

Behind the scenes[]

The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places Klatooine in the "Dufilvan sector" (a misspelling of the true Dufilvian sector), which is actually located in the Mid Rim.

The name of the planet is most likely a reference to "Klaatu barada nikto," a phrase which originated in the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still.
