Legends Linked from 5 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

In 32 BBY, Sharad Hett led a group of Tusken Raiders in an attack on the Tatooine city of Anchorhead. One Tusken war clan rode into the town on Banthas shooting and trampling things. While the citizens fought them off, another Tusken group composed of around a dozen clans rode in from the north. They killed six militiamen, set fire to the armory, smashed the central moisture vaporator, and stole some water before fleeing.
