Tusken Relic Cave

The Tusken Relic Cave was a cave complex on the desert planet of Tatooine that was inhabited by Tusken Raiders. The cave was located in the Tusken March region of Tatooine, near Fort Tusken. The cave was where a tribe of Tusken Raiders kept their most sacred relics. These relics included a ghastly gaderffii baton, a chieftain's skull, and a krayt dragon head. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, during the Galactic Civil War—a series of conflicts between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic—, the relics were stolen from the cave by a spacer hired by the scholar Srimaur. This provoked the Tuskens to attack the city of Mos Espa in retribution.
