Dantooine: Information gathering

In addition to the available literature on Dantooine's history and former archeological digs, local knowledge has helped a lot in finding remote locations and places of significance.

In the picture, a Janta woman performed ritual dances as she was telling me of local stories, passed down unchanged from generations. Name of heroes, of places, of events, all contribute in adding significance to the finds to come. Orbital tracking has helped a great deal in identifying sites and sometimes getting a layout of a place.
