MOS ESPA SLAVE QUARTERS
Location: Mos Espa, Tatooine
Type: Crowded slave hovels
Owner: Slavers
Inhabitants: Slaves
Debut: The Phantom Menace
Located in one of Mos Espa's poorer sections, the cramped, crowded slave quarters are hardly fit for a single person, yet whole families are forced to live in them by their owners.
Still, for many, it is the only home they have known, and most inhabitants manage get by inside their tiny rooms. Some of the hovels even connect to each other, forming some kind of family dwelling.
Designed to be cheap and temporary, the hovels were built by the miners that originally settled and then abandoned Tatooine. The hovels use antiquated bio-converter power generators, which receive liquid sludge composed of animal and municipal waste via underground pipelines. This sludge is then converted into a natchgas, which fuels the hovels' power needs. Anakin and Shmi Skywalker shared one such hovel when they were owned by Watto, who gave them a slightly larger hovel only because he couldn't afford any more slaves |
