Chenini

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Chenini was a moon of Tatooine. It had a large, elliptical orbit which took it as far as 4 million miles away from Tatooine at apogee, causing it to be overlooked on many planetary surveys.

[edit] History

The erratic appearance and disappearance of this celestial body led to many superstitions: Tusken Raiders planned rituals around the moon's cycle, while Jawas used the moons just before storm season to time their annual swap meets.
