A stately gem of Imperial politics, Bestine is carved into the southern Jundland Wastes west of the Mos Eisley spaceport. Before the arrival of the Empire, Bestine was primarily a farming community, but it has since become the seat of Imperial power on Tatooine. As a result, Bestine is now the most cosmopolitan and cultured Tatooine settlement.

Due largely to the influx of Imperial personnel - and their credits - Bestine is flourishing while other Tatooine cities struggle. Bestine has transformed from a modest agrarian township into a thriving economic hub. While Mos Eisley attracts smuggles and their ilk, Bestine is a magnet for honest traders and merchants interested in doing legitimate business on Tatooine. Bestine is also the safest of all Tatooine cities. Imperial stormtroopers patrol the streets, protecting the local populace from common thugs. The Imperial forces also defend the city from Tusken Raider attackes and guard the routes to and from Bestine.

Bestine could be considered the capital of Tatooine, at least by Imperial standards. The Empire has made this city their primary base of operations upon Tatooine.

With the welcomed Stormtrooper presence patrolling the area, Bestine is one of the most orderly and safe cities on the planet.

A few words of advice to those who don't agree with the motives of the Empire: Move along.

Imperial politics rage in Bestine where the next governor's aide will control the fate of the capitol city. Registering with a candidate can help decide whether it is a city of commerce for merchants or defense from the savage Sand People.

Bestine is one of the largest static cities on Tatooine. It is
considered by the Empire to be Tatooine's capitol city. It contains
most city services a city could provide and is a popular landing point
for many areas on the planet, because of its central location. New
characters who wish to begin an Imperial Pilot career on Tatooine will
be directed to the city, where the first Imperial Pilot Trainer for the
planet is located.


Bestine is the Imperial stronghold city for Tatooine. Imperials will
always be in control of the city, even if Rebels are winning the war on
the planet and have control of all other cities. Lower level Rebels are
advised to stay away--unless you want to be attacked by Storm Troopers.




Bestine also houses the capital building for Tatooine. Within the
capital are two candidates who are perpetually running against one
another. Players can do minor quests to secure their support for a
given candidate and depending on the outcome of the election possibly
receive a reward for their support. One example of this reward is a
decorative rug given as a reward from one of the candidates.


Architects and art lovers also like Bestine for its museum located near
the capital building. Within the museum, players can pay for a limited
use schematic of a peice of art. The artwork changes on a regular
basis, and the schematic typically costs 48,000 credits and has three
uses.

Bank


The Bank is where you will find terminals to transfer credits to and
from your inventory. When you complete a quest your credits are
automatically transferred to your Bank Account. You will also find
Bazaars in the Bank area. From these terminals you can buy and sell
with other players around the area or around the Galaxy.




Cantina

The best place to rest your weary bones after a long day of
missions, flying, or crafting is in a Cantina. It's also the best place
to go BEFORE that long day. In a Cantina you can usually find musicians
and dancers who will provide you with buffs if you listen/watch them
via the radial menu. They can even heal fatigue. It's also a great
place to mix and mingle with fellow players.





Capitol

The Capital Building in Bestine is Tatooine's governmental hub (for
the Imperials at least). Politicians can always be found in the
Captial, and so can their Trainers.




Cloning Facility

The Galaxy is a dangerous place and venturing out can be hazardous,
even fatal. To get back into action after being killed in battle all
you need to do is clone
yourself in a Cloning Facility. This way you always come back in one
piece and all the gear you had when you cloned is saved as well. None
of the damage it may have received during your death will be there
because it was saved when you cloned.




Guild Hall


Guild Halls are a great place for Guild or Player's Association
members to rendezvous before starting out on a mission. You can also
find different trainers or even mission givers in Guild Halls.




Hospital

You're bound to sustain injury in the Galaxy and from time to time
you may need the aid of a skilled Doctor. You can generally find player
character doctors in the hospitals. Sitting on an exam bed will slowly
heal you, real slow. To heal your wounds fast you'll want to find a
Doctor or Medic. The Hospital is also the place to go if you want to
learn any of the Medic Professions.




Hotel

A nice place to stop and visit. Chefs can often find trainers in
Hotels. You never really know who else you'll find hanging around in
the Hotel so be sure to check it out.




Museum


Fine art can always be found in the Museums. Sometimes so can missions.





Shuttleport

To get from place to place fast on a planet you'll want to use the
Shuttleport. For a fee you can fly from any Shuttleport on a planet to
any other Shuttleport or Starport on that planet.



Starport


The Starport is the hub for all interstellar traffic in the Galaxies.
Each Starport has terminals from which you can buy tickets to travel to
Starports on other planets. Pilots can manage and launch their ships
from Starports or travel free by using their own ship. Pilots can also
buy or sell ship components in most Starports. Shipwrights will always
find Starship Design Terminals in and around Starports. Shipwright
trainers are also found in most Starports.
