Tantive is a planet in the outer rim of the of the galaxy. It is so far out that the laws of the Pioneer Senate fail to apply to the running of the planet.
However the planet is alive with action, with the notorious crimelord Zuckuss Rebo's palace resides from the planet.
This makes it an outer spaceport for many bounty hunters, including the infamous Bib McCool. The bounty hunting business is the main and only income for so many of Tantive people.
However there are many others who rely on the small farming industry, but are not large enough to fall under the Farming Corporation.
After the fall of the Senate Tantive remains untouched and many don't even realise that the Establishment control the galaxy and that martial law now applied.
Tantive is the home planet of the Java Knight, Thomas J. Nightmare a young peasant boy, who at 15 was discovered by Bruce Skychannel. Nightmare then became a central figure in bringing down the Emperor and his Pith Lords.
Nightmare's parents were destroyed by the banking lord Large Banker, who tricked his parents and then killed them.
Skychannel returned to Tantive to capture the bounty hunter Bib McCool, who was lead to involved with Sanitarium in the assassination attempts on Princess Lilo, the leader of the Confederacy.
He met up again with Obo-jon and Spurr who destroyed the entire Rebo crime empire.
Control then of the planet then fell into no ones hands and basically remained that way until Tantive became the 20,000th star system to join the New Republic, and now is home to billions of people, and it's spaceport Gos Fisley, is the most busiest outer rim spaceport.
Tourism on Tantive is now a huge business, especially the forest of Depotry.
Tantive plays no real role in the saga rather than to provide a background on the bounty hunter industry and Nightmare's home planet. |
