Mos Espa consisted of the dome-roofed, adobe buildings found in cities across Tatooine, and was said to appear as a great, twisting snake, hunkered down to escape the heat. Most residents were either involved in crime business with the Hutts or were poor shop keepers and moisture farmers trying to eke out a living in the inhospitable desert. The biggest retail business in Mos Espa seems to have been junk-dealing, and even small dealers like Watto the Toydarian seemed to rake in a substantial amount of money, albeit sometimes unscrupulously.

Like most Tatooine settlements, it began as a mining colony. When the mining efforts failed, the dying settlement attracted the criminal Hutts, who took control and turned the city into a thriving yet dangerous spaceport.

It gained a deadly reputation for lethal podraces sponsored by the Hutts to encourage gambling. During the reign of the Hutts, the population consisted mostly of slaves, slavers and poor settlers, not including the large amount of spacers and smugglers who had a brief stay in the city before moving on to the next rock.
+
Anchorhead was one of the oldest settlements located on the planet [[Tatooine (Planet)|Tatooine]] and was established in 4,200 BBY. Located nearly 800 kilometers from [[Mos Eisley (City)|Mos Eisley]], it was originally a mining outpost, and was abandoned and resettled many times, as each mining company came to discover the poor quality of the ore located there. The most notable of the mining operations was carried out by Czerka Corporation in 3956 BBY.
  
−
The town also boasted of at least two local ghost stories; the spooky and mysterious Nobot and a strange ship left deserted on the outskirts that was believed to be haunted.
+
The companies would abandon their equipment each time, due to the prohibitive costs of transporting them off-world, and the indigenous Jawas would take them as their own. This gave rise to the use of Sandcrawlers -- mobile smelting machines -- as mobile homes for the Jawas.  
  
−
Around the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo, Padmé Amidala and her Jedi escorts arrived in Mos Espa seeking a new hyperdrive. After finding a suitable one in Watto's junk dealership, Qui-Gon made a deal with the Toydarian to exchange the parts and for freedom for his young slave boy Anakin. The deal went in Qui-Gon's favor and Anakin came with him to Coruscant, marking a pivotal moment in galactic history.
+
Revan and his companions landed at Anchorhead in 3956 BBY. They hoped to locate a hidden Star Map, a technological remnant of the Infinite Empire, which would help them find the Star Forge. At the time, Czerka Corporation's mining operations were being impeded by frequent Sandpeople attacks. Revan offered his assistance, and in fact was able to earn the Tusken Raiders' trust enough to negotiate with them. They could not agree to stop the attacks, but the Sandpeople did agree to free some of their prisoners, including several Jawas and Mission Vao's brother, Griff Vao.
  
−
Years later when the Empire arrived on Tatooine, the podraces were outlawed and the city lost its illicit reputation and allure. Jabba the Hutt left for more lucrative parts unknown.
+
Anchorhead was later abandoned by Czerka Corporation, due not only to the Sandpeople's hostility, but to the low-quality ore. It is unknown how the settlement fared after Czerka pulled out, although it had become permanently populated by the time of the Galactic Empire. During Czerka's time on the planet, several hunters made their living there as well. A Hunting Lodge had been established for them in [[Anchorhead (City)|Anchorhead]], as well as second-rate swoop track, a cantina, and a droid shop.

It could be found a few miles east of the Lars' Homestead, south of the now-bustling spaceport of Mos Eisley. [[Anchorhead (City)|Anchorhead]] itself primarily consisted of moisture farmers. It was governed by the [[Anchorhead (City)|Anchorhead]] Municipal Council.

History

Anchorhead was one of the oldest settlements located on the planet Tatooine and was established in 4,200 BBY. Located nearly 800 kilometers from Mos Eisley, it was originally a mining outpost, and was abandoned and resettled many times, as each mining company came to discover the poor quality of the ore located there. The most notable of the mining operations was carried out by Czerka Corporation in 3956 BBY.

The companies would abandon their equipment each time, due to the prohibitive costs of transporting them off-world, and the indigenous Jawas would take them as their own. This gave rise to the use of Sandcrawlers -- mobile smelting machines -- as mobile homes for the Jawas.

Revan and his companions landed at Anchorhead in 3956 BBY. They hoped to locate a hidden Star Map, a technological remnant of the Infinite Empire, which would help them find the Star Forge. At the time, Czerka Corporation's mining operations were being impeded by frequent Sandpeople attacks. Revan offered his assistance, and in fact was able to earn the Tusken Raiders' trust enough to negotiate with them. They could not agree to stop the attacks, but the Sandpeople did agree to free some of their prisoners, including several Jawas and Mission Vao's brother, Griff Vao.

Anchorhead was later abandoned by Czerka Corporation, due not only to the Sandpeople's hostility, but to the low-quality ore. It is unknown how the settlement fared after Czerka pulled out, although it had become permanently populated by the time of the Galactic Empire. During Czerka's time on the planet, several hunters made their living there as well. A Hunting Lodge had been established for them in Anchorhead, as well as second-rate swoop track, a cantina, and a droid shop.

By the time of the Galactic Empire, Anchorhead, along with other settlements on Tatooine, had become permanently populated. It could be found a few miles east of the Lars' Homestead, south of the now-bustling spaceport of Mos Eisley. Anchorhead itself primarily consisted of moisture farmers. It was governed by the Anchorhead Municipal Council.

Anchorhead itself contained a dozen pourstone stores, two cantinas (including The Weary Traveler), a market, and Tosche Station on the outskirts of town.

During the Galactic Civil war, Anchorhead Base served as a base for rebel operatives assigned to purchase black market weapons from nearby cities.

Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo stopped there to evade the Empire on their quest to find a piece of Alderaan art, Killik Twilight.
