Fourth in a series of 20 caches based upon locations from the Star Wars movies. This like the others in the series will have the same cache log container. Muggles and traffic will be a problem at this location.
Anchorhead is a settlement located on the planet Tatooine. It is a few miles east of the Lars family home, west of the bustling spaceport of Mos Eisley, and primarily consists of moisture farmers. It is also the location of the Tosche Station.
Anchorhead was founded when the Old Republic sought valuable mineral resources on Tatooine's surface. Fort Tusken and Anchorhead were the first Republic settlements on the planet.
Anchorhead serves as the setting for a series of scenes, deleted from Episode IV, that depict the early life and associations of Luke Skywalker. These deleted scenes, which are found in the novel and comic book versions of Star Wars: A New Hope, collectively form the Anchorhead Story of Star Wars. In the LucasArts game Star Wars Galaxies, Anchorhead is described as a town in which those sympathetic to the Rebels can walk out in the open, and noted that "If there was any town on Tatooine that was the farthest from Imperial rule, Anchorhead would be the one."
Anchorhead also appeared in the LucasArts video game Knights of the Old Republic, where Anchorhead was the Tatooine landing side for the player's ship, the Ebon Hawk. Anchorhead was depicted as an early mining community and hunting station. It was run by the popular Czerka Corporation and was famous for hunting wraids, swoop racing and mining. The mining operation, however, was not going too well, since Tatooine did not have any valuable resources and the Sand People often terrorized mining activity, discouraging miners. (Those miners, or similar ones, would later leave behind the Sandcrawlers that the Jawas now use.
Anchorhead is also the basis for the underground "Darth" Metal band "Anchorhead", that pays tribute to Star Wars.
