UTAPAU
Utapau was an arid sinkhole world in the Utapau system of the Tarabba sector in the Outer Rim Territories. Utapau was the homeworld of the Pau'ans and the Utai, more commonly referred to collectively as Utapauns. These species lived in the many giant sinkholes that dotted the planet's scrub-covered surface.
51,000 light years from the core, Utapau orbited a single sun and was itself orbited by nine moons. It was composed of a small molten metallic core, with a rocky mantle and rocky, calcareous crust. Surface water made up only 0.9% of the planet, although most significantly, a vast subterranean ocean encircled the planet below the crust. Although extensive surface oceans once covered the planet, they leaked away to the subterranean ocean through the readily eroded crust through vast caverns that were once giant magma chambers. In turn, the erosive sea has contributed to the giant sinkholes throughout its windswept and grassy habitable areas. The resulting vast mineral deposits below the ocean are a great source of wealth for the planet.
Sinkholes on Utapau were a common geological feature that appeared in areas where the rock below the surface of the land is made from substances like salt beds, limestone, carbonate rock that can be dissolved by ground water flowing through them. This rock can also be weakened by acidic rain. When these rocks dissolve, large spaces develop underneath until it gets too big and the land above the gap collapses. Naturally-occurring sinkholes are also created by long periods of drought, or when caves with underground streams naturally give way.
This geocache is hidden in an Utapaun wasteland near some smaller sinkholes. It is a micro-sized, camoed pill container that only contains the logbook. You will have to bring your own writing instrument. The Utapaun government has stressed that anyone visiting this cache should not access the area from the highway. Doing so would be in direct violation of Utapaun Law. You should park and enter at the given waypoints. This area looks to be a haven for some illegal swoop bike races, so stealth will be needed at times. Rumor has it that General Grievous, himself, likes to ride his wheel bike near here. Please be careful when replacing the cache. May the Force be with you.
