Star Wars

Tusken Raiders, also known as Sand People, are a nomadic, tribal people indigenous to the desert planet Tatooine in the Star Wars universe. They are known for their fierce independence, territoriality, and violent raids on settlements and travelers.

First appearing in Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), Tusken Raiders are easily identifiable by their full-body coverings, designed to protect them from the harsh desert environment. These coverings typically include goggles, breathing filters, and rough cloth wrappings.

Their culture revolves around survival in the harsh conditions of Tatooine. They travel in small groups and are skilled marksmen, often using gaffi sticks as weapons. They are a constant threat in the areas they inhabit, especially during space fights.
