Taking control of Mos Eisley is a fairly simple affair. There are three installations in Mos Eisley that form its primary infrastructure; once you have those, the rest of the city is pretty much yours. In addition, Jabba's palace, some distance from the city, is an important location. | Taking control of Mos Eisley is a fairly simple affair.

A docking bay on Tatooine isn't really much more than a landing pad with a wall around it. Mos Eisley doesn't keep its docking bays all in one place, rather, they're distributed throughout the city, some near the major thoroughfares, and some in back alleys. This facilitates the kind of easy comings-and-goings that Mos Eisley is known for. Starport Control is the place where incoming pilots stake their claims to one or another of the docking bays. By controlling Starport Control, you can't really prevent people from landing or collect fees or anything, but you do get a much better idea of who they are. | A docking bay on Tatooine isn't really much more than a landing pad with a wall around it.

Mos Eisley doesn't make much of its own water. It has many little recycling plants for recovering it from wastewater, but there's always some leakage. That's why the moisture farms, out in the hinterlands, are important. They truck their water in to the distribution centers, like Anchorhead, which pipe it to the cities like Mos Eisley. Mos Eisley has a large cluster of water tanks, connected to the city's distribution system. Control these, and you can keep the population in line...except for illicit condensing units... | Mos Eisley doesn't make much of its own water.

Fast blockade runners (like the Millennium Falcon) visit Kessel to buy spice from corrupt Imperial officials. After making the hazardous Kessel Run, they come to Tatooine to deliver the cargo. Spice requires careful handling, because any exposure to light, before it is processed, will cause it to lose its potency. Jabba has made sure that his secure warehouses are the only ones on the planet that are equipped to handle it. | Fast blockade runners (like the Millennium Falcon) visit Kessel to buy spice from corrupt Imperial officials.
