Clantaano III

Clantaano III, also referred to simply as Clantaano, was a dry and dusty desert planet. It occupied the third orbital position in the Clantaano system, a part of the Albanin sector within the Slice portion of the Outer Rim Territories. The super-hyperroute known as the Triellus Trade Route connected the planet to the Teth and Barab systems. Clantaano III had meager natural resources.

In the years preceding the Battle of Naboo of 32 BBY, the Clantaani cousins Longo Two-Guns and "Deadeye" Klintee established themselves as formidable gunmen on their native Clantaano III. Along with their cousin Radd Hardwikk, the pair eventually organized a gang of Clantaani criminals, including the Clantaano-born "Black Eye" Cahoon and "Dusty" Rengo, as well as Clem "Trigger" Vaneer and the offworlder "Wrong Way" Wint. At some point by 32 BBY, Longo Two-Guns and his gang moved their operations off Clantaano III.

Clantaano III was the homeworld of the sentient Clantaani species. The Clantaani organized themselves into several marauding nomadic tribes that were engaged in constant conflict with each other over their home planet's resources.

Clantaano III was first mentioned in Prima Games' 2002 official strategy guide for the LucasArts video game Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, which was written by David Hodgson. The guide on one occasion misspelled the planet's name as "Clantaani III." The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, written by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry, placed the Clantaano system, and therefore Clantaano III, within grid square U-12.
