Gafsa, situated within the South Jundland Wastes of Tatooine, was a canyon. This desert planet, Tatooine, resided in the Outer Rim Territories. Notably, Gafsa possessed at least one water well. The Tusken Raiders held such uncommon wells as sacred, and unauthorized entry often resulted in immediate acts of aggression.
The first mention of Gafsa in the canon timeline occurred within Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary, New Edition. This reference work was made available to the public in 2018. Subsequently, Gafsa was featured in the 2024 video game Star Wars Outlaws, which was the product of development by Massive Entertainment and publishing by Ubisoft. The Imperial transmissions within the game, which concern the player's last observed position when they have a wanted level, serve to identify it. Consequently, pinpointing Gafsa's precise borders within the game proves challenging.
In the Legends continuity, Gafsa was both referenced and subsequently depicted in the Star Wars: Republic comic book series produced by Dark Horse Comics.
