The Janta Stronghold represented a system of fortified caves inhabited by the Dantari members of the Janta tribe. This settlement was situated on the planet Dantooine during the time of the Galactic Civil War.
During 1 ABY, a group of Janta, driven by hunger, assaulted an artisan close to their cave dwelling, and absconded with a pair of his sculptures. Also in that year, Imperial Lieutenant Velso sent a spacer to the Janta Stronghold with the mission of recovering the self-destruct sequence codes for a Rebel Corellian Corvette. The Galactic Empire theorized that these codes had been misplaced during the abandonment of the Dantooine Rebel base, an evacuation in which the aforementioned ship played a part. Subsequently, a spacer made a visit to the cave and acquired a Blackscale "Hall Sweeper" carbine.
The Janta Stronghold appeared as a location within the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies. This game was a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game which was created by Sony Online Entertainment and brought to the public by LucasArts, before the game was shut down on December 15, 2011.
