The Lowland Basin, situated on the desert planet of Tatooine within the Outer Rim, formed a portion of the Great Chott salt flat and encompassed both the Lars homestead and Tosche Station.
Although it went unnamed, the Lowland Basin made its debut appearance in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. Its formal identification occurred in the 2024 video game, Star Wars Outlaws, a project of Massive Entertainment released by Ubisoft. Within the game, Imperial transmissions pinpoint the player's most recent location as the Lowland Basin when a bounty is active.
Within the Legends continuity, the Lowland Basin received its initial designation in the 2003 video game, Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, a collaborative effort by Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts.
