Hero of Tatooine sculpture
The designation Hero of Tatooine was given to an unknown spacer by a Rodian hermit. This spacer earned the title by acting heroically in several tasks to aid the people of Tatooine during the time of the Galactic Civil War.
Back in 1 ABY, a spacer, exploring a cave located on Tatooine, stumbled upon an elderly Rodian hermit residing within. Sharing a common belief that the Galactic Empire had cast a shadow over the galaxy, the hermit presented the spacer with four distinct challenges. These challenges, if completed, would enable the spacer to become a hero by providing assistance to the people living on Tatooine.
Subsequently, the spacer successfully accomplished the four tasks. They demonstrated their intelligence by accurately identifying the target of a perplexed bounty hunter, showed honor by resisting the corrupting influence of pirates, displayed courage by defeating a dangerous bladeback boar, and acted altruistically by helping a moisture farmer save his family from the Sennex slavers. Upon completion of all the tasks, the adventurer returned to the hermit, who then proclaimed them the Hero of Tatooine. As a reward, the hero received four "trophies" – namely the Mark of Intellect, the Mark of Honor, the Mark of Courage, and the Mark of Altruism. These marks, when combined, formed a unique spherical sculpture. Additionally, they were given the Mark of the Hero, a ring rumored to have the power to resurrect its wearer from death.
