Bestine is one of the largest static cities on Tatooine. It is considered by the Empire to be Tatooine's capitol city. It contains most city services a city could provide and is a popular landing point for many areas on the planet, because of its central location. New characters who wish to begin an Imperial Pilot career on Tatooine will be directed to the city, where the first Imperial Pilot Trainer for the planet is located.
Bestine is the Imperial stronghold city for Tatooine. Imperials will always be in control of the city, even if Rebels are winning the war on the planet and have control of all other cities. Lower level Rebels are advised to stay away--unless you want to be attacked by Storm Troopers.
Bestine also houses the capital building for Tatooine. Within the capital are two candidates who are perpetually running against one another. Players can do minor quests to secure their support for a given candidate and depending on the outcome of the election possibly receive a reward for their support. One example of this reward is a decorative rug given as a reward from one of the candidates.
Architects and art lovers also like Bestine for its museum located near the capital building. Within the museum, players can pay for a limited use schematic of a peice of art. The artwork changes on a regular basis, and the schematic typically costs 48,000 credits and has three uses.
Bank
The Bank is where you will find terminals to transfer credits to and from your inventory. When you complete a quest your credits are automatically transferred to your Bank Account. You will also find Bazaars in the Bank area. From these terminals you can buy and sell with other players around the area or around the Galaxy.
Cantina
The best place to rest your weary bones after a long day of missions, flying, or crafting is in a Cantina. It's also the best place to go BEFORE that long day. In a Cantina you can usually find musicians and dancers who will provide you with buffs if you listen/watch them via the radial menu. They can even heal fatigue. It's also a great place to mix and mingle with fellow players.
Capitol
The Capital Building in Bestine is Tatooine's governmental hub (for the Imperials at least). Politicians can always be found in the Captial, and so can their Trainers.
Cloning Facility
The Galaxy is a dangerous place and venturing out can be hazardous, even fatal. To get back into action after being killed in battle all you need to do is
clone yourself in a Cloning Facility. This way you always come back in one piece and all the gear you had when you cloned is saved as well. None of the damage it may have received during your death will be there because it was saved when you cloned.
Guild Hall
Guild Halls are a great place for Guild or Player's Association members to rendezvous before starting out on a mission. You can also find different trainers or even mission givers in Guild Halls.
Hospital
You're bound to sustain injury in the Galaxy and from time to time you may need the aid of a skilled Doctor. You can generally find player character doctors in the hospitals. Sitting on an exam bed will slowly heal you, real slow. To heal your wounds fast you'll want to find a Doctor or Medic. The Hospital is also the place to go if you want to learn any of the Medic Professions.
Hotel
A nice place to stop and visit. Chefs can often find trainers in Hotels. You never really know who else you'll find hanging around in the Hotel so be sure to check it out.
Museum
Fine art can always be found in the Museums. Sometimes so can missions.
Shuttleport
To get from place to place fast on a planet you'll want to use the Shuttleport. For a fee you can fly from any Shuttleport on a planet to any other Shuttleport or Starport on that planet.
Starport
The Starport is the hub for all interstellar traffic in the Galaxies. Each Starport has terminals from which you can buy tickets to travel to Starports on other planets. Pilots can manage and launch their ships from Starports or travel free by using their own ship. Pilots can also buy or sell ship components in most Starports. Shipwrights will always find Starship Design Terminals in and around Starports. Shipwright trainers are also found in most Starports.
