Natchgas was a type of gas produced by bio-converter power generators like those used in the homes of enslaved individuals on the desert planet Tatooine. One such oversized power generator powered the Skywalker home and four other adjacent hovels in Slave Quarters Row in the city of Mos Espa,[1] by 32 BBY.[2] Underground pipelines fed the generators on the row with liquid sludge composed of animal and municipal waste that the machines then converted into natchgas.[1]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, natchgas was mentioned in the 2016 reference book Star Wars: Complete Locations. It was part of material reprinted[1] from the 2000 reference book Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode I, which was written by Kristin Lund and marked the first mention of the gas in the Star Wars Legends continuity.[3]
