Though
Jawas spend a great amount of time aboard their immense
sandcrawlers, some tribes do establish stationary settlements of varying permenance. Even the most temporary of encampments show the Jawas' instincts for desert survival, offering shelter from battering sandstorms or the searing
Tatooine suns. During his search for his mother,
Anakin Skywalker consulted a
Jawa camp for directions to a nearby
Tusken Raider village.
