Description: Offworld Jawa
Prefix: DZ
Detachment: Krayt Clan
Context: The Mandalorian
See also: Original Trilogy Jawa

After hopping on ships off their native Tatooine, Jawas relocated to many different desert planets. Jawas then had to adapt their dress to what fabrics were available. Although they did keep some old habits, their obsession with technology still remains the one force that drives them. You will find them living in the sand and trading in the markets.
