Utinni! - Be it because they are so heavily modified by Jawas or just their construction in general; the Jawa War Crawler appears to be only useable by Jawas - as in the hands of Non-Jawas, these vehicles seem to be more finicky, prone to breaking down much more readily, or otherwise refusing to operate entirely.

Modularity - The true strength of the Jawa War Crawler is how easily - or at least in the hands of the Jawas - they are to be modified. Additional parts are often added or taken away at the whims of their creators and crafters. Weapons systems swapped in and out depending on the needs of the Crawler and the Jawas held within. While one Jawa Crawler may lumber across the battlefield utilizing the ball turrets from an old MTT, another might let loose a blast from an AAT turret.

​

Utinni! - Even in the adept hands of the Jawas, their War Crawlers are still finicky in many aspects - and in many cases are prone to ceasing operating properly if not properly maintained by the skilled hands of Jawas; or even refusing to operate just because the wind shifted in its general direction.

Slow - The War Crawler is by no means an HAV A6 Juggernaut - and much like they do on the far-flung worlds that Jawas find themselves residing upon; the War Crawlers slowly amble about the battlefield.

UTINNI!
​

Wheeled-Tracks grind and roar as the behemoths often seen in the deserts of Tatooine crawl forward before lurching to a halt. Their Anti-Personnel Blaster Cannons unleash a withering salvo as the forward ramp comes crashing down. From within a mighty unifying scream of UTINNI!, can be heard - and the enemy sees a terrifying, bone shuddering sight. Hundreds of Jawas and their Droids march out upon the enemy, their minds focused upon the salvage that lay beyond and within the enemy fortifications. These are the Jawa War Crawlers, fearsome in their appearance, and each one is just as unique as the last - with this being a simple example of what one might expect when they come across these vehicles.

Highly modifiable - even if they were originally not meant to be - the Jawa War Crawlers take on their own appearances and uniqueness just as anything a Jawa touches seems to be inclined to do. The most common Jawa War Crawlers are heavily armored, carrying a complement of Anti-Personnel Blaster Cannons taken from MTTs and mounted upon either side of the main ramp. Others have been modified with the heavy guns of an AAT Turret, or any kind of weapon the Jawa's can get their hands upon. Their strength comes from this modularity and the deft skills of the Jawas that crew these vehicles; though this is also its greatest weakness. The Jawa War Crawlers seem to only respond in a good manner to the Jawas, with many others often noticing the vehicles seem to have a mind of their own and refuse to operate properly for any Non-Jawa. Even so, the War Crawlers can be just as finicky in the hands of the Jawas, prone to breaking down or fits of refusal to operate.

Their grand size also makes for the perfect target - easier to strike than smaller vehicles - however that doesn't seem to discourage the Jawas that clamor within the reinforced armored hull of the crawler. While many Jawas have not developed their own War Crawlers yet, the majority still seem to be operated by the Mecharius, a military unit comprised of Jawas often fielded by the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
