| This request (while not only being the first on the new site) will be covering the Jawa Clan Tikkit. Therefore I would like to request the following be in the possession of Clan Tikkit whose sole claim to fame is being the only Jawa clan living in space. (Honestly though if they made a Star Wars: Jawas in Space, I'd go pay good money to see that.)
The first major portion of the request is simple, a heavily modified Lucrehulk class LH-3210 cargo freighter. I've worked on the story behind this with Jace to come up with a plausible reason behind the Jawas gaining control to such a vessel. Seeking their fortune elsewhere (as other clans have before) the Jawas of Clan Tikkit would follow their Clan-Chief Cyrida Tikkit into space to emigrate to another world where they feel salvage is much more high, with dangers being lower. During this emigration, their vessel would come across an abandoned Trade Federation Lucrehulk cargo freighter. Seeing this as an opportunity, Cyrida and the rest of Clan Tikkit would relocate onto the vessel itself. The vessel however would not be without its drawbacks; these being that it would require constant repairs and maintenance to keep it in good running condition (or what one could call "Jawa approved operating condition.") The second drawback being the Trade Federation wanting its vessel back, even after they scuttled it, which would see the Jawas having to deal with the periodic attempts by the Trade Federation to reclaim their vessel.
The second major portion of the request is a C-9979 landing craft; which would be found and salvaged from the interior of the Lucrehulk. Just like the Lucrehulk itself, the C-9979 landing craft would require constant maintenance to keep it in a Jawa approved operating condition. This too would also have the drawback of the Trade Federation wanting its vessel returned; just like the majority of what the Jawas would find and salvage from the ship itself. This C-9979 landing craft however would be used to transport the remaining members of Clan Tikkit from their Clan Fortress on Tatooine onto the Lucrehulk; which would also include the Tikkit Clan's Digger Crawler; but also a handful of Digger Crawlers and Jawas from friendly neighboring Jawa tribes.
With it being clear that each Jawa clan has an established Clan-Chief and a Shaman that they follow; the clans as a whole would band together and form two Clan Councils; one for Clan-Chiefs and the other for Shamans. At the head of each clan would be the Tikkit Clan-Chief and Shaman due to their work on bringing the clans together onto the Lucrehulk.
For the most part I see these Jawas as a sort of "Site Janitor." Meaning that after a battle; be it member vs member, member vs npc, or a site established battle; these Jawas would show up in the Lucrehulk and salvage all that they could from the site, thus acting as janitors of space. They would accomplish this through the use of not only the Tractor beams on the Lucrehulk to pull in salvage to external openable cargo hanger doors, in addition to two GS-100 salvage ships working to collect salvage and bring it onto the ship.
You may be asking now "what about the Digger Crawlers on board? What purpose do they serve?" This is a simple question to answer. The Digger Crawlers themselves have a central smelting area. It is this area that with the use of 8D Smelter Droids that the Jawas would melt down and unusable (to their standards) salvage into salable ingots that they would sell to others. With this much salvaged material on the vessel, it would be difficult to move it all around. For this reason the Jawas would utilized IW-37 pincer droids and P-100 Salvage droids to aid in the moving of the heavier materials. Other finished goods and smaller parts would be shuttled around the Lucrehulk using two modified salvaged Platoon Attack Crafts; which would have the droid deployment racks modified into cargo carrying racks, to carry ingots and smaller salvaged materials or parts to where they are needed.
Now with it shown and known that Jawas are pacifist; with them only fighting when cornered or when their Shaman is in danger, this would cause a problem. While the Lucrehulk itself would have established external defenses, should anyone board the Lucrehulk, it would more or less be a massacre with the Jawas only being equipped with Ion Blasters. To this end I will request salvaged OOM and B1 battle droids, along with reprogrammed salvaged RIC series droids and a few reprogrammed 3PO series droids that would act as an internal security force should the vessel ever be boarded in a violent manner.
tl;dr
Just as a quick side note. I also intend to establish a Swap Meet in space using the Lucrehulk and the Jawas. Though instead of it being on the Dune Sea Basin between Jawa clans, it would be between the Jawas on the Lucrehulk and other spacers.

| Sorry this took me so long to get to; I'm new here and still working on what to play myself.
Kudos to the idea of Jawas in space; I believe it will add a neutral element to the RP and Jawas are by far an underplayed race in any Star Wars roleplay.
That being said, I have no issue with the numbers set forth for the Jawa Clan, nor with their modified choice of transport. I assume that the landing craft carries its original armament, of course (correct me if I am wrong) but overall, I see no reason not to approve this after reading it over.

| Minor edit was added to the back story. Switching from the vessel having been scuttled, to having been abandoned.

| I like this a lot, especially the idea of the swap meet with other characters in the RP. You can probably see a theme from my posts on requests; namely that I'm going to be more supportive of ideas that involve activity with other players in the RP and less supportive of ideas that don't. This, I think, is a great idea and it's APPROVED. Now that it is approved though, what would you think of an LH-3010 freighter instead of an LH-3210? It would be visually the same, but 170 meters shorter and considerably older and thus more likely the Trade Federation would have abandoned it in the first place. That would be my only suggestion to you.

| Yeah, I was thinking that earlier, it probably is best to say that it is the Lucrehulk-3010 rather than the LH-3210. I'll agree with that suggestion. As I spoke with you though in messenger, I plan on modifying the Lucrehulk further when it is appropriate to do so. That way as more happens (meaning more salvage is picked up by the Jawas and more events happen on the site) the ship is only going to resemble a Lucrehulk in shape, though with additions (such as hull mounted cargo arms to pull apart larger bits of salvage, etc etc.)

| Looking forward to that. In the meantime, an LH-3010 it is.
