Yalawua was a squat located to the north of Worlport within the borders of the Scraplands on the planet Ord Mantell. Hivelike, the squat was inhabited by a colony of Jawas rumored to have fled Tatooine after the loss of their village to Tusken Raiders. During the Galactic Civil War, Yalawua's residents survived by trading refurbished droid parts and guiding lost travelers through the wastes.
