- Sensor Array. The bridge of the Twisted Sandcrawler has a decent sensor array, and contains technology such as Aerial Sensors, Lifeform Scanners, and Energy Scanners.
- x4 Landing Platforms. Large titanium-durasteel alloy platforms protrude from the top of the vehicle. These platforms have a radius of 10 meters, and can dock either two starfighters or a single shuttle/Freighter. In total: either Eight Starfighters or Four Shuttles/Freighters can be docked here.
- Mobile Home. Twisted Sandcrawlers have a multitude of additional rooms for recreation, business, and comfort. The inside of these vehicles look like mobile palaces. Many of these rooms vary on a case-by-case basis, but the following rooms can be found on most: Cantina Rooms, Gambling Rooms, Shops, Personal Rooms, Armory Rooms, Tinkering Stations, Meeting Rooms, Kitchens, and Dining Rooms.
- Climate Control. As with many other sandcrawler designs, there are climate controls that keep atmosphere and temperature within these large transports comfortable. The temperature can rise and fall as needed by the crew of the vehicle.
- Spacious. The inside of the Twisted Sandcrawler is capable of not only transporting hundreds of people, but housing them as well. Though food is a limited resource, there is plenty of room for a long-term stay.
- Well Defended. Thanks to a combination of heavy armored plating, shields, and large flak cannons, very few would attempt to attack a Twisted Sandcawler directly.
- Aircraft Carrier. A very unique and powerful strength of the Twisted Sandcrawler is it's ability to land ships. Thanks to large top-mounted platforms, people can dock up to Eight Starfighters or Four Shuttles/Freighters.
- Slow and Steady. The Twisted Sandcrawler, while large and defensible, won't be winning a race any time soon. It has very low speed and maneuverability due to it's size and weight, but is efficient at long journeys.
- Very Noticeable. The Twisted Sandcrawler is not only large, but quite loud while moving. It is not stealthy in the slightest, preferring to use it's weapon systems and armor as a deterrent against attack.
- Connected Platforms. The large platforms which allow ships to dock are made of Durasteel and Titanium, but are held to the vehicle with only a couple supports. A direct attack against these platforms could cause them to break off more easily than other parts of the mobile fortress.
The Twisted Sandcrawler was a design created by engineers of the Twisted Sand, for the purpose of housing new members of their growing criminal organization. Additionally, this particular model acts as a base of operations for both launching schemes, and planning other nefarious activities. The inside of the vessel is quite large and elaborate, housing dozens of rooms for both recreation and functionality.
The Twisted Sandcrawler was originally constructed from three regular-sized sandcrawlers that were stripped apart and put back together into one massive vessel. The vehicle was further modified with parts from a republic-era Acclamator-class ship that was found, crashed on the surface of Tatooine. This J3 Super Sandcrawler is powered by three nuclear fission reactors that were taken from the three original sandcrawlers. Currently, Twisted Sand only possesses one of these mobile bases, but their engineers theorize more could be made, if they gain the credits to do so.
