The Needles, or Needles Range, was a section that marked the center of the Jundland Wastes on Tatooine by two large rock formations jutting upwards from the desert. Many Tusken Raider clans of twenty to thirty individuals returned annually to their traditional encampments in the Needles to wait out the dangerous sandstorm season. For a time, a Krayt dragon inhabited one of the mountains and laid a clutch of eggs in one of its caverns. This beast was later slain by Sharad Hett's son, A'Sharad, during his test to become a full member of their Tusken clan.
