Stilltent

A stilltent was a specialised type of tent used to sleep in the deep desert of Arrakis. It was usually placed under a layer of sand. The tissue was airtight, so the humidity created inside could be kept and gathered, like a stillsuit or a wind-trap did. This equipment was fundamental in traveling and surviving on Arrakis.

Stilltents are often included as part of a Fremkit.
