Description The clans are located in an oasis in the desert. Most of the area is surrounded by empty desert with the occasional outcrop of plants. Despite it's bleak look, many animals thrive here, allowing the clans to continue on for generations.



Duneclan:
Camp: The camp is located in a large underground cave which is sheltered from the winds. Prey is stored in the lower, cooler tunnels to keep it fresh. Nests are usually made up of moss that grows inside the caves.

Dens:
Leader- A cave located above the Sharpstone, the place of meeting.
Medicine Cat- A cave located at the back of the cave near the nursery.
Warriors- A short tunnel with a wide, open entrance. Located near one fo the entrances.
Apprentices- A cave located between the warriors den and nursery.
Nursery- A series of holes located in the back of the cave. Queens usually nest on their own or in pairs in each one.
Elder- A pile of rubble that's been hollowed out. Located between the warriors' den and Leader's.
There are also sleeping areas available in a branching tunnel where guests and prisoners will often sleep.
1) Talon Mountain- A large rocky cliff which resembles the curved claws of a hawk. It is a common nesting place for birds and the ground around it often houses ground squirrels.
2) The Echoes- A sheltered cave which houses strange markings on the walls. They appear to be made by ancient twolegs and they tell the story of the stars. Cats say if you sleep here, you'll dream of ancient tabbies who lived before twolegs build their nests.

Outside the Clans:
9) Galaxy Cave- The sacred place of the clans. This where the medicine cats meet up every half moon and new leaders travelled here to receive their nine lives. It is a large cavern that is filled with shallow water. There is a dry spot in the center where the hole in the roof allows moonlight to shine through. Cats are to sleep in this spot and dream of Starclan.
10) Twoleg Fortress- An old wooden fortress that is frequenty by twolegs. There is a campground nearby that twolegs often camp at, bringing their kittypets. The fortress itself is a hotspot for loners as the twolegs allow them to stay to act as mousers.

They should have advanced to some other clan's territory.
Basically meaning more food and territory. 
They can simply wait for the enemy to attack and since the enemy wont be used to the desert,they would already suffer heavy casuilties meanwhile the clan would have had men and woman clan members that were used to that weather and could easily ambush them and defeat them.

Are you talking about Duneclan? When the clans were first founded, Duneclan wasn't as empty as it is now. The cats settled down there because they found they liked the open spaces and tunnels that protected them. Nowadays they remain there out of tradition and pride. They have a lot of unique skills that other clans do not, including being able to walk across shifting sands, navigating using the stars and position of the sun and others. 

Sure they could move, but they have no real reason to. Unless forest clans, desert clans have a different view on the world. Death is common here and the cats are happy with survival. They don't need to thrive or feast to be happy.
