An acklay armor was a type of chitin armor that was used by various spacers during the Galactic Civil War. It was made by the Gotal armorsmith Dakk from the carapace of Borvo's acklay, brought to him by the spacer who had killed the creature. He used fur from mountain tusk cats, Peko-peko feathers and hide from feral shaupauts provided by the spacer in the process.[1]
Behind the scenes
The acklay armor appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[3] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4] The acklay armor was added to the game with the release of the "Publish 28," on April 26, 2006.[5]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE)
- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
