Glove of Darth Vader

The Glove of Darth Vader was a gauntlet of reputedly indestructible material that the Sith Lord wore upon his right hand. During the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker severed Darth Vader's hand with his lightsaber, and the cybernetic appendage was cast aside. Soon after, the Death Star battle-station was destroyed and Vader’s glove was presumably lost. The glove survived however, ensnared within a piece of wreckage that landed on the watery world, known as Dac.

In 5 ABY, The false Prophet of the Dark Side known as Kadann foretold that the chosen heir to the Galactic Empire would present himself bearing the glove of Darth Vader. The Imperial Grand Moff, Bertroff Hissa, took advantage of this alleged prophecy and used it to proclaim a mutant-human known as Trioculus as the new Emperor. Hiss presented Trioculus as the son of the late Emperor Palpatine at the Kessendra Stadium on Kessel. Trioculus, embarked upon a mission to recover the glove of Darth Vader. Its value as a symbol was of little use to the three-eyed mutant, but its use as a weapon was incalculable.

It was his belief, that the glove was actually a mystical relic that provided its wearer with the ability to telekinetically attack others from a distance. Trioculus was ignorant of the fact that Vader’s ability to choke his victims at long range, was an aspect of his aptitude with the Force, and had nothing at all to do with his glove.

Trioculus recruited an unscrupulous Whaladon hunter named Captain Dunwell to ferry him through the Valley of the Giant Oysters on Dac. He personally donned a submersible wetsuit and retrieved the glove of Darth Vader from a twisted pile of wreckage, left over from the Death Star.

Rebel Alliance heroes, Admiral Ackbar and Luke Skywalker piloted a Calamarian minisub into the valley and intercepted Dunwell’s ship. Trioculus attempted to use the "power" of Darth Vader's glove against Skywalker, but to no effect. Skywalker survived Trioculus’ attacks and succeeded in destroying Captain Dunwell’s ship. Trioculus however, escaped with the glove.
