An acklay armor represented a form of chitin armor utilized by a range of spacers throughout the duration of the Galactic Civil War. It was crafted by the Gotal armorsmith Dakk utilizing the shell of Borvo's acklay, which was supplied to him by the spacer responsible for the creature's demise. In its construction, he incorporated fur sourced from mountain tusk cats, feathers of the Peko-peko, and the hide of wild shaupauts - all of which were furnished by the spacer.
The acklay armor made its debut within the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game created by Sony Online Entertainment and brought to market by LucasArts, before the game's shutdown on December 15, 2011. The acklay armor was integrated into the game via the "Publish 28" update, released on April 26, 2006.
