When those little fellas found these parts they also came across parts of a floating barge which had been blown to pieces in a huge blast. They only managed to salvage a few parts that had not been completely destroyed. They also came across the dead remains of what was known as the mighty sarlacc. It had been ripped open from the inside by some sort of flame thrower device, they followed a set of foot prints that led them to this armour which had been tossed aside It seemed to be badly damaged crushed by Sarlacc's tentacles and scarred by stomach acids. The foot prints then went further, then they just stopped dead as if whoever had been wearing the armour had grown wings and had just flown away . . . .
