Legend

when Luke Skywalker battled Darth Vader aboard the second Death Star, Luke severed Vader's right hand in a lightsaber duel. It was thought that the hand was lost, flung into deep space when the Death Star exploded near Endor. The Prophets of the Dark Side foretold that it would be found by the next ruler of the galaxy. It was also beleived that the glove wsa indestructible. Captain Dunwell later found the glove in a piece of Death Star wreckage on Calamari. It was believed by Trioculus that the glove also gave the wearer the power to choke a victim without actually touching them, although this was proved false when Trioculus couldn't do it. Emdee-5 then modified the glove to perform a similar duty when Trioculus aimed it, to cover up Trioculus' lack of Force sensitivity.
