Corrosive charge

Corrosive charges were a type of volatile chemical weapon. A group of Trandoshans who took over a medicine production facility on the moon Lessa-7 used the chemicals from the stomach of a sarlacc to create corrosive charges. The smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca were sent to Lessa-7 by Jabba the Hutt to purchase some of the corrosive charges, but during the process discovered that the Trandoshans had been enslaving the Wookiees who formerly owned the facility and freed them, ending the Trandoshans' operation. Regardless, the Wookiees, the facility once again under their control, allowed the smugglers to take the last remaining corrosive charge for free.
