Crushgaunt/Legends

The crushgaunt was a Mandalorian gauntlet designed to augment its wearers strength.

Developed by the Mandalorian Mercs, the armored glove used an unknown technology to enhance the natural hand-arm strength of its wearer. Its name was earned from the wearer's new ability to crush bone, metal or any other material with relative ease. Made of micronized Mandalorian iron, a crushgaunt was difficult to damage or destroy. The use of crushgaunts to collapse throats, bray skulls and shatter bones spoke tomes of the ethical depravity of the Mercs.

The crushgaunt was later outlawed by the Mandalorians themselves at least 250 years before the Battle of Yavin, although it was brought back into use by the Mandalorian Death Watch.

Unconfirmed reports hinted that at least one of Darth Vader's black gauntlets was a long-lost Sith-imbued crushgaunt.
