- Integrated Power Paw: Integrated into the gauntlet, a set of sonic boxing gloves that allow the user to throw a punch, and an accompanying sonic pulse will follow.
- Integrated SaberBreakers: Integrated into the gauntlets, are a pair of retractable claws made of phrik and Cortosis weave, allowing the user to catch, and then disable the blade of an opposing lightsaber.
- Integrated Portable Computer: Installed with AEGIS SHIELD and TUNNELNET, the computer allows the user to access plenty of systems, if only the user knows how to use it. This also allows any armor the user wears to link up with the gauntlets, allowing for system integration.
- Integrated Grapple Line: Modified from grapple launchers in the past, the Tiger Claw's system functions through an extremely powerful magnetic launcher, that fires off the line with enough power to lodge the spike of the line into heavy duracrete, or even durasteel.
- Integrated Droid Brain: The Tiger Claw's computer systems are ran mostly by a recycled droid brain of a B1 that Jonyna once was friends with. Designed to allow the user to make tactical decisions incredibly quickly, the system allows those who are technologically disinclinded to user advanced features without having to worry about silly things like "pressing the right buttons".
- Integrated Manga-Gloves: The integrated magna-gloves within the Tiger Claws allow the user to keep whatever metallic item they are holding to stay in their hand, despite attempts to tear it out of it. This can be disabled or enabled on a whim, the AI's systems designed to read the user's wants.
- Integrated Holo-Projector: Allowing the user to communicate with other jedi or such people, the holo-projector can be used for communication, or to play any sort of hologram. Fun for long missions where you can stream holo-dramas.
- Hidden Electronics: The Electronic systems are all hidden behind a plate of songsteel and city-wood, allowing the user to flip up and use them when needed, or hide them when in heavy combat.
- Armored Up: The thin plates, first songsteel, then city-wood, then reinforced duraplast, allow the Tiger Claw to act as a sturdy piece of armor that can deflect plenty of attacks before breaking.
- Padded: Allowing for direct strikes to be negated, the Tiger Claw has a built in padding system, allowing kinetic strikes to feel like a light tap, instead of a baseball bat to the forearm.
- Forceful Protection: The Tiger Claw is specifically imbued with the Force, allowing it to deflect and defend against Force Based Attacks, as well as allowing it to prevent being removed via telekinesis.
- Nonstandard Attacks: The Tiger Claw is designed to deal with standard offensive strategies. Should an opponent have more unconventional attacks, such as acid, radiation, or disruptors, the Tiger Claw will be of no help.
- Unhelpful Assistant: The droid brain is designed from a B1. This means it's default response to most problems is 'kill it'. Occasionally, this means you might have to argue with the AI.
- Complicated Systems: Without the AI to help, the systems of the Tiger Claw is quite complicated, and any failure in the system could mean having to return it to Si Tech for repairs.
With the Onset of war with the Dark Empire, Jonyna once more acts to upgrade her gear, and her family's gear to allow them to have the advantage. Having
Rara Gowisi
combine a handful of Si Tech inventions, to create a set of gauntlets that would allow the Si Tribe to survive this war much better.
