Can be activated to induce electrical shock to stunhttps://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Stun/Legends whatever, or whoever, is held in its grasp. Electrical current is enough to effectively subdue average humanoid (think taser).
Strength Augmentation
Shocking Finale (Electrical shock can be activated and applied to whatever, or whoever is grasped in the glove. Effectively, this is a taser)
Sure Grip (These gloves act similarly in regards to the Mandalorian crushgaunt by augmenting the wearer’s strength beyond a level natural to them)
Resistive (Because of the incorporation of duramesh as a foundation, these gloves are highly resistive to a wide array of effects. The rubber allows a higher resistance to electrical base concerns, however, was primarily brought on as a safe against a misfiring of the specialty taser system used in the glove)
Overload (These gloves can be overloaded which would render both specialty features inert)
Heavy Handed (Because of the duramesh as a foundation, these gloves are heavier than a normal pair of gloves their size. Can also slightly inhibit wrist rotation, though not overly so)
It has long been in the interests of Valnora Enterprise to expand on the dated technology of the Mandalorians of old and their utilization of the crushgaunthttps://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Crushgaunt which allowed them the enhancement of their grip strength. So when the uncovering of a pair of these dated relics came upon the engineers of Valnora Arms, they wasted little time in discovering new and more effective applications for what had proven effective for the honor-bound warrior centuries beforehand. Their efforts produced what eventually came to be known as the “Inhibitor Gloves,” a technological advancement upon their predecessor.
The product that had been designed by Valnora Enterprise, incorporated the same effects of their predecessor with heavily augmented grip strength, but also expanded by including a new feature into the new and improved gloves. Utilizing the theory behind various electrical-based weaponry (to include stun staffshttps://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Stun-staff, stun batons and electrostaffs) the engineers of Valnora Arms sought an additional pathway for the next iteration of the archaic Mandalorian relic. It took time to effectively implement this new feature, however, with time, they made way of it and managed the inclusion of a taser-like system. This allowed for a non-lethal means to bring about the end of a fight. And if used in the hands of a master martial artist, would likely spell a swift end at that.
Because of the cost to produce these gloves, their production has been limited to minor, as the corporation seeks to manage its assets and drive a profit instead of digging a deficit.
