- Classification: Armored Gauntlets
- Weight: Very Light
- 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 with a jedi's friendly droids, or any machinery they might need.
- 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.
- Integrated Manga-Gloves: The integrated magna-gloves within the Saberbreakers 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, with a simple loosening of the fingers.
- OW!: While it's not a weapon in and of itself, the gauntlets can be used as one in a pinch. Not recommended, but ya know, if you're that desperate. It'll wound someone, at the very least. Definitely not a lethal option.
- Catch this!: While originally designed with lightsabers in mind, other melee weapons are perfectly able to be caught with these.
- Modular As Hecc: The saberbreaker's computers are designed to be removed if the want for a more low tech design is requested, as is it's other systems. Or, if you want, you can beef it up with vambrace attachments.
- Hidden Electronics: The Electronic systems are all hidden behind a plate of songsteel and reinforced duraplast, allowing the user to flip up and use them when needed, or hide them when in heavy combat.
- Saberbreaker: The gauntlet with originally designed with one purpose in mind: Disable lightsabers. The blades of the gauntlet are made with phrik, while the inside of the fang is lined with cortosis weave, allowing any saber caught to be shorted out.
- Swordcatcher: A traditional melee weapon caught in the blades will be left to the whim of the user of this utility, allowing the user to manipulate and potentially snap the weapon of an opponent.
- Padded: Allowing for direct strikes to be negated, the sSaberbreaker has a built in padding system, allowing kinetic strikes to feel like a light tap, instead of a baseball bat to the forearm.
- Deployable: Designed to be hidden within a gauntlet, the Saberbreaker ejects out when needed.
- Catch These-OW!: The ability to deploy these blades gives a hidden bonus. It can be used defensively to block hand to hand strikes, potentially wounding an opponent in the process.
- Vibroweapons: While a glancing blow can bounce off the phrik, catching one or receiving a solid hit could damage the blades.
- Ranged Weapons: This utility is not designed to protect against ranged attacks.
- Armored Target: Using this to strike back against melee attacks is cool, but if their hand is armored, it's probably not gonna do anything.
Originally designed by Jedi Knight Jonyna Si in her free time, the Cathar built and presented this addition to traditional NJO armor to the council, gifting them it as a bonus to their arsenal. Now free for anyone within the GA to implement, the Saberbreaker acts as a hidden defense against melee attacks of all kinds. Catching a lightsaber in it's phrik fangs, the blade would then be led into the inside of the inside of the fangs which are lined with cortosis weave that then short out the saber, ideally. If not, the blade is then stuck and can be handled by the gauntlet's user freely until the blade is turned off. Works the same for traditional melee weapons.
In the last three years, Jonyna has slowly upgraded the standard gauntlets, allowing her fellow jedi a leg up in combat.
