The stun gauntlet was a heavy-duty glove that delivered an electric shock upon impact. Due to circuitry interwoven throughout the stun gauntlet, electricity was transferred from the energy cells to the impact point, and caused the weapon to glow with electrical energy when activated. One of the known manufacturers of stun gauntlets was Palandrix, which claimed to have made a stun gauntlet variety for virtually all known sentient species.
