Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
- "I'm surprised you didn't recognize this other addition from the Covenant's own stores of Sith relics! The Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger—while I have it, no one may touch me without my consent!"
- ―Haazen, explaining the device on his mechanical arm[src]
The Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger was a Sith artifact of the old Sith Empire. Worn on the arm of the user, the Gauntlet had the power to prevent others from touching the wearer without his or her consent. By 3,963 BBY, it had fallen into possession of the Jedi Covenant and its leader, the fallen Jedi Haazen.
Haazen, when revealing his true allegiance to the dark side of the Force during the destruction of the Draay Estate, used the Gauntlet to great effect against attacks by Lucien Draay. After former Padawan Zayne Carrick apparently defeated Lucien in a duel, he approached Haazen in order to accept the darksider's offer to join him. However, it was only a clever ruse devised for Zayne to be able to cut off the arm upon which Haazen wore the Gauntlet. Utilizing the added link to the Vanjervalis Chain, Lucien was able to direct the orbital bombardment away from the Jedi Temple and towards Haazen himself. Both Lucien and Haazen were caught in the blast, but while Haazen perished, Lucien survived thanks to the power of the Gauntlet, which he was still clutching at the time.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Judging by the name, the gauntlet might have belonged to some relative of ancient Sith Lord Ludo Kressh or even Kressh himself, since only his surname is said in relation to the gauntlet.
