Magnacuffs, which are also referred to as magnetic cuffs, represent a form of restraint technology utilized by both the Galactic Empire and the New Republic. Imperial soldiers who had been captured were secured with magnacuffs in the aftermath of the Battle of Naalol. After a failed recon mission on Akiva, Captain Wedge Antilles, a starfighter pilot for the New Republic, found himself restrained by magnacuffs during his imprisonment by Imperial forces at the Satrap's Palace located in Myrra. During an assault led by New Republic pilot Norra Wexley that caused a power outage at the Satrap's Palace, Antilles' magnacuffs ceased functioning, enabling a short-lived escape before he was once again restrained.
