Power gloves represented a specific category of glove.
These power gloves were specialized, slender, and energized gloves employed by stormtroopers primarily for close-quarters combat, frequently during prisoner restraint scenarios. A stormtrooper equipped with these gloves could physically overpower a resistant Trandoshan detainee, a situation exemplified by the handling of Bossk.
Within Hapes society, the usage of power gloves, along with other armor components, was a common practice during formal honor duels. The energized nature of these gloves allowed for the delivery of severe electrical shocks and bone fractures to opponents; the impact of a strike produced a sound akin to the suppressed discharge of a slugthrower, with the resulting force sufficient to propel a fully grown adult male several meters backward.
