The Gauntlet was a light-speed Cannon that was capable of eliminating hyperspace targets. It was created using the power and materials extracted by the Sun Razer in the Vesla system. One of its notable designers was Colonel Rebus. Using the Sun Razer, the resurgent Sith Empire was able to complete its creation in years instead of decades. All the projects fueled by the Sun Razer were overseen by Darth Mekhis and discovered by Theron Shan and Jedi Master Ngani Zho upon their infiltration and capture in the Vesla system.
