Mandalorian manacles

Mandalorian manacles were a type of binders created by members of the Mandalorian culture, who used nearly impervious beskar iron in their construction. The incredible strength afforded to the manacles by the iron ore allowed Mandalorian manacles to compete with the advent of newer binder technology for generations.

A popular export from the planet Mandalore in the centuries prior to the creation of force shackles, Mandalorian manacles were used by Mandalorians and foreigners alike. They became standard equipment for Mandalorian police units, and beskar-made manacles were also favored by criminals and enemies of Force-users like the Knights of the Jedi Order. Bogga the Hutt equipped his henchmen with manacles to hold Jedi captive, manacles used to bind Jedi Master Thon during a skirmish on Ambria; Thon was later freed when his student Nomi Sunrider cut the chains with her lightsaber. Millennia later, following the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial government requisitioned beskar equipment including Mandalorian manacles from the MandalMotors company. Mere decades after, when Jedi Knight Jaina Solo came to the Mandalorians seeking aid in capturing her Sith Lord brother, Darth Caedus, Mandalorian manacles were recommended for his incarceration.
