Onager Gauntlet^[3b]

The Onager Gauntlet is a piece of experimental support equipment developed on Vior'la^[3] used by the Tau Empire.^[1]

First used during the Damocles Crusade to help Crisis Teams against Imperial Guard armoured units in extended operations where ammunition was low, Onager Gauntlets allow a Battlesuit to punch a hole through a battle tank, but the casualty rate attempting these feats is extremely high. Of the twelve original Onager gauntlets, only one now remains after having been recovered from Commander Bravestorm's Battlesuit.^[1]

An Onager Gauntlet is capable of crushing a Space Marine with one blow.^[2]
