The Queen's Gauntlet
The Queen's Gauntlet, was literally created to be a copy of the Zageti Antgal Gauntlet, a recreation made some hundred or so years after the original gauntlet fell into obscurity.
While the gauntlet that inspired the creation of the Queen's Gauntlet had a creation story shrouded in myth, the Queen's Gauntlet's own creation story was much clearer. Created by King Siris II for his second wife, he intended to have it help protect her against attack from other Sith upset with the current regime.
The gauntlet's powers are just what one would expect from such a legendary weapon. It can absorb any energy used to attack it (blaster, Force, grenade, etc) and then redirect it back through the Force.
Location wise, the Queen's Gauntlet was lost alongside the body of Queen Gartha Evants-Drast after her assassination at the hands of her sister wife. Unknown to all but the most dedicated follows of the Drasts, her body was moved to Zakuul for burial by her husband, both the Queen's Gauntlet and the Queen's own Death Mask surrendered to the planet with her body.
It is worn as a gauntlet, obviously, and is lightsaber resistant, intended for this sort of combat. Upon coming in contact with a form of energy (lightsaber, blaster bolt, Force, etc.) it absorbs it—except in the case of lightsabers, where it instead absorbs the energy of the blade without extinguishing it—and then shoots it back out upon the user's command. Waiting even a few seconds can cause the energy to dissipate, so it is strongest immediately after absorbing the attack. It is usually worn in the offhand to be most useful, though the hand holding the gauntlet is capable of holding a lightsaber.
Due to its power, the Gauntlet is difficult to wield consecutively, since it can be overwhelmed. Therefore, it needs to cool down after being used (1 post CD), and if used a maximum of 2 times (in a thread) it becomes useless for the next few days as it recharges, making it as useful as an average lightsaber-resistant duelling gauntlet.
