This article is based on canon information, but the article's title is conjectural and/or uses descriptions as the title, as there is currently no official name for the subject.
An activated torture manacle.

Torture manacles[1][2] are a piece of Covenant technology used to physically restrain an individual.[3] The Banished later used this technology to restrain prisoners, as well.[4]

Overview[edit]

When activated, the torture manacles emits a blue ring of energy around one of the limbs of an individual, and levitates in a fixed position, making it extremely difficult to move. The manacles also have the ability to electrocute the restrained individual.[2][3] Torture manacles used by the Banished emitted orange-red rings of energy, but otherwise served the exact same function.[4]

Usage history[edit]

In October 2552, a pair of torture manacles were used to restrain Thel 'Vadamee while he was branded with the Mark of Shame.[3] Sali 'Nyon was bound by a set of torture manacles when he was captured by Jul 'Mdama's forces in July 2558.[5] During the Battle for Zeta Halo, Spartan Hudson Griffin and Fernando Esparza were restrained inside Banished torture machines by torture manacles.[4]
