DESCRIPTION
Sith Force Blades are sets of thirteen finely crafted, perfectly symmetrical, double bladed daggers. Approximately thirty two centimeters in length, their entire edge has been honed to a fine point. Because of this, there is no actual hilt, handle, or other means to properly grasp the weapon without subjecting the user's hand to the blade's edge. This is because the blades are not meant to be wielded by normal means. Instead, they are to be held aloft by the user's command of the Dark Side of the Force alone.Force Blades employ a unique style of combat, that takes years to practically master and is unlike much more traditional styles of swordplay such as lightsaber forms. The blades typically orbit the wielder, like moons orbiting a planet. This is meant to mirror the cosmic balance among celestial bodies, reminding the user how infinitesimal they are to the Galaxy itself. From this neutral orbiting stance, the user can make numerous snap decisions on how best to employ their blades.
Fighting a force blade user is similar to fighting a many headed hydra, as a flurry of blades bare down on their foes as if commanded by phantom limbs. A skilled user will slash, thrust, feign, parry, and guard all at once, often simultaneously and even against multiple opponents. It takes immense concentration and skill, precisely manipulating numerous objects with the force in concept while also positioning themselves around the battlefield.
Force Blades can be fought with at close distance like daggers and short blades, thrown through the air like throwing knives, or even used as flying shields to physically block blaster shots. Their cortosis weave finish makes them capable of mitigating most common blaster weapon's bolts, and allows them to successfully parry Lightsabers. Their blades, while honed to a mono-molecular edge, do lot have the raw cutting power of a traditional Lightsaber and are not meant to rival the weapon in sheer strength.
Range and versatility are the greatest strengths of the Force Blades. Their reach is as great as their user's mastery of the Force allows, and their speed and precision follow suit. A novice will struggle just to remember the exact positions, speeds, and trajectory of all their blades at a given moment, whereas a master will be a whirling maelstrom of metal and death. Slicing through far near and far, while barely needing to lift a finger to their foes directly.
LEGALITY
Legal on all planets. The blades themselves do not contain any materials or construction that would provoke customs authorities or armed guards. They are incredibly archaic, and would be looked upon more as relics than capable weaponry. However, what few places recognize ancient Sith designs and markings would likely stop the owner for questioning. INTENT
Intended to be Zylah's primary weapons, an archaic set of blades from an ancient era long forgotten by all but a handful. These are elegant, exotic, and antiquated weapons. They are by no means meant to be superior to modern vibroblade designs or the venerable lightsaber. Quite the opposite, they are inferior weapons used out of a sense of pride and reference to the ancient Sith and the Dark Side of the Force. However, in skilled hands with a well seasoned user they are still deadly and versatile blades. ADVANCED TECH
No. While quite rare, and certainly priceless Sith relics, Sith Force Blades do not possess any advanced tech or notably rare materials in their construction. In their day and age they may have been cutting edge, master forged weaponry, but they are outclassed by modern vibroblade designs in terms of general practicality.
