DESCRIPTION
This lightsaber was constructed by the Imperial Knight Ailis Drast. The length of the hilt is longer than a traditional lightsaber hilt by approximately half again, but shorter than a traditional saberstaff. A hybrid design that is appropriately classified as a battle staff, the design exists somewhere between a single handed lightsaber and a traditional saberstaff.
The hilt design is intended to function within both roles, short enough to be handled as a single bladed lightsaber with one or two hands, while being long enough for flexible and skillful use as a double bladed lightsaber. The longer hilt in particular when used with a single blade allows for a more dynamic two handed grip and greater leverage in strikes and binds.
Ailis Drast's battle staff possesses two yellow Dantari kyber crystals retrieved from a kinrath egg on Dantooine. This gives the battle staff a pair of yellow blades, each possessing their own power sources which will allow the blades to function independently if the hilt were to be severed in half during combat. The blades are activated by a pair of buttons, the primary blade being activated by a button near the primary emitter at the top. The button to activate the secondary blade is located near the 'pommel', though the second blade can also be activated via the primary activation button with a long press. A third button located beneath the primary ignition button switches the blades between lethal and training modes.
