Affiliation: Anyone
Ownership: Senator H’Skirr, though anyone would be able to use it.
Intent: Generally when someone is using a melee weapon, it’s either one of two things: a lightsaber or a vibroblade. The variety of melee weapons within the SW’s universe is quite broad, but those used on the forum are quite limited, and, as such, I’d like to be able to increase the variety of the weapons used! The purpose of the weapon is to add another CQC option for those who’d like to be able to switch between lethal and stunning settings, and don’t have either the resources, or the requisite force talent to have a lightsaber.
Model: Electroblade
Type: Electromagnetic Melee Weapon
Size: The average blade is thirty two inches in length, but it can vary greatly depending on the height of the person using it. I.e. smaller species would have smaller variations, and larger species, larger variations. The appearance of the blade will also vary on the preference of the user.
Composition: The primary element present in the weapon is a lightsaber resistant phrik alloy with electronic components. Namely a pair of focusing rods line the blade that feed into a power cell and an electromagnetic field generator located in the hilt and guard of the weapon, which, in turn, energizes the power cycling coil. This creates the power field, which is typically displayed as crackling yellow or purple energy.
Features:
- Variable settings, from stun to lethal*
- Lightsaber resistant composition
- The ability to switch off the field, leaving a basic sharpened edge
- A non-conductive sheath, just in case the weapon is accidentally activated when stowed away
- Variety. Variety is the spice of life.
- You cannot deflect blaster bolts with it. Don’t try.
*Requires direct contact, no glancing or slashing blows.
