DESCRIPTION
The first saber crafted by Jedi Rishe Vakren to replace the inherited weapon of her former master and to accommodate an unorthodox saber style formed in the wake of her injury. Made in the image of a Makashi dueling saber, it was built with single-handed use in mind, though some extra length allows for both hands to provide leverage if necessary, making it effective and versatile against other melee weapons. However, the design makes deflecting blaster fire and some other utilitarian uses quite awkward.

It displays a surprising amount of craftsmanship and effort from someone with few applicable skills for it, with an aesthetic design and mechanical considerations to make it mimic dueling blades used on Serenno while still retaining the qualities of a lightsaber. It is also a rigid, relatively simple design, being a single-phase blade with a length only adjustable by a plasteel knob placed below the emitter, a single button for activation, and a trigger to adjust the three power settings. The crystal housing can be slid open to expose or replace the kyber within, as well as providing a textured grip for a user's hand.

Such a simple and elegant design hides a brute force beneath it, as the unused space in more complex lightsabers is utilized with a pair of additional energy cells forming the end and pommel of the blade, and can be activated for bursts of unstable energy. These cells influence the saber's training mode, elevating it from something mild to more of a begrudging non-lethality. In this way, the weapon mirrors the user's own philosophy. The lightsaber being a lethal weapon with weight, and its use must be a decision made after other solutions have either failed or are impossible.



LEGALITY
Legal where lightsabers are legal.
