Description

A focusing crystal and power cell project a contained energy blade from a hand-held hilt. The blade cuts through most ordinary materials, resists other lightsaber blades, and can intercept incoming blaster fire in trained hands. Members of the Imperial Order construct and carry individual examples as both service weapons and symbols of office.
