Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan
History
This alchemical Sith Sword was used by Shar Dakhan, first under the rule of Sith Lord Marka Ragnos, and later under Naga Sadow. The weapon was forged by Dakhan as a test of ascension to lesser Sith Lord status.
Later, one of the Sith Arts Academy expeditions from Thule in the ancient times recovered it from Shar Dakhan's tomb on Korriban. The Sword was brought to the Sith Museum in the city of Hurom on the planet Thule as a cultural relic.
Anaxela wielded this artifact-level Sith sword from the time of Marka Ragnos. She stole it from the museum on Thule in the city of Hurom.
During the True Brotherhood's invasion of the Orian System, she used it in battle against Trevarus Caerick and Darth Vexatus. Shan Long emerged in the course of the battle and captured the sword by biting her hand off. She fled, and the Masters presented the Sword to then Consul Macron Sadow to store in the collective Clan Naga Sadow Vault. It has rumored to have been used in secret by Shan Long, but this is unknown.
