Lightsabers are weapons available to Force using members, whether or not they are aligned to the dark side or the light.
How they work
By using special crystals and a complex hilt, A beam of cutting light (much like a laser) is generated in the shape of a sword. Lightsaber blades can cut through almost anything, excluding other lightsabers, cortosis (which shuts down a lightsaber) as well as phrik alloy and mandalorian Iron which both resist the cut of a lightsaber.
Obtaining a Lightsaber
In the Dark Brotherhood, members first gains access to a training lightsaber when they join, but they are not permitted to have a Lightsaber displayed on his or her Dossier until they have reached the rank of Protector. At that time they are permitted the use of armory lightsabers, provided they meet certain criteria. These lightsabers are not as powerful as the regular, but are a valuable training tool.
Once knighted, they are allowed to fabricate their lightsaber using a special, web-based tool which allows them to pick through many different hilts, colors, and blade colors.
Furthermore, members that reach Equite 1 gain access to basic double bladed lightsabers, and a basic double bladed lightsaber.
Combat
Fighting with lightsabers is a test of skill. Many millennia have passed in generation of very specialized and effective forms of, including methods on how to utilize dual lightsabers and the double bladed lightsaber to their best abilities.
Even more rare than those who have the training to use two lightsabers at once, or use the double-sided lightsaber, are those few who have been awarded the Golden Lightsaber.
Custom Lightsabers
At the Equite 2 rank, a member is permitted to fabricate their own single lightsaber from raw parts. This is commonly called a Custom Lightsaber, in that they are generally very unique to the user, and hand crafted. Beyond that rank, further options for customization are availible.
The Herald is the Dark Council member who is responsible for creating and uploading custom lightsaber images.
