| [[Sapphire Blade]] - The blade itself is actually four blades fashioned from a deep blue sapphire found only on the world of Enon in the Decim system. The planet's harsh environment restricts mining of these gems to only one month per year. Since the supply is so limited, only the best of craftsmen work on the blades. Once created, it is affixed to a custom hilt at the climax of the award ceremony.
| | '''Description:''' This stunning sapphire blade is cast in the ancient style of the gladius paying homage to those fierce warriors of another time. The shank is struck through with titanium inclusions lending a hypnotically deep azure hue to the weapon. The blade’s surface features one powerful ridge running either side of its length adding both strength and beauty. The sapphire itself is synthetically formed from a large crystal boule and laser-cut to the desired specifications. It is then set into a hilt of rare Mandalorian iron which is wrapped in Firaxan shark skin over knurled ridges. The large, round pommel counterweights the marvelously simple weapon and is engraved on the bottom by two simple words in Sith runes: “In Darkness”. |
