Sacramental Awards

From Wikipedia of the Dark Brotherhood, an online Star Wars Club

Sacramental Awards

Sacramental Awards are high-level awards bestowed upon those members who show the strongest loyalty and dedication to their unit and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood over an extended period of time. The details of a project or length of activity determine which sacramental can be granted, some of which are only awarded by the Grand Master. Members holding sacramentals are among the best the Brotherhood offers, and most sacramental awards can also be used fictionally and in the Antei Combat Centre as weapons.

It is important to note that there is no hard-and-fast rule on awarding a Sacramental. It is, however, highly recommended that members review the past distribution of the award to get an idea of an ideal awarding scenario for their current members. It is understood that the greater the award, the more significant the contribution to House, Clan, or Brotherhood as a whole.

Sapphire Blade

The Sapphire Blade is a weapon fashioned in the style of a gladius short sword. It is versatile as a bladed melee weapon and falls between a long two-handed sword and a dagger. They are forged with the blade a hypnotically deep azure colour that is durable and capable of dissipating blaster bolts.

The recipient of a Sapphire Blade has shown consistent and long-term service to their Clan or Brotherhood position. Such services however cannot be seen until taken on a whole, each individual part seen as one. The Sapphire Blade can also be rewarded for extraordinary amounts of activity in a large-scale competition such as the Great Jedi War, where the very best are rewarded for their efforts.

Amethyst Kukri

The Amethyst Kukri is a bladed weapon designed for chopping and hacking rather than slashing or stabbing. Elegantly crafted from a solid piece of amethyst and elegantly flowing from tip to pommel. The chemistry of the blade itself allows it to deflect blaster bolts or disruptors but will break under the powerful energy of a lightsaber blade.

Much can be accomplished when one focuses on a specific task, whether it be leading a Clan or working on various projects for the Dark Council. When such work reaches levels of exceptional value, a token of appreciation is needed to honor such tasks. As such, bearers of this award have shown their dedication and focus on furthering one aspect of the Brotherhood far beyond what was expected of them

Ruby Scepter

The Ruby Scepter is a beautiful ornate award given to the most outstanding mentors of the Brotherhood. It is crafted of precious materials and etched with ancient texts unique to each version crafted. Either end of the scepter is a firelight ruby from Antei. It is weighty and solidly built, making it useful as a bludgeon without precedent but hardly considered a weapon.

Ruby Specter recipients have demonstrated their value to the whole Brotherhood through extreme dedication to one or more specific aspects of the organization. This can include service as a Dark Councillor, or service on a major Brotherhood project.

Emerald Dagger

The Emerald Dagger is a bladed weapon fashioned after the asymmetrical blade of a kris. Crafted from solid emerald and hardened, creating a solid edge that can blunt or damage other common blades.

The Emerald Dagger is awarded to those who have shown themselves to truly bring something new to their given position. However, their actions are not to be solely consigned to their specific House or Clan, but instead, must show that they have had an impact outside of their respective work. One who receives the Emerald Dagger will be known to the Brotherhood at large, their impressive array of work standing the test of time.

Diamond Sword

The Diamond Sword is a weapon forged from phrik alloys and impregnated with diamond along its edges, making it one of the strongest and sharpest blades in existence. The weapon’s hilt is forged in intense heat and wrapped in Krayt hide. It is a weapon whose formidability is matched only by a lightsaber.

To receive the coveted Diamond Sword, a member of the Brotherhood must have shown an impressive array of talents and qualities over a considerable length of time. Such a member will have been active personally throughout their career, continually striving for more; they will have shown leadership abilities over a wide range of positions throughout the Brotherhood; they will have been a mentor to numerous other members, helping them along their path; they will be a pillar of the Brotherhood, without any blemishes on their record. These are the recipients of the Diamond Sword.

Silver Sash

The Silver Sash is a finely woven blend of fabrics embedded with flakes of Mandalorian Iron, giving it the unique ability to resist damage by a lightsaber blade. Typically not considered a weapon, but finds use as a defensive tool in battle by some, typically worn as either a scarf, waist-sash or arm guard.

Recipients of the Silver Sash will have served the Brotherhood for many years, often in various capacities, and their names will go down in history as some of our most remarkable members.

Golden Lightsaber

The Golden Lightsaber is the ultimate recognition of one’s service to the Brotherhood. With all the functionality of a lightsaber and a painstakingly crafted hilt plated entirely in the rarest electrum from pommel to shroud. The unique design of the emitter reaches out to bring the blade into perfect harmonic balance. The blade has a distinctive golden hue that radiates brightly from the alchemically treated generator crystal when activated.

The recipients of the Golden Lightsaber have displayed the most fantastic forms of ability, service and sacrifice for the Brotherhood. Others pale in comparison to what the holders of this award have accomplished.

Members who have obtained a Golden Lightsaber can display it as their custom lightsaber on their dossier.
