DESCRIPTION
While ideas of the weapon were developed across the galaxy by many groups independent of each other, the Shapers of Kro Var created a version that allowed them to use the their chosen force elements in conjunction with the weapon. The weighted head of the Javelin is filled with water, heavy rocks, sand, long lasting flammable material like coal seams, or cloying perfumes and blinding or deadly gasses such as Cyanogen. In battle, Shapers with these weapons would manipulate the element to their advantage.
Shapers with Cryokinesis and Hydrokinesis might suddenly shape the water in the javelin and freeze it to make spikes that melt away after a strike, or begin to freeze the target where struck. Those with Terrakinesis could suddenly solidify the sand in the javelin creating powerful thundering blows, or slam the solid rocks inside on the floor to create tremors in the ground. Those with pyrokinesis would light their javelin before use, and have the javelin create miniature explosions of fire on a strike, or begin to create long streaks of fire in the air around themselves. Shapers with Aerokinesis could use the thick perfumes and gasses to create choking clouds around themselves or their opponent, or simply create whirlwinds and gusts with an empty weapon
The complications of using the weapon and force abilities made the weapon difficult to use, and took years and years of training. Some Shapers would devote their entire life to just using the weapon, and using Force abilities would fall to the wayside unless it was in conjuction with the weapon. Use of the weapon takes years of practice to truly become an expert, and to become a master is equivalent to becoming a Jedi Weapon Master. As a result, each Javelin head is a unique creation of the weilder, in the same way a lightsaber is for a Jedi or a Sith.
SoroSuub took inspiration from the Shapers of Kro Var and created a technological version of weapon. By adding a power cell and a small electro shock prod to the weighted head, the weapon could impose a numbness to the target with each strike. While the weapon was still considered exotic across the galaxy, this weapon began to see more use. SoroSuub also implemented a Phrik coated Durasteel Alloy to the chain and head to aid the durability, something the Shapers would in turn use for their own weapons when fighting lightsaber users. Though the chain might get tangled and cut by a lightsaber, the weighted head could still deliver a lethal blow. Later, a lightweight electrified cord was added to reduce the weight of the chain by both SoroSuub and the Shapers.
LEGALITY
Legal, though frowned upon on civilized worldsINTENT
To create a star wars version of a real life martial arts weapon, as well as add to the lore of the Shapers of Kro Var. Also believe this is a weapon I might use with a future character. Also a fun idea of a weapon that works well with Force powers such as Pyrokinesis and Cryrokinesis
