DESCRIPTION​

These two lightsabers are almost identical. They are made out of the same lightsaber-resistant materials, and can produce blades with 3 length settings each. Both sabers come with the optional training mode that intensifies the magnetic fields and limits the damage to light singes. The hilts can also interlock to produce a saber-staff. The main differences are the sizes of the hilts, and the colors of the blades: light-blue for the longer hilt, mint-green for the shorter.

A Zeltron Jedi Master Nykoria "Kori" Tallis constructed these weapons to replace her original lost split-saber. The new sabers were built during Kori's captivity and an unlikely expedition into the Unknown Regions, where accompanied her supposed jailor—Alyse Ti'Varnus, a human Sith Lord. Alyse grew to trust the Zeltron after a couple of close calls together. So much so, that she allowed Kori to fashion a weapon, offered design suggestions, and even provided the materials.

These sabers started as a tribute. On an oceanic world once visited by a Jedi of old, Nykoria was guided by the Force to an ancient buried box with kyber crystals. Destined for the Padawans who had been slaughtered before they had a chance to build their first sabers, the crystals resonated with the Jedi Master, who had lost some of her own students in the Sith attack on Ajan Kloss. The crystals would serve as the hearts of the two weapons, producing their blades of variable length and lending those blades the almost-traditional Jedi colors, albeit with slight deviations.

The tribute continued in some of the design decisions. Because Nykoria was still a "captive" and didn't have her own money at the time, it was up to Alyse to fund and occasionally even source the parts. The Sith scholar suggested a historical theme with practical applications. The emitter and grip were fashioned after the legendary lightsabers of Luke and Anakin Skywalker respectively, providing a better grasp at the same time.

True to the approach of her own Master, Kori wanted to be as versatile as possible and opted for a split-saber. However, the limitations on parts and crystals available resulted in the hilts of different sizes and the blades of different colors. It took some extra tinkering with the balance to make the sabers convenient to use, both independently or in the interlocked state.

But still, Kori and Alyse introduced enough of their own know-how. The Governor of Bakura insisted on the more expensive materials like phrik, chromium, and electrum; something that Nykoria hadn't used in her sabers before. Another deviation is that Kori prefers to use the sabers separately, unlike her old Master. The Zeltron usually opts for a standard-length blue lightsaber and a green shoto. However, their roles can be swapped as needed.

The resulting lightsabers serve not so much as weapons, but rather as symbols of Nykoria finally finding her center: dedication to the Light; memories of the mistakes caused by her arrogance and shortsightedness; but also the hope that comes with her old convictions and new allegiances.

LEGALITY​

Legal wherever lightsabers are legal. A lightsaber is usually only as dangerous as a vibroblade, and less dangerous than blasters. Yet it is also a rare and expensive item. It may draw unwanted attention on some worlds or from some individuals.

INTENT​

To describe the lightsabers that Nykoria constructed after she lost her original one.

RESTRICTIONS​

None; however, lightsabers aren't mass-produced and are usually one-of-a-kind.
