Emberlene's Daughter, The Jedi Generalist
Intent: To create a duel purpose armored glove combining the functionality of a saber gauntlet and shield gauntlet for Nico
Development Thread:
The Shadow Knows
A Hapen Meeting
Manufacturer: Baktoid/Sasori
Model: Multifunctional gauntlet
Affiliation: Jedi
Modularity: None
Production: Unique
Material: Micronized turadium (on palm of gloves), Duralumin (primary), Armorweave (glove portion)
Description: Designed by Valek before his operation to become Nico and made with the expressed intent of combining a sword and shield for fighting in melee. The former fighter sent the design to his cousin before he disappeared reemerging in the sith briefly. Then again on Nar Shadda in a spice den. He was trying to ease the pain he felt but nothing could help aside from drugs and taking pity upon him. Matsu asked a friend to help.
This led to Valek coming to the jedi temple on Tython just as the archives were being attacked and injured. Quickly he was shuttled away to a medical clinic and given nearly all the surgeries except one that the man requested not be done as of yet. A few weeks later when he was healed, Valek emerged as Nico Ike the cousin of Matsu and Noriko taking up as a padawan within the jedi order and being a little reclusive.
The gauntlets themselves are made as a standard armored gauntlet with armor weave attaching on the underside of the armored plate.There is a finger guard so the blade will not sever them that goes off the knuckles much like on a standard blade. The addition of a bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse with twin rainbow gems allow the single bladed sabers to activate underwater and cycle through the color spectrum.
The shielding part of the gauntlet creates a half meter in diameter energy shield similar to the Deathwatch mini forearm energy shields or the gungan personal energy shield but the most inspiration comes from the Kilian rangers with the major difference being that this isn't just on the off hand. Both gauntlets can create a shield.
The power source of the saber has been modified heavily and designed within the housing. Four diatium power cells are required per gauntlet adding more weight to the weapon but is countered by the lack from saber or shield. The saber and shield cannot be activated at the same time on the same gauntlet. The underside glove is treated with slivers of Micronized turadium to add some minor protection but it doesn't function as the gloves it mirrors. Smacking a blade away might work but trying to stop one would slice the hand. The armorweave doesn't add much more protection then normal.
Strengths: Combination gauntlet, each shield can take up to fifteen blaster bolts
Weakness: Heavy power draw, minor to no lightsaber resistance, little blaster resistance, cannot use saber and shield at same time on same gauntlet
Classification: Lightsaber
Size: Mounted
Length:
Blade: Usually 145 centimeters (non-adjustable)
Gauntlet: 0.35560m
Weight: 2Kg
Other Features: Can stop lightning, deflect lightsabers
Classification: Other
Weight: 2Kg per gauntlet
Quality: 2
Other Feature(s): Micronized turadium on the gloves, circular energy shield
