STRENGTHS
- Brilliant Blade: Lightsaber blades can cut through most anything.
- Versatile: With both duel-phase and duel-mode switches, as well as a training saber setting and underwater functionality, this lightsaber is built for any circumstance.
- Force Activated: While still featuring a physical button, this lightsaber can also be activated via the Force itself.
- Cutting Prowess: In katana blade mode, the blade is even better and faster at cutting and slicing than a normal lightsaber. While is cannot handle beskar, cortosis, and similar lightsaber resistant metals, it is far more capable of cutting through other solid metals.
- Cortosis: Cortosis will short out the blade if contact is made.
- Beskar: Metals such as beskar and songsteel can resist the blade, even in katana mode.
- Blocking: In the katana mode, lightsaber bolts are more difficult to block.
- Duel-Mode Switching: Unlike with a duel-phase switcher, the duel-mode switch is more complex in interior design. In order to perform the switch, the lightsaber must be deactivated entirely before being activated with the switch again. While a practiced user of the lightsaber can perform these switches with remarkable speed; it still takes great skill and precision to get it right mid-combat, where every millisecond counts.
DESCRIPTION
The Imperial Lightsaber she had wielded for years has served Aoki-Barran Mira well, and she continues to use it. However, on a journey of self discovery at Ilum, Mira found another kyber crystal during her Force driven wanderings in Ilum's caverns. Taking the crystal into her possession, Mira set to work making another lightsaber. She improved upon her Imperial Lightsaber's design, and further improved it to her preferences and fighting style. This is now her preferred lightsaber, and she holds it close to her heart for what it represents to her. Repentance, forgiveness, and the confidence to follow her own convictions.
