SPECIAL FEATURES

• Inferno, main cryatal that produces a steady blaze orange blade (as shown above). Provides all its benifits and drawbacks to the weapon.
• Songsteel body for lightweight, lightsaber resistant hilt composition.
• White Electrum hand carved detailing.
• Norris Root dyed Rycrit Leather wrap for grip.
• A couple tiny pieces of yellow Dantari Crystal inlaid into the detailing.
• Crude Phobium Emitter, an addition suggested to her by Valery Noble , Jonyna Si , Kaleleon , and Caltin Vanagor to help compliment the more speed/agility focused and agressive style of fighting.
• Discharge Energy Cell, higher striking power output.
• Slide Switch allows for more immediate activation and deactivation.
• Sound Dampener, small inner attachment connected to the emitter of the lightsaber for quiet ignition and movement.
• EMP Sheilding to be protected from EMP blasts/attacks.
• Interlocking Hilt, made from electrum for better versatility. When connected to the lightsaber Solaris (found HERE), the two effectively become one saberstaff.

STRENGTHS

• Sound of Silence: The lightweight metal of songsteel coupled with the sound danpener connected to the emitter makes the blade nearly silent when ignighted and weilded through the air. When close to the ignighted blade, it makes a soft sound similar to that of a crackling hearth instead.
• Speed of Light: Being made from incredibly lightweight materials make it ideal for fast, continuous movements.
• EMP Resistance: Can withstand all manner of EMP blasts and targeted attacks.
• Fuel the Pyre: Dantari crystal pieces help keep the user from exhausting themselves through the Force, assist in recovering Force energy, and recycle the energy of combat to boost it.
• Inferno: The central power crystal produces a finely balanced, feather-light orange blade. It provides a subtle Force aura that enhances the wielder's presence, boosting morale and offering a chance to de-escalate conflict through charisma alone. In combat, it can sharpen focus, fortify against mental interference, and sustain the user with enhanced stamina and physical energy regeneration.

WEAKNESSES

• If a Lightsaber With a Dampener Strikes a Tree, Does It Make a Sound?: The simple answer—Yes. Though the blade itself is nearly silent when being swung, it will be heard when it makes contact with an object, person, another blade, etc.
• Swimming, No Thanks: Lightsaber will not ignight or be functional when fully submerged in water.
• Blasted Cortosis: Contact with cortosis will cause the blade to momentarily malfunction and short out.
• Force Nullification Fields: Unique properties attributed to the crystal or any force imbuments are nullified in areas devoid of the Force, rendering it a basic lightsaber weapon.

DESCRIPTION
During the battle at Woostri, Azurine's confrontation with Darth Carnifex would take a dark turn, ending with her capture and subsequent torment. The only aspects of her lightsabers that she was able to protect from confiscation, thanks to the hidden compartment in her cybernetic arm lined with force presence cloaking material and protection from scans, were the crystals they had once housed. While in recovery after having barely escaped Sith containment with her life intact, she decided to put some of her energy towards building new lightsabers to replace what she had lost and to keep her mind anchored to the present. This time, Azzie put her all into them rather than working with only what she could find like her time in the rebellion or strictly what was reccomended like when she had first passed the trial on Illum.

Each component of both lightsabers (Solaris and Ardoris) was chosen with purpose, its construction combining speed, lethality, and history in the best way she could. Forged from lightweight songsteel, the hilts have an almost ethereal balance. Wrapped in norris root–dyed rycrit leather, the grip is both tactile and resilient with a deep reddish brown hue lending an earthy contrast to the silver metals. This adds to the overall functional feeling of being organic, a weapon meant to be wielded.

Electrum being easier to carve than songsteel allowed her to achieve intricate carved cultural detailing with a small layer of the softened metal added over the main body of the hilt in selected areas and accented with the subtle gleam from yellow dantari crystal pieces nesteled at a couple of points around the body. The metal was carved by Azzie’s own hand, etched with care in patterning of traditional Iridonian motifs meant to invoke resilience, purpose, and personal connection.

Alone, the lightsabers are their own entity with different detailing and a couple differences in components. Two blades that can be used together, one in each hand, or seperately. Interlocked together, they become a single, unique saberstaff to incorperate her homeworlds traditional weapon, the Zhaboka, and her skill in that style of combat into her lightweapons.
