STRENGTHS

• Scythe: Be'chaaj possesses immense cutting power, especially when thrown toward its enemies
• Boomerang: When thrown with sufficient force and skill, Be'chaaj will return to the person who threw it, enabling them to throw the weapon as many times as they might wish
• Hooked: When used as a sword, Be'chaaj is potentially able to hook and parry enemy weapons, shields and even armor, depending on how said armor is constructed
• Voidsteel: Because Be'chaaj is constructed out of a Beskar-Voidsteel Alloy mix, it is mostly unaffected by Force Powers, such as telekinesis or Force barrier
• Magnet: Be'chaaj comes equipped with a small but powerful magnet that sticks out of the bottom of the pommel, which allows Siv Dragr to "recall" the weapon from short distances away with his magnetic gauntlets.
• Tool: Originally developed as an agricultural tool, Parang's like Be'chaaj are well suited for cutting through brush and thick overgrowth, especially on worlds terraformed by the Sith Order.

WEAKNESSES

• Dangerous: Be'chaaj is exceptionally dangerous to friend and foe alike, as the weapon does not differentiate against enemies or allies when in flight
• Skill issue: With most of the weapon being blade, catching Be'chaaj after it is thrown can prove to be quite the difficult task, and can easily lead to injury or death
• Awkward: Though it is relatively small, the odd shape of Be'chaaj can make it difficult to carry on one's person, as there is no good way to store Be'chaaj
• Voidsteel: Though the Beskar edges of Be'chaaj are quite durable, its Voidsteel "core" is far more prone to taking or being damaged, though this part of the weapon does not come into contact with enemies during battle
• Magnet: The magnet embedded in the hilt of Be'chaaj can only be recalled from a relatively short distance away, limiting its overall functionality
• Battery power: Be'chaaj, like many pieces of technology in the galaxy, requires a functioning Power Cell to achieve full potential. Should the weapon run out of power, its vast cutting potential will be reduced.

DESCRIPTION

When Siv Dragr approached Gel Karn about creating a throwing weapon that could take advantage of Voidsteel construction, one particular type of sword came to Gel's mind. Drawing upon his knowledge of Sith weaponry, Gel created Be'chaaj, a Sith style Parang with a rather unusual personal twist.

Like other Parangs, Be'chaaj is fully capable of returning to the person who threw it when it is thrown with sufficient force and skill. What makes Be'chaaj particularly dangerous is the fact that the weapon is a powered Vibroblade, vastly increasing its cutting potential, and the fact that is is partially constructed out of a rare metal called Voidsteel, a type of metal that is capable of weakening or even nullifying force powers. This means that force abilities such as telekinesis or Force barrier tend to not work against Be'chaaj, making it quite dangerous for Jedi and Sith alike to face.

Be'chaaj also comes equipped with a small but potent magnet that sticks out of the bottom of the weapon's pommel, enabling Siv Dragr to "recall" the weapon from short distances away with his magnetic gauntlets, though the distance at which he can do this is rather limited at best. More importantly, Be'chaaj is exceedingly dangerous to face for friend and foe alike, as the weapon will cut through both allies and enemies without the slightest distinction or hesitation. Though Gel very willingly agreed to create the weapon for Siv Dragr, he can't help but wonder if doing so was really the best idea...
