[*]Slices Phrik
[*]Slices Beskar
[*]Slices Tunqstoid
[*]Slices Hijarna Stone

[*]Drives Animals crazy
[*]Effects Bith like a sonic screamer

Strengths:

• Superior cutting capabilities (see special features)

Weaknesses:

• Low Production Value
• Unusable by Bith
• Ruptures Sensitive Eardrums
• Shorter Range
• Electrical Energy: Neither the blade or the casing are able to absorb energy instead channeling it into the blade and overloading it. Overloading the ultrasonic generator in its casing within the hilt can cause the weapon to blow up in the users hand.

Description: Designed off an old technology, the blade breaker was for the most part obscure and never mentioned but served as an interesting secondary fighting weapon. Levy along with the bladesisters of Chai La could use it to break weaker swords and daggers but not to the extent a little tinkering and experience could give it. The blade is lightweight hybrid plexisteel so the internal components to vibrate it at high sonic frequencies are not to heavy. The force enhanced and ultra lightweight synth mesh itself is used to provide more powerful works to it.

Then there are three pressure studs on the side for turning it either up, on or down in intensity depending on what is needed.The adjustments to turn it up higher set the blade to resonate with a powerful alternating current to reinforce it. The blades edge resonates at extremely high frequencies designed to oscillate near the molecular level and slice through the bonds to get in and break through strong blades and armor. The results of which are its wintrium edge can slice through beskar, phrik and wintriium itself like a hot knife through butter.

The cutting power becoming something devastating and damage organic tissue slashing it to ribbons and piercing through skin like it is warm butter lacerating the body. Against armor and blades it does what a blade breaker is made for and can shatter them (pc permission pending and rules not withstanding) The ultrasonic vibrations can be heard by animals with sensitive ears and have possible negative effects on sentients like Bith who react adversely to sonic weapons.

To aid in its breaking abilities the ridged sections along the blade are designed to come out. Opening to reveal two (one on either side) prong like sections to clamp down and grip the blade before twisting and working to snap it. The prongs designed as part of the blade rather then some part off to the side that looks like it can snap off or that will make it look awkward in a sheath. The rest of the blade thanks to the synthmesh means that it will easily be able and usable by jedi themselves. The lightside of the force from the mesh preventing darksiders from being able to hold the blade.

The enhanced cutting capabilities of the blade goes with what they have. Thanks to her work with Domino who as an old friend showed her how to force enhance the earlier models it was giving her an idea and her twi'lek friends k-bar blade that she made for her own personal use was skilled going into anything. As it doesn't cut she pointed out like a lightsaber. It doesn't release plasma and energy when cutting for the metals to resist that it takes time. With the blade cutting at the molecular level it can make shorter work of materials it goes against.

As testing came about one fo the major things discovered was that the casing while protective is not made like many of the force enhanced blades. The casing and blade cannot absorb safely electrical energy directed at it. When it absorbs electrical energy the ultrasonic vibration generator risks overloading and like many powercells that are ruptured it can become unstable and explode causing damage to the one holding it when the generator is active. The danger and risk of it is higher but the benefits of the cell and general use means this blade isn't much made for heavy combat.

Slices Tinqstoid

To clarify, is this Tunqstoid?

Slices Phrik Slices Beskar

As far as I am aware, there are currently only two factory submissions, both unique, that are approved to cut through lightsaber resistant materials, and both have quite sizeable amounts of development behind them.

I see two basic options to continue forward.

1) Make production unique and do more development.
2) Lower cutting abilities considerably.

[member="Matsu Ike"], upon further discussion with other members of the factory staff, there is another way forward for this submission to consider.

3) Add another practical weakness while using this weapon. Semi-unique production can stay, though the affiliation should be changed from PC-characters to either an organization, or something like a "select few characters", preferably with some sort of connecting theme.

Electrocution: Overloading the ultrasonic generator can cause the weapon to blow up in the users hand.

What could cause the generator to overload? (Exposure to a certain electromagnetic fields, etc)

I'd probably recommend focusing on either the electrocution or the exploding effect.

[member="Matsu Ike"], if you'll extend (or clarify) that electricity that hits any part of the weapon (to include the blade itself), I'll approve this.

Alternatively, you can provide another weakness in its place.

The problem I see with this as is (as I understand it), is that we're talking about a very small target that's typically already shielded by the user's hands (which may well be armored in gauntlets, etc), which could essentially negate this weakness. On top of that, electricity applied to most modern high tech weapons (lightsabers, blasters, etc) should have the same effect, meaning that it's not something that's going to help balance it from a game play standpoint.

[member="Gir Quee"] edited, if the blade it used to block lightning or try to absorb electrical energy it can explode in your hand.

Approved.
