- Vibroweapon: Housed within the hilt is an ultrasonic generator, capable of creating pronounced vibrations within the blade. These vibrations significantly augment the base cutting power of the blade.
- Cortosis-Weave: Woven into the Durasteel blade is Cortosis, a metal famed for its ability to short out lightsabers. Oddly enough, the method of this weave only allows the blade to withstand any and all contact with lightsabers, as opposed to shorting out their circuitry.
- Devaronian-Edge: Imbued into the edge of the blade is a peculiar type of poison. When it enters the bloodstream, extreme sums of pain wreak havoc on the body. This ensures that even glancing blows have a significant affect upon an opponent.
- Length: While this weapon is average compared to other Vibroswords, its blade is shorter than that of a lightsaber. As such, when facing the average Force wielder, the user will be at a reach disadvantage.
- Electricity: Whether it be Force-based or not, electricity conducted through the length of the blade will cause an explosion once contact is made with the ultrasonic generator. This explosion would be large enough to take off the user's hand with ease.
- Coverage: While the blade is composed of Cortosis-Weave, the hilt is not. As such, it is vulnerable to the blades of lightsabers.
The BX Commando Blade, Custom is a spin on the Vibrosword in active service within the Confederacy. Through the introduction of Cortosis and Devarionian Blood Poison into the weapon's construction, a BX Commando can now face down lightsaber wielding opponents with an additional edge. As the Force is a persistent threat, efforts had to be made to provide the Confederacy's best Droid units with a fighting chance.
Currently, this prototype is being field tested by an exceptional unit designated [member="BX-25233"].
