- Intent: Create standard use semi unique lightsabers as loot and starting weapons for quests/dungeons, and also because our fine members should not have to hunt Wookieepedia quite so much if they don't have to

- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Lightsaber
- Manufacturer: Various
- Affiliation: Various
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: N/A
- Modularity: Yes (Requires new sub)
- Production: Semi Unique
- Material: Durasteel, Christophsis Crystal, lightsaber components
- Classification: Lightsaber
- Size: Average
- Weight: Light
- Lightsaber Blade generates increased kinetic impact generated by its crystal, leading to improved power attacks
- Customizable
- Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse
- Often Ornate in design
- Rip and Tear: Even the simplest Lightsaber made for genuine field use can cut through almost anything, save rare or Alchemized Materials, and of course other Lightsabers. They are omni directional, and nearly weightless save for the powerful gyroscopic effect when active that takes skill to learn how to work with. Christophsis powered Lightsaber blades generate increased kinetic impact when striking an object, improving power attacks, and increasing chances of Disarmament
- Deflector: Most Lightsaber Blades have the ability to deflect blaster bolts or even, in some cases, with the correct training, upgrades, or both, reflect them back upon their source
- Fight anywhere: Both Ancient and modern examples can function in space, and, with Bi-furcating Cyclical Ignition Pulse Tech, function underwater. There are many Ancient examples discovered with this modification as well
- Attunement: Attuned crystals may become potent tool for meditation and responds much more easily to the user as time moves on, especially in duels against other opponents. It may also become much easier to sense and manipulate with the Force, Specifically Telekinesis, Or it May Channel or grind Force Lightning easier. Those skilled in using their Christophsis Equipped Blade for a long time can even focus and generate even more kinetic force through their blade than normal, increasing their chances of Disarmament even further.
- Variety: Basic Christophsis Crystal Lightsabers come in 3 commonly encountered forms:
Lightsaber Shoto (Shoto's are rarely designed as stand alone examples of encountered, and often paired with a standard Lightsaber. Often not as decorated)
Long Handle Lightsaber (Heavily Engraved, often Scepter like)
- Rep Maker: Even Millennia after it's introduction, Lightsabers and their exotic variants are still near universally respected and feared. How you use it is up to you, but if you do and let the Galaxy see it, you'll have a high chance of getting a reputation for better or worse. Power Duelists armed with such weapons can become among the most dangerous threats to other enemy duelists
- PC--Friendly: The sub has been made specifically Semi Unique OOC so that players can have as nice and neat a sub as possible that allows them to get into Force User Role Play so they don't have to spend hours hunting Wookieepedia and just use a Velmorite Crystal Lightsaber and pass this sub out as reward loot for stories and quests or as a starting weapon for new Force Characters
- Cortosis: Bog Standard Lightsabers and their variants typically cannot or otherwise have great difficulty cutting through anything with Cortosis. Most Lightsabers will also shut down if exposed to pure Cortosis and must be reset to be reactivated
- Sonics: Sonic Projectiles typically bend around ordinary Lightsaber Blades
- Slugthrowers: Solid ammo typically melts when hitting lightsaber blades, potentially causing splash damage and making bullets extremely difficult to defend against
- Paddle Beams: Paddle Beams typically bend around these Lightsaber Blades
- Force Voids: Most Lightsabers will typically shut off in Force Voids
- Kinetic blowback: The Blade may generate more Kinetic energy on impact, but that means the user must be twice as careful that that energy doesn't cause them to lose their own grip during an attack. They also have a very slight chance of breaking to synth blades like most natural Saber Blades
- Modifications may affect performance: Altering these "common" Christophsis Lightsabers Power Cell, Lens, and Emitter may make them excellent for some situations but weaker in others, and these weaknesses and strengths grow more or less pronounced given the variant of Lightsaber one is using. The Variants of each Lightsaber itself have a wide variety of pros and cons each if found IC, and due to its nature, it cannot be used in all varieties of Lightsaber without serious compromises in performance and practicality.
- Acquisition Difficulty: While Easy enough to construct/acquire standard and Shoto Variants, Lightsabers with these Crystals that are not made by a player are often under unusually heavy guard and their living owners are not often willing to part with them, and often are dangerous to try and acquire through dueling an NPC equipped with one for the very reasons you would want one yourself. Only the toughest duels or challenge awaits one who doesn't simply try and build it themselves and instead uses the Lightsaber portion of this sub as a Loot Reward. Constructing a Lightsaber with this Crystal can also be more time consuming than normal due to the need to reinforce the parts against the kinetic effects and very difficult to repair or replace.
Lightsabers have been in use for thousands of years by various Force Orders and come in many forms. The Lightsabers using Christophsis Crystals are among the best for dueling due to their blades ability to generate increased kinetic energy down the blade, improving power attacks. Often found on a Force User's person, they are often tied to that individuals very being, and can be located in ancient tombs, vaults, or taken off the slain bodies of their owners. Can come in any color
Often simplistic in design when first constructed, they can be slowly added to over the years becoming inseparable from their owners. Even thousands of years after their introduction, the simplest Christophsis Lightsaber commands instant attention from Adepts who specialize at duels as well as potentially millions on the Black Market due to the immense rarity--and is still perfectly capable of cutting through nearly anything or anyone, even without Enhancements.
The perfect Sub for Player Characters who want to stock a dungeon with very rare loot, nab from a fallen npc in a very epic duel (Especially if trying to forcibly acquire the Long Hand Lightsaber variant), or the sub they use when taking their own character into battle, especially for duels
