- Classification: Force-Imbued Blade
- Size: Large
- Weight: Heavy
- Madog Steel Edge: Wrought with Tythonian iron and tempered in the hottest forges of Vur Tepe, madog steel takes on unnatural resiliency. Comparable to beskar in its durability, madog blades can cut through durasteel and even deflect lightsaber blows once imbued.
- Crystal Energy Focus: A rare and powerful alchemized gem adorns the hilt of this weapon, mystic energy channeled into its core by a team of master Jedi forgesmiths working in concert. This ancient technique allows for the crystal to greatly assist in channeling any lightside ability its attuned for.
- Force-Imbued Blade: A honed madog steel edge imbued with even more supernatural resiliencies, Damocles is more than a match for lightsabers or Sith alchemized blades. Capable of cutting through most materials quicker even than a high powered ultrasonic generator, this sword is beyond sharp.
- General's Focus: A crystalline gem socketed into the hilt allows Damocles' wielder to subconsciously channel a somewhat less effective form of battle meditation. Providing a passive morale and reflex boost to any allies in the immediate vicinity, this weapon is literally a beacon of hope.
- Sword of Light: Damocles wasn't just imbued with additional resiliency, it was also suffused in lightside energies throughout the process of its creation. Using great concentration, a powerful Jedi who wields it can reawaken this energy to coat the edge in Force Light. Any attacks while under this effect do not simply damage, they obliterate the Darkside in whatever Damocles touches.
- Titan's Grip: Heavy and cumbersome, for the average human Damocles would be a struggle to wield even two handed. Even its wielder's hulking frame can only do so much to compensate for the inertial momentum in every swung, a predictable sluggishness that can prove deadly against weightless energy swords.
- Shatterpoint: If its more supernatural attributes are exploited too much or for too long, it is possible that the energy focus within Damocles could rupture, unleashing a wave of harmful Force energy that would grievously wound anyone holding the blade hilt.
- Signal Flare: This weapon is conspicuous. It does not retract, and gleams with an uncanny brightness, as if the steel seems to go out of its way to reflect any nearby natural light. Damocles is not meant for engaging in spycraft or storming enemy compounds in the dead of night, it is a sword that seeks always to make a statement.
"Be without fear in the face of your enemies.
Be brave and upright so the Light may love thee.
Speak the truth, always, even if it leads to your death.
Safeguard the helpless. Do no wrong.
That is your Oath."
