- Size: Average
- The Scherezade is intended to be wielded in one hand and as a result, its length is usually sized for ~45% of the intended wielder's height.
- Weight: Average
- Diagnostic System
- Diagnostic system in the weapon can run automatic maintenance checks and is able to identify parts, systems, and components in need of repair or replacement.
- An integrated electronics and communication suite in the weapon links to virtually any system, allowing the wielder to obtain hard data from its systems, such as running temperatures, stability, diagnostic information, etc.
- Data and Information Security
- Biometric Security System
- Biometric security system ensures that only the designated wielder can wield the blade by locking the weapon. Multiple failed attempts within a specific timeframe will result in the weapon overloading its power cell and frying its internal components.
- Universal Remote Link
- The vibroblade is linked to its designated wielder via a miniaturized comm link, allowing them to interface with and control the weapon remotely. This may be done through a neural link, HUD command, or any other control system that the wielder may set up.
- In the event that the weapon is lost, the communications unit can send out a “ping” so that it can be located.
- FAE/S-07 Symbiotic Ghost Link - Optional Control and Data Link
- Sound Dampening System
- The blade has an integrated sound damper that reduces the weapon’s auditory signature to a relatively soft hum.
- Mono-Molecular Edge
- The blade has an edge that is honed to a single molecule of thickness. Thus, the edge is extremely, surgically sharp, increasing potential cutting performance.
- Enhanced by Svolten Rhyolite to allow for nigh-permanent edge retention.
- Ultrasonic Vibration Generator
- A high-grade vibration generator, the ultrasonic vibration generator causes the blade to vibrate with extreme speed and force, giving the weapon the ability to tear through flesh, hard organic carapace, thick stone, and heavy metal alloys the likes of titanium and durasteel. In addition, the vibroblade has the potential to inflict devastating, gaping wounds and possibly even dismember, with little more than a touch.
- Monomolecular Energy Cord
- An energized plasma cord that runs the length of the edge. Can be activated or deactivated at the wielder’s discretion.
- Svolten Rhyolite Treatment
- Allows the vibroblade to retain its integrity and cutting power even after sustaining hard impacts with the blade of a lightsaber or with especially dense materials.
- Phasic Resonance Tuner
- The Phasic Resonance Tuner is a system designed to find and exploit the inherent weakness of virtually any energy shield: its frequency. The system is a sophisticated sensor and emitter unit built into the vibroblade's hilt. The moment the blade comes near an energy shield, it performs a microsecond-long scan to analyze the shield's harmonic frequency. Once identified, it automatically adjusts the Ultrasonic Vibration Generator and the monomolecular energy cord field to emit a counter-frequency that has a very high chance of forcing destructive interference. This counter-frequency is 180 degrees out of phase from the targeted shield’s harmonic rhythm.
- The counter-frequency generates a localized phasic cancellation effect. As a result, the resonant blade has a very high chance of causing the energy shield's matrix to destabilize at the precise point of impact. In the process, the shield’s energy may be turned against itself, potentially creating a localized tear or a transient instability just wide enough for the vibroblade to potentially slip through and strike the target behind the shield.
- Collapsing Mirrors Edge Retraction System
- The mono-molecular edges can retract into a semi-dull housing via molecular disruptor mirror cells when the weapon is not in use. The mono-molecular edges can be unsheathed (or retracted) via the remote link.
- Resilient Construction
- Owing to the vibroblade’s material construction, it is incredibly resistant to lightsabers, vibroblades, and energy weapons.
- Rust Inhibitor
- Passive De-Ionization System
- Cutting Power: The FAE/M-01 is a devastating cutting instrument that is capable of destroying matter on multiple levels simultaneously. The monomolecular edge severs molecular bonds with almost no resistance, while the plasma energy cord sheath superheats and destabilizes the material ahead of the strike, softening it into molten or vaporized fragments. At the same time, the ultrasonic vibration generator unleashes microscopic oscillations that shatter internal cohesion, sending destructive resonance deep into the target. The result is a blow that has the potential to both cut and unravel whatever it touches, combining thermal shearing, vibrational tearing, and atomic-level slicing in a single movement.
- Rupture: The vibroblade has a Phasic Resonance Tuner which can generate a localized phase cancellation effect that can disrupt energy shields at the point of impact. This system gives a strike an extremely high chance of slipping through energy shields, allowing the wielder to engage shielded targets with a credible expectation of success.
- Brutal: A single successful stroke from the blade can leave wounds that are simultaneously clean and catastrophic: flesh instantly cauterized yet torn open into gaping, ragged channels, armor slashed apart as if made of brittle clay, and even impervium plates ripped and melted in seconds. Stone is shorn into dust, and most alloys part like water, their molecular integrity shredded by vibration as the heat and monomolecular edge finish the job. Even the lightest touch has the potential to cause swift dismemberment or structural failure, making the weapon as close to the destructive potential of a lightsaber as a physical blade can achieve. This comes with the added visceral brutality of mechanical tearing layered atop precise, surgical cutting.
- Lightsaber Resistance: Albeit a standard feature of most, if not all late vibroweapon technologies given the propagation of Force-users in the modern era, the FAE/M-01 is resistant to contact with lightsabers and is capable of retaining its integrity against such weaponry over long periods, owing to its resilient construction and the Svolten Rhyolite treatment that protects the edges.
- Mechanical Mutation: Like any piece of technology, the blade will be susceptible to mechu-deru and other technology-twisting powers if left unprotected. A talented practitioner of such esoteric sorceries could induce an overload or some other failure that might compromise much of the vibroblade’s advanced functions, potentially reducing its potential cutting power or compromising one of its utility features in the process.
- EMP/Ion Disruption: Comprehensive Ion and EMP protection does not make the Scherezade immune to such attacks by any means. Depending on the proximity and power quotient of an Ion/EMP discharge, the weapon can suffer a range of deleterious effects, from complete shutdown to temporary system interruptions, both of which would also render it as little more than a monomolecular-edged sword.
Named for the mysteriously disappeared and highly prolific Assassin-Princess, Scherezade deWinter, the FAE/M-01 “Scherezade” Energized Vibroblade is a weapon derived from the electro-bisentos, vibro-voluges, Bilari electro-chain whips, and vibro-arbir blades utilized by the Elite Praetorian Guard of the ancient First Order. First United Astral Engineering developed the weapon in response to a need for a robust, lightsaber-resistant vibroblade, especially given the proliferation of Force wielders in the modern battlefield. To this end, the Scherezade utilizes a monomolecular-edged fyrirdögun blade and svolten rhyolite treatment, giving the weapon the resilience needed to engage lightsabers. Focus was also placed on amplifying the weapon's cutting power beyond that of a standard vibroblade. The monomolecular edge by itself makes the weapon a peerless cutter. However, this is supplemented by the ultrasonic vibration generator, which generates a microscopic oscillation that turns the blade into a matter-disrupting terror through vibrations that transfer catastrophic kinetic energy which causes molecules to be ripped apart from their neighbors. All the while, the plasma energy cord sheath superheats and destabilizes the material ahead of the strike, softening it into molten or vaporized fragments that makes it easier to cut.
All in all, the Scherezade is a weapon for a modern era, one where wars are waged and won with advanced technology just as much as they are with the arcane powers of the Force.
