- Cortosis Weave - Using a minimal amount of Cortosis Ore in the sword-smithing technique, the blade is able to parry blows from Lightsaber wielding foes. Due to the small amount of Ore used in each blade however, should a lightsaber connect with the weapon, it will not be deactivated/shorted out.
- Phrik - Lightweight Lightsaber resistant alloy allowing for ease of maintenance and consistent, high grade, effect against lightsaber wielding opponents.
- Faraday Cage technology - Protecting the hilt and generator in the base of the vibro-blade from being susceptible to electrical attacks.
- Atrisian styled engravings are available to be etched into each blade should the consumer desire such personal works.
If there's ever been a threat to a Criminal uprising, it's been lightsaber weilding do-gooders trying to maintain order within their beloved territories, whether Jedi or Sith, they both have a tendancy to be a royal pain in the a-...Atrisian backside; Which is precisely why the vibro-blades created by those within The Tsukasa Gokudō have obtained and modified each blade with a process known as Cortosis weaving, a method of strengthening the alloy with Cortosis Ore, albiet significantly less than used in gear the likes of body armor, to produce a weapon that can not only compete with the high powered impact of a lightsaber's blade, but thanks to the added Phrik, will suffer far less damage over time and continued use.
These Swords have been shaped and styled by true Atrisian's, though no longer based within their home-world, the make of the traditional Katana themed blade has clearly been included in the planning of this new Vibro-blade, mixing the technology of ultra-sonic vibrations to sharpen the edge in each cut or cleave, with the form and grace of a culture still very much alive in this day and age, these Vibro-swords, while simple in their design, are certainly lethal in the hands of a practiced swordsman.
Strengths:
- Can cut through many standard materials with relative ease.
- Can resist the strength of blows from Lightsabers.
- Easily Maintained.
- Does not deflect blaster-fire as the blade is still made of an alloy based material.
- Cannot penetrate dense metals such as Beskar or high-grade metals such as Cortosis plating.
- Requires a sheath to house and carry the blade safely, and is otherwise easily distinguishable upon one's person.
