STRENGTHS

• Incredible power: Even when compared to other lightsabers, Heavy Sabers are known for being exceptionally powerful, and are capable of easily cutting through most materials with ease
• Deflected: Like all lightsabers, the Heavy Saber is capable of deflecting blaster bolts that come into contact with the weapon's plasma blade
• Force siphon: The Heavy Saber's KyberSlag Refraction Crystal has a limited amount of force absorption, making it more difficult for enemy combatants to use the force against the user of the weapon
• Underwater: Thanks to its Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse, Heavy Sabers can operate underwater without risk of being damaged
• Stable: Between the Junk Saber and the Scrap Saber, the Heavy Saber is the most stable weapon of the bunch

WEAKNESSES

• Learning curve: Heavy Sabers, like all lightsabers, are incredibly difficult to use without the guidance of the Force or force sensitivity
• Preconception: Anyone who sees a Heavy Saber, or more broadly speaking a lightsaber, may have preconceived notions about those wielding them
• Force siphon: The Heavy Saber's KyberSlag Refraction Crystal does not discriminate against force users, making it equally difficult for the weapon's owner to use the force against their enemies
• Stable: Though it has the most stable lightsaber blade, the Heavy Saber is unable to overcharge attacks and cannot deliver additional damage effects like electric damage to its enemies
• Ugly(ish): Though a marked improvement over its predecessors, many would still find the Heavy Saber an ugly piece of equipment

DESCRIPTION
As members of the Brotherhood fled from the consequences of Laphisto's failed coup attempt of the Diarchy, many of them were forced to flee without their possessions, including their lightsabers and other weapons. To ensure that they would be able to fulfill their duties as members of the Junkyard Knights of Mahporeem, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant, in conjunction with the N&Z Umbrella Corporation, decided to create a new lightsaber-esque weapon for them to use: the Heavy Saber.

The "heavy" in Heavy Saber is a bit of a misnomer, as it refers to the weapon's damage potential and not its actual weight, which in reality is quite light for a weapon. Thanks to its combination of Artificial Kyber-Sanguinite Variation and KyberSlag Refraction Crystal Lens, the Heavy Saber has the best damage output and reach of all three Mahporeenian designed lightsabers, though it lacks the additional electric damage of the Junk Saber and the ability to overcharge its attacks of Scrap Saber, making the weapon a stable but unexciting operation for Junkyard Knights.

In addition, the Heavy Saber has a unique effect to it unseen in the other two lightsaber variations: the ability to "absorb" force energy, making it far more difficult for enemy units to use the force against the user of the weapon. This does, unfortunately, go both ways, and anyone using the Heavy Saber will have an equally difficult time trying to use the force agains their own enemies.

Besides these unqiue attributes, the Heavy Saber operates in essentially the same way as its predecessors, having the same grip options and internal components, though the weapon itself is mainly constructed out of N&Z materials, making it potentially more durable than either the Junk Saber or Scrap Saber, though this does also mean that maintenance can be more difficult to perform on the weapon in the long term.
