Ultimatum
Duranium Lord
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Honor are a specially designed blade system based on a combination of truncheon and holoprojection tech. The century old technology of light being turned into physical form that can be interacted with, such as bridges, Ultimatum took to turn into a weapon. While the droid does not truly believe in melee combat in the modern era, Ultimatum decided to create something that could work as a defensive weapon.
The use of a scaled down version of a physical holoprojector allows the hilt device to create a half-meter long cylinder of translucent blue light. The light is incredibly unlikely to be penetrated by most conventional weapon, excluding ionic based weapons. The unit is unfortunately unable to contain a long lasting battery and since it does not rely on the plasma like emissions, such as those from lightsabers, the device cannot reabsorb energy in order to recharge itself. Therefore its battery life is very short and requires that the user keep extra batteries in case of prolonged conflict. The unit battery life is further decreased with the activation of its electrical effect. While short bursts, such as those found in tapping, do not increase power draw, the long term stress of dealing with multiple persons through something decreases it by up to three-quarters.
Unlike lightsabers, which due to their natural heat production can melt away physical materials allowing users to cut with ease and little effort, the Honor does not have any special ability to cut through an object. The device can be used to bash materials, however it is weightless and thusly any damage done is entirely reliant on the strength of the person rather than any special property of the unit. The Honor is capable of sending an electrical current through the light truncheon in order to act as a stunning weapon, which requires the user to click a button in order to activate. The nature of the weapon being a blunt force weapon makes it far less effective on armored opponents, relying on the strength of the user to decide whether or not any damage is done. Further the bright light of the truncheon makes it very conspicuous in both light and darkness, making stealth near impossible when it is activated.
