SPECIAL FEATURES
- Emits a low whine when active
- Capable of ignoring Force Barriers touched by the blade
- The blade (and only the blade) is capable of ignoring the effects of Force based attacks
- Capable of piercing heavy and exotic armor
- Capable of cutting light armor
- Even small cuts can cause gaping wounds
- Absorbs heat to an extreme extent and can cause severe frostbite
- Phrik Blade diffuses electricity efficiently enough to prevent Power Cell explosion (in most cases)
- Vibroblade Mechanism capable of self-repair (though a new power cell will need to be installed)
- Touching bare flesh to metal blade causes frostbite
- Touching bare flesh to metal handle causes painful and numbing cold
- Vibroblade's Power Cell prone to exploding when exposed to high concentrations of electricity
- Vulnerable to mechanical tampering (EMP and such)
Like any other vibrosword, Osik'la Kalikir swords incorporate advanced mechanical components in the hilt of the weapon that enables the blade to vibrate at extreme, ultrasonic frequencies. While activated, a simple cut from these weapons can cause horrible, gaping wounds and profuse bleeding. Even contact with the flat of the blade, while activated, can cause severe bruising and is capable of causing internal bleeding or organ damage (depending on where the metal is touching). However, the exotic metal alloy of the blade itself makes these weapons even more hazardous. Forged from an exotic alloy of Phrik and Plas-Bonded Ostrine, these swords possess an abnormal and extreme thermal conductivity, so much so that prolonged contact with the blade can super-chill any substance, with a simple touch being enough to cause frostbite to any exposed flesh and direct contact for a few moments or longer being enough to cause a much more severe case of frostbite. While the blade it activated, this enables these weapons to inflict tremendous damage to soft tissue and cause incredibly painful wounds of gaping, frozen flesh that quickly become necrotic if left untreated and become increasingly painful as the damaged area thaws.
Designed for use against heavily armored Force Users, Osik'la Kalikir swords combine mechanical engineering and advanced metallurgy to optimize armor penetration during thrusting attacks while also maximizing the damage the weapon can inflict upon soft tissue. This is achieved through a number of means and begins with the material from which it is constructed. While not quite as durable or as light as pure Phrik, the alloy these blades are made from is cast-forged at extreme pressures to increase the density of the metal and bring its durability closer to that of pure Phrik, but at the expense of making the metal even heavier. Thanks to this high density though, and thanks to the shape of the blade itself, these swords are capable of withstanding extreme structural stresses originating from the point of the sword, and cause them to excel at piercing armor during thrusting attacks. This natural design principle is further enhanced by the type of vibroblade mechanism chosen for these swords. Using a Focused Vibrator Cell that concentrates the blade's vibrations more towards the tip than upon the blade itself, these swords are capable of piercing heavy, high density metals and can even be used to pierce beskar plating.
While Vibroblades typically are poorly suited for use against such weapons as electrostaves or a force user intent on hurling lightning, the Phrik alloy these blades are made from is capable of diffusing electricity to a sufficient extent to prevent damage to the weapon's power cell in most situations. To further this protection against electric-induced explosive hand loss, (among other benefits) the final stage of creating these blades involves applying an exotic wax sealant to the blade. This wax sealant is derived from the sap of the Aal'run Flower, a vong-shaped creature that is an aberration to the force and immune to the effects of most force abilities. While the full scope of such an exotic property is not conferred to these blades, the abhorrent properties of the wax are sufficient to protect the weapon from most force abilities. While this might enable the blade of this weapon to slip through a force barrier, or to prevent a force user from crushing or warping the blade itself, it does nothing to prevent a force user from directly targeting the mechanical mechanisms of the weapon and does nothing to dissipate larger force abilities that effect a wide area.
However, knowing that it would be impossible to fully stop a force user from finding a way to damage the vibroblade mechanisms of these weapons, it was chosen to incorporate Laminanium into all wiring and mechanical parts of the weapons so that, should they become damaged in spite of all preventative measures, they could at least be repaired (and the power cell replaced).
