Intent:
- Kialla's Blade is intended to further the depth of Tasgetius' background. The weapon is to serve as a reminder to Tasgetius of the woman that he loved as a sister, whom he ultimately had to kill. Likewise it is intended to force him to remember just how dangerous those who can use the force can be, and how a simple child can ultimately be turned into a killer. The blade itself is more or less held as a symbol due to Tasgetius' own lack of ability to utilize the weapon effectively.

Description:
As a young boy, Tasgetius Blackwood was orphaned. In one of the first foster homes he was sent he met a young girl named Kialla, two years older, whom he looked up to as an older sister. She took care of him and loved him, only she was taken from the family by a Jedi. As he grew older, Tasgetius fell in with a crowd of criminals, aiding a gang that soon was too powerful for an otherwise corrupt government to deal with. The Jedi were called and Kialla returned. In the years since she was taken away, Kialla had been trained and turned into a weapon, wielding a lightsaber as she cut down those that Tasgetius had come to love, ultimately taking his left arm in the process and killing the man whom had become an adopted father.
For years afterwards, Tasgetius was on the run as bounty hunters followed him across the Galaxy. When he returned to his homeworld, he rallied the remnants of the old gang, and those resistance fighters that fought a corrupt government. Once more the Jedi returned and Kialla was leading them. When the dust finally settled, Tasgetius was found cradling the body of Kialla in his arms, having been forced to take her life. While others would say that he took the weapon as a trophy, Tasgetius took it as a sign of respect for the girl that Kialla had once been, a reminder that even the Jedi can turn a child into a killer.
During her years spent as a Jedi, Kialla learned the basics of lightsaber combat, though he strength lain more with the force. For her the Lightsaber was merely a tool that she utilized with the Force and nothing more. Thus it is of simple design and construct, a reflection of her homeworld and herself, rather than an extension or designed to reflect her master. Thus it is a reminder of the young girl she had been, and that perhaps there had still been that small glint of her left beneath the Jedi she had become, a reminder that keeps her alive in Tasgetius' mind now.
