Approved Tech Kyber Crystal Lightsabers

Status
Not open for further replies.
  • Intent: Create standard semi unique lightsabers for the open market and as loot for quests/dungeons, and also because our fine members should not have to hunt Wookieepedia quite so much if they don't want to
  • Image Source: N/A (Impossible to provide image as there are so many examples)
  • Canon Link: N/A
  • Permissions: N/A
  • Primary Source: Lightsaber
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: Various
  • Affiliation: Various
  • Market Status: Closed-Market
  • Model: N/A
  • Modularity: Yes (Requires separate sub)
  • Production: Semi Unique
  • Material: Durasteel, Kyber crystal, lightsaber components
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Lightsaber
  • Size: Average
  • Weight: Light
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Kyber crystals can come in many in colors, and attune to the Force User that meditated on them. Can be bled red by the pain and rage of a user
  • Can cut through most materials
  • Can deflect blaster bolts
STRENGTHS
  • Rip and Tear: Even the simplest Lightsaber made for genuine field use can cut through almost anything, save rare or Alchemized Materials, and of course other Lightsabers. They are often omni directional, and nearly weightless save for the powerful gyroscopic effect when active that takes skill to learn how to work with.
  • Deflector: Lightsaber Energy Blades are infamous for the ability to often deflect blaster bolts, and with sufficient skill, upgrades, or both, reflect them upon their sources
  • Fight anywhere: Both Ancient and modern examples can function in space
  • Attunement: Attunes to whoever constructs them, or whoever meditates with them to re-attune the saber to their own life force. Alternatively, the hatred and pain of a Dark Side User who has obtained one can bleed the Kyber Crystal within red, leaving it in constant pain (They eventually stop serving a Dark User if not bled). Bled crystals can be healed, but become permanently white. Attuned crystals may typically become a potent tool for meditation, and responds more easily to the user as time moves on. It may also become easier to sense and manipulate with the Force, Specifically Telekinesis, Or it May Channel or grind Force Lightning easier
  • Variety: Basic Kyber Lightsabers come in 3 common forms:
Standard Blade
Lightsaber Shoto
Long Handle Lightsaber

  • Rep Maker: Even Millennia after it's introduction, Lightsabers and their exotic variants are still near universally respected and feared. How you use it is up to you, but if you do and let the Galaxy see it, you'll have a high chance of getting a reputation for better or worse
  • PC--Friendly: The sub has been made specifically Semi Unique OOC so that players can have as nice and neat a sub as possible that allows them to get into Force User Role Play so they don't have to spend hours hunting Wookieepedia and just use a Kyber Lightsaber and pass this sub out as reward loot for stories and quests or as a starting weapon for new Force Characters
WEAKNESSES
  • Cortosis: Bog Standard Kyber Lightsabers and their variants typically cannot or otherwise have great difficulty cutting through anything with Cortosis. Most Kyber Lightsabers will also shut down if exposed to pure Cortosis and must be reset to be reactivated
  • Sonics: Sonic Projectiles typically bend around ordinary Kyber Lightsaber Blades
  • Slugthrowers: Solid ammo typically melts when hitting lightsaber blades, potentially causing splash damage and making bullets extremely difficult to defend against
  • Paddle Beams: Paddle Beams typically bend around these Lightsaber Blades
  • Force Voids: Most Kyber Lightsabers will typically shut off in Force Voids
  • Breakage Chance: Kyber Lightsabers commonly are slightly vulnerable to Lightsaber Blades using Synthetic Lightsaber Crystals, and there is an incredibly rare chance they will break from repeated contact with one
  • Modifications may affect performance: Altering these "common" Lightsabers Power Cell, Lens, and Emitter may make them excellent for some situations but weaker in others, and these weaknesses and strengths grow more or less pronounced given the variant of Lightsaber one is using. The Variants of each Lightsaber itself have a wide variety of pros and cons each if found IC no matter where they are, and no two hilt exteriors will look completely the same
DESCRIPTION

Lightsabers have been in use for thousands of years by various Force Orders and come in many forms. The Lightsabers using Kyber Crystals are among the most common, favored by Jedi and Sith alike. Often found on a Force User's person, they are often tied to that individuals very being, and can be located in ancient tombs, vaults, or taken off the slain bodies of their owners.

Often simplistic in design when first constructed, (Most Ancient examples found in tombs are of simple construction as well as modern examples) they can be slowly added to over the years becoming inseparable from their owners. Even thousands of years after their introduction, the simplest Lightsaber still commands thousands of credits on the black market for Crime Lords looking to splurge, and even the most basic bog standard examples are still often the centerpiece of any private collection--and perfectly capable of cutting through nearly anything or anyone, even without Enhancements.

The perfect Sub for Player Characters who want to stock a dungeon with loot, nab from a fallen npc, or the sub they use when taking their own character into battle or as the basis for a unique sub. Can come in almost any color

Alright, looking at this one and the others... this is going to be a tedious one but it looks like all of the subs are copy and paste so I will address it here and ALL subs will be edited.

Production: Semi Unique
Market Status: Open-Market

The low production means generally puts these as reserved for PC's use. Change to closed market as We are not going to have entire npc squads running around with lightsabers.


These are vastly different models of lightsabers and for a semi-unique submission far to large. Remove them and maintain the standard. If someone wants to make a unique model for themselves then they can.

NOTE: This Sub can be paired with Semi Unique lens, power cell, and emitter subs without the need to create a whole new sub for each, so long as subs can be removed from hilt easily IC

Any modification will need a new sub, you are not going to be able to just say you changed this randomly at anytime so the sub isn't correct.

Please apply these changes to all of your saber subs and I will look them over.
 
But these aren't meant to be anything more than basic versions of each saber variant meant to be reward loot or starting weapons. That's why it's open market--. Also you're not going to have literal gangs of NPC's wielding all these everywhere. The sub is simply meant to list what Lightsaber variety can be encountered IC , and it's not like I intend to encounter endless vaults containing every example. Here, relevant links are all listed, and a PC that finds an example would be able to look at this sub, instantly find the example they want to use, and rp accordingly with some general idea of what to do and how to use what is encountered IC without having to make an especially fancy sub.

There are examples of open market Lightsabers:



I can edit, but I'm just trying to clarify what I am attempting, Krass Wyms Krass Wyms .

NPC's with Lightsabers DO get encountered, though...

NPC's with lightsabers do get encountered and those sabers are generally stock and basic. No bifuricating ignition pulse, no mestare lense, no advanced pieces. Modified tech that doesn't get reported doesn't need to be submitted to the factory.

As to the saber you know there is no preadolescent in the factory. Each submission is judged based on its own merits and what the judge has for the criteria. Showing me a saber that is open market but affiliated with a single clan of witches which follows the semi unique rules does little to sway. It is a small group of witches with access to it. If you are not part of said clan you would have no knowledge of it existing. If you are then as open market you can get it without having to wait for the writer to come back from his various business trips he frequents. He did that for convenience of the group.

Now to the issue of models, yes I understand your intent and having a version of this saber in every model makes it easily meet the semi-unique brand... however more then that would increase the production levels and lightsabers are locked to semi-unique just like stealth technologies. If you want to find a lightsaber in a cave go for it, you don't need a factory sub.
 
Have made edits but I want to stress that these will not be mass produced and any example found will always be at semi unique. Can I still leave it open market , Krass Wyms Krass Wyms ?


Edit
I just wanted Force Player Characters to have freely available starting weapon sub without having to hunt on Wikipedia that allows them to cover all varieties and reference each quickly

You have 27 saber models there per sub. Even if there are only two (one each would be unique) models each spread across 6 subs. That is 324 sabers. That isn't counting variants with the emitter, lens and power cells. 300+ of an item is not semi-unique. To account for them as an open market item anyone can take is a no. PLease change to closed market.

As to force users having a starter weapon they can do that already. A stock saber doesn't need to be submitted to the factory unless it is reported. We don't require training, construction or anything for it. So a starter saber is only flavor if you are trying to equip something.

As to the solution, the best I will give you as discussion with other judges says largely a no. It grouping... if you want to do semi-unique, closed market sabers then group three. A shoto, standard hilt and long handled. Thery are all similar in design with the variable length.

It looks better but

A Variety of Lightsaber Components exist, and the most pertinent ones for users often include:
Emitter Matrix
Focusing Lens
Diatum Power Cell
Crystal Chamber (Extremely Ancient and some unique modern Variants Exist that had up to three crystal housings. For the purpose of this sub, it is limited to Kyber Only, and altering anything will require a new sub. Blanket free permission is given for any member who finds this sub to do so and use this sub as a basis)

This will still need to be removed, you can have the three hilts... saying it can be swapped out in custom models is fine. The opponent facing it shouldn't have to play mix and match to figure out what is being used.
