- Easy Carry: Foldable from the center, this staff can be collapsed for easier transportation.
- Reach: As a staff, this weapon can be used for longer reach in combat.
- Simple Mechanics: The lightsaber connector can only connect to a standard lightsaber or shoto hilt. Any other design won't properly attach, and also could unbalance the staff entirely.
- Weak Spots: The lightsaber connecters and folding mechanism are made purely of durasteel, and are vulnerable to lightsabers. If the lightsaber connecters or folding mechanism are damaged, they will need repairs after combat.
- Reach: Not exactly practical in its folded state, the staff suffers in closer quarters and tight spaces in combat.
DESCRIPTION
A seemingly simple weapon, this unnamed quarterstaff is a possession of Mari Aoki-Barran's. Functioning as a normal quarterstaff at first glance, this weapon can take the power of a lightsaber's blade and is sturdy in combat. Plus, it's folding mechanism makes it collapsible for easy carry! There is one more trick up this weapon's sleeve, however, as there are connectors at each end of the staff capable of hooking to a standardized lightsaber hilt; essentially converting the entire weapon into a lightsaber pike or long-handle lightsaber. However, the staff can only take standard lightsaber and shoto hilts - else the mechanism simply won't work or the entire staff will be unbalanced. Furthermore, the folding mechanism and lightsaber connectors are made from duraplast due to phrik's harder properties. This means that the staff has weak spots a lightsaber or plasma cutter could take advantage of.
