Description -
Milo Tyranne's lightsaber is a device constructed by the young Miln initially as an exercise in reverse engineering.
During his relationship with Udrusa, Milo began to learn about the Force, particularly his own abilities with it. Though he unfortunately was not able to learn very much before his lover's apparent untimely demise, he did learn a few elementary techniques, though he was never able to extract one aspect of Force-user culture which had fascinated him since he had first seen it, shortly after meeting the Sith female.
The construction of a lightsaber was, so Milo had been told, an advanced skill; even so, this did not stop the young explorer from attempting to learn how it was done. Doing his own research, he was able to find a few articles on aspects of similar weapons, and after several months was able to piece together enough information to draft a set of blueprints.

Milo's lightsaber is unique in that it makes use of all-Miln technology, augmented by the Force during construction in order to make it function as it should. Composed of a ferroceramic cylinder with a bulky, flared emitter assembly, the weapon's hilt contains the beam focusing elements, power supply and electronics.
The weapon is powered - in typical Miln fashion - by a radioactive element, encased in lead-ceramic shielding. Milo created the artificial isotope contained within during a Force trance, and while extremely powerful, the substance he made was completely undocumented, and my not be reproducible. Intensely radioactive, the power core uses a heat exchange to create usable energy; because of this, the hilt of Milo's lightsaber is constantly warm to the touch.
Unable to acquire a traditional lightsaber crystal, Triter was forced to make use of an alternative. He instead was able to fit the synthetic enhancement jewel from a Miln 3D image projector; this jewel creates a flaring, amber-colored blade. Though unstable, the blade is powerful, able to cut as readily as any other lightsaber; an added benefit is that, when clashing with an opposing energy blade, Milo's saber creates a spray of hot sparks at the point of contact, splashing out toward the opponent and potentially providing a distraction.

In construction, Milo's lightsaber bears a closer resemblance to a latter-day lightfoil, as it was built primarily by hand, rather than with Force levitation. Even so, it was crafted with the aid of the Force, and would likely not function if constructed by a "mundane" craftsbeing. It is also designed to be readily disassembled and repaired, unlike many other lightsabers, which are generally not expected to need much servicing over their lifetime.

My thought was that Milo doesn't really have access to traditional Lightsaber materials, and the components he ended up using are a fair bit chunkier and more low-tech than usual. Still, you have a point; I've edited the weight down to 1.5 kg.

Another notable departure from standard lightsaber design is the lack of a conventional focusing crystal, unavailable to Milo during construction. Instead, he used a gaseous tritium focusing element pulled from a laboratory laser, which creates a flaring, amber-colored blade. Though unstable, the blade is powerful, able to cut as readily as any other lightsaber; an added benefit is that, when clashing with an opposing energy blade, Milo's saber creates a spray of hot sparks at the point of contact, splashing out toward the opponent and potentially providing a distraction.
I'm not quite certain if a gaseous element, in this case gaseous tritium, would be an effective replacement for a focusing crystal. Can you find any canonical or chaos-canon sources which display such being the case?

I'm afraid I can't, but there is a real-world precedent, funny enough. Many early scientific lasers - and a few early commercial ones - used a gas chamber system to create a coherent light beam.
Here's the Wikipedia article; don't worry, it's fairly short.
I realize that a lightsaber is not strictly a laser weapon, but I figure the principles are similar enough that such a thing could be made to work. I won't lie, it was also a way to have Milo's saber be somewhat distinctive from a technology standpoint.

I've also edited the description to include some focusing lenses, in addition to the gas.

A lightsaber, contrary to the association in the name, is a plasma weapon. So a laser-based technology isn't going to quite hold up here. There's a number of low-tech objects which have been used as a focusing crystal, which I would be more than happy to provide, that may keep the distinction you are looking for.
