TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Classification: Zwiehander Lightsaber
- Size: Two Handed/Giant
- [SIZE=11pt]Length: 180cm - Blade - 30cm Handle - TOTAL: 210cm/6.8ft[/SIZE]
- Weight: 10kg
- Extended Emitter Blade
- Lightsaber Resistant
- Blaster Resistant
- POWER: This greatsword was specifically designed to better suit the combat style of the Matador, and thus is much larger than a typical Zwiehander and due to being made out of Mandalorian Iron is much heavier to boot, with enough momentum behind the swing of the blade; the sword is nigh impossible for targets to contend with unless the contender is possibly even stronger than the Matador himself and carry equal momentum in their strikes.
- PARTIAL TO THE WARRIOR: This sword is not designed for duelling, it was solely made for crushing things. The Matador himself is incredibly strong, and therefore only beings is similar strength could wield it. Therefore, if he were to be disarmed, the likelihood of someone else using the weapon is very rare.
- RESISTANCE: Due to the weapons metal basis being made of Mandalorian Iron, the weapon is resistant to various forms of punishment and therefore is sturdier than a typical weapon and can clash with lightsabers and various forms of weaponry even if the lightsaber part is deactivated. The construction of the weapon also grants the weapon the ability to withstand strikes even to the hilt of the weapon.
- VERSATILITY: The nature of the weapon itself allows it to be used against Saber wielding users in multiple ways, using the blunt and sharp beskar skeleton that contains the blade to fight against enemies or using the saber itself to face off against opponents. This means the weapon can still be utilized against opponents that require pure kinetic force to defeat them.
Weaknesses:
- WHIRLWIND EFFECT: Once the blade is used in a committed strike, even its user is incapable of stopping the weapon mid-swing which therefore allows agile opponents to close the gap between themselves and the Matador if he were to miss a strike, leaving him open to attack.
- FATIGUE: The weapon by nature is cumbersome to carry, due to its length and obtuse weight. Prolonged use of the weapon in combat can lead to the user being tired out very quickly.
- CORTOSIS: When the lightsaber component of the weapon comes in contact with the material known as Cortosis, like any other lightsaber the Cortosis disturbs the flow of the blade from the extended emitter and will short out the weapon for an extended period of time.
DESCRIPTION
The Matador, throughout his younger years as a member of the Tol Varen was used to using sturdy and reliable weaponry forged from Mandalorian Iron. When he began to travel out into the Galaxy, he discovered the common weapon of both Jedi and Sith. He attuned a crystal to his own force affinity, a brilliant orange plasma escaping from his saber. However, it lacked the weight and reliability of the weapons he had used before. This came to his attention during the Blood Moon battle of Tython where he faced a Jedi who disabled his saber during combat, making it useless throughout the duration of the battle. The Matador wished to return to the reliable comfort of Mandalorian Iron, but wished to incorporate the vicious plasma that had granted him such power.
The weapon mirrors the image of a simplified medieval Zwiehander, in typical fashion being quite larger than the owner of the blade. Thus, giving the Matador great reach in combat with his blade. The versatility of the weapon allows it to be useful in various scenarios, whether that be cutting down lightly armoured foes the saber component of the weapon. Or, instead bashing heavily armoured opponents with the Mandalorian Iron crafted blade. However such an immense weapon requires great strength to wield it. Therefore, even with the Matadors beyond human levels of strength due to his Dravalan heritage, the weapon still is tiresome to use over extended periods of time.
