Description: Orphen was never an excellent fighter, always preferring to be more of a marksman and a tactician than a duelist, and so, he created a duo of blades to reflect his ideal of holding a tactical advantage in combat. The weapon is sleek and stylish, much to his own liking and glows a brilliant amber-gold colour when ignited... Each of the two power sources in the blade are connected to one of two triggers just underneath the hand guard, allowing Orphen to wield a blade which is more effective against mechanical opponents or personal shields, or one with grater cutting potential if needed, or, activate both for an overall stronger cutting force. Using one source at a time allows the blade to have a backup system in case of EMP's, Ion strikes and other things which would render the weapon useless. Though, naturally, if both triggers are pulled and the weapon is hit with one such attack, both will be rendered unusable and in need of reboot or time.

Though the power sources is not the only tactical advantage of the triggers, making the activation switch manual and maintained makes the weapons harder to effect with techniques such as Trakata, also, each of the triggers runs on a three pressure system, almost like a very subtle gearbox, which controls the length of the blade, making it able to switch between a length little more than the length of a dagger on their first pressure, to the length of a long light saber when pulled down fully... The only other notable addition to this light-saber design is its power dial is interior, and has no external dial which has ease to access, meaning that effectively turning the ''safety'' on, is an act required by a force sensitive.

Overall, while the weapons have no grand advantage over another light-saber in practice, it's the tactical components and utility given by how the normal components have been assembled and integrated which gives this weapon an advantage against an enemy.
