STRENGTHS

• Lightsaber Traits
• Zapis Bark - Zapis is a rare tree native to the planet Rishi. It is used in traditional medicine by the natives, capable of treating natural poisons. Known only to a few is the fact that the tree is Sensitive to the Force, allowing Pyeth to use it as an aid for meditation and bolster his Force Healing abilities.

• Lightsaber Vulunerabilities - Pyeth's lightsaber is no different from others of its kind, being vulnerable to lightsaber resistant materials. For example, Cortosis, phrik, and songsteel are all lightsaber resistant materials.
• Unable to function underwater.

DESCRIPTION:

Pyeth never got the opportunity to acquire a Kyber Crystal while serving the Knights of Obsidian, spending nearly a year with an empty shell. Over time he would make adjustments and expand upon its design, but the weapon did not come to fruition until his return to Rishii. Returning he found the planet devasted by greedy and desperate corporations feeding the war effort with their Exonium Mines at the expense of the native Rishi populations who saw nothing in return.

Spending months on the planet Pyeth assisted the Raffinki tribe in overcoming the ghost plague, and in the process, uncovering the circumstances of his exile. This journey would take him into the hearts of the motherworlds jungle and face all the trials she had to offer, during this journey he would encounter his wounded father who had undertaken the same quest. Unable to heal him Pyeth would take a piece of Aeien Silk from his equipment and move on. Days later he meet Arankau, a Zulirian Swordsmaster who would nurse him back to health and later teach Pyeth Tirspzest.

Arankau would direct Pyeth to a nearby grove, where he would find a Zapis tree. Following up on this, Pyeth found himself reliving his past and being offered the opportunity to change the actions that led to his exile. He ultimately refused and found himself in the grove, the sap of the tree crystalising into an amber that would become his Kyber Crystal.
