OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Vibroblade
  • Size: Average
  • Weight: Average
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Echani markings on the hilt and blade
  • Super-Cooled to maintain the blade's alignment (icy to touch)
STRENGTHS
  • Cortosis Weave: Thanks to the cortosis woven into the blade of each vibroblade, they are capable of blocking and parrying lightsabers, as well as having some (lesser) resistance to blaster fire.
  • Robust: Riyo forged these vibroblades and wove the cortosis into them with the help of Echani weaponsmiths, allowing the blades to be insulated against damage from sparring and light combat.
WEAKNESSES
  • Not a Lightsaber: Unlike Riyo's lightsaber, these blades have a weight on them, and as such Riyo must adjust to their weight and inertia and take it into account when fighting with them.
  • Vibroblade: an Ionic blast to the hilts could render the vibration pack of the blades inert, greatly decreasing the utility of the weapons
DESCRIPTION

To the Echani people, combat is as much a long-wided conversation as it is an exercise, training, or battle to the death, and as such, the Echani have refined and perfected various arts throughout the ages, including that of weaponsmithing. Echani vibroblades, dating back at least to before the Mandalorian wars, were designed to serve as the off-handed counterpart to a full-sized vibrosword, containing cortosis weave to block incoming lightsaber strikes and being super-cooled to keep the blade aligned with deadly precision.

Being helped by Echani weaponsmiths from her Mother's household, who supported her joining the Jedi, Riyo created two of these blades, not to serves as the off-hand for a larger weapon but to serve as her primary weapons, befitting her shorter stature and wirier style of combat. The result is two Wakizashi-style blades, each about 32cm (12.6") in length, which Riyo sheathes crossed on her back or hanging from her hips, depending on the situation.
