Approved Tech Sasori Hilt

[Matsu Ike]

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: To create a saber hilt that is a more easily accessed master crafted hilt for custom sabers
• Image Source: N/A
• Canon Link: N/A
• Restricted Missions: N/A
• Primary Source:
  Trapped grip
• Blade power adjustment knob
• Pressure grip
• Bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse

PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Sasori Research
• Model: Saber Hilt
• Affiliation: Closed-Market (Any character can use this if they have explicit permission through, for example, a marketplace purchase)
• Modularity: Design
• Production: Semi-Unique (Only A Handful of Characters)
• Material:
  Sasori Inth
• Secondary Jolt Cell

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Advanced design
• Biometric pressure grip

Strengths:
Advanced Casing: Designed with advancements in biometrics and design. The saber takes the specialized components of other sabers. Allowing it to be used underwater and have a secondary power cell to protect from others not authorized to use it into a state of unconsciousness with the sabers trap grip

• Waterproof Casing: Bifuricating cyclical ignition pulse
• Saber Resistant Hilt: Reinforced duraplast within the inth casing
• Biometric Identification: Sensors along the hilt
• Trap Hilt: Secondary cell for security purposes
• Ion/Emp Resistant Casing: Reinforced duraplast within the inth casing

Lightside Restricted: Created by the synthweave, the connection to the user and the crystal make the saber unable to be used by darksiders without focus and time to break it.

Weaknesses:
Heavier: Increased weight (4kg as opposed to usual 2-2.5) over the standard hilts

Force Beacon: With the weave built into the hilt and metal it makes the saber hilt when in the hands of a jedi or a force user a beacon of lightside energy

Exposed Sections: The pressure grips biometric sensors that are along the outside of the hilt are vulnerable to deactivating the saber and making it unusable for a time until the external sensors can be replaced


DESCRIPTION
Designed by Sasori for jedi within the Jedi Order or any of the others who wish to use it. THe hilt is made a little heavier using the Sasori Inth alloy which gives it reinforced duraplast protecting from ion and emp weapons as well as being cut in two easily. The weave within functioning to make it more attuned with the jedi wielding it as they can make their hilt into their own more easily thanks to the crystals. (requires personal submission for force enhancement) The smaller secondary jolt cell while not something for making the saber itself function works for the biometric pressure grip. A means to lock the saber to the user and if someone else tries to use it not authorized or recognized then the saber will send a shock to stun and knock out the one trying to use it. The components that sasori uses for its normal hilts with different jedi who have requested customized hilts are aall present minus the cortosis immune circuits that are for special orders and students.

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

This is a very interesting submission, since its focus seems to be to never have the weapon used against its master. Definitely respect that. However, there seems to be no truly restrictive drawbacks to this specialized, biometric protected weapon. 1.5 to 2 kgs extra would mean little to a trained force user.

I can accept biometric ID but that must go hand in hand with leaving the weapon vulnerable to either EMP/ion damage and even slicing. Either have one: Bio-ID, or EMP protection. Reason: the sensor is exposed somehow to take that reading in the first place.

A Saber resistant hilt means using something like Cortosis. Specify what material protects against sabers. If you keep this, please put production run to Unique. Otherwise, remove that the hilt can resist a lightsaber strike.

Finally, weapons should never be stated to automatically cause unconsciousness to another player. You may reduce that failsafe effect to either: sabotaging the saber into a non-usable state without repair, or cause the unauthorized user a mild shock that could be negated with the use of gloves, or keeping the feature but making the hilt unstable and prone to backfire if damaged.

Reinforced Duraplast which is used in the inth alloy is noted in the canon as strong against emp/ion and sabers... as well as lasers, slugs, grenades and some more.

Duraplast was a type of metal used during production of durable equipment. It was much stronger than many other metals, and was thus widely used throughout the galaxy by Imperial and New Republic Navies. The main element used in synthesizing duraplast was carbon.
Duraplast was also used in armor, such as Katarn-class commando armor and variants of Mandalorian armor, and was capable of offering protection up to light grenades, Verpine shatter gun rounds, medium slugs, and light laser cannon rounds. Duraplast could also be reinforced to be extremely resistant to EMP and ion cannon warfare. Duraplast also offered very strong protection against lightsabers.

A trapped grip does actually a lot more as it doesn't stop shocking the one holding it if they are not the ones who know how to use it.

A trapped grip was a special lightsaber modification. It was essentially a hidden booby trap integrated into the lightsaber's handle that would harm any unauthorized person who tried to activate it. The trap was disarmed by the lightsaber's wielder by a simple action, such as pressing down on a hidden sensor or twisting a knob. Otherwise, an energy discharge would damage the person for as long as they held the lightsaber without disarming the trap

I will reword the trapped grip to be more ambiguous and open but that is the sole function of it to literally shock someone until they let go
