SPECIAL FEATURES

• Junkyard Crystal
• Personally Modified Activation Button
  • The modified activation button is calibrated to be significantly more sensitive to the slightest touch, allowing Shae'ri to trigger the lightsaber with minimal pressure. This heightened responsiveness dramatically reduces activation time, enabling the blade to ignite almost instantaneously when needed.
• Locking Activator
• Pressure Grip
• Personally Modified Blade Emitter
  • Shae'ri's personally modified blade emitter is finely tuned to work in direct conjunction with the hypersensitive activation button, allowing the plasma blade to emerge with exceptional speed the instant the weapon is activated. This specialized modification gives the lightsaber a noticeably faster ignition time than standard models, allowing the wielder to bring the blade to bear almost immediately.
• Crude Phobium Emitter
• Personally Modified Energy Cell
  • This modified energy cell has been overcharged and refined to deliver a substantially greater energy output, intensifying the plasma blade's destructive potential against both organic targets and droids.
• Dragite Lens
• Personally Modified Superconductor
  • Shae'ri's modified superconductor transfers energy between the emitter matrix and power cell at nearly three times the speed of an unmodified superconductor, allowing the lightsaber's internal systems to respond with exceptional efficiency. This accelerated energy transfer helps maintain a rapid, powerful plasma discharge while minimizing the delay between the weapon's power systems and emitter matrix.

STRENGTHS

• Junkyard Crystal
  
  • The activation of Junkyard Crystal, when the lightsaber powers up, produces a stronger, denser plasma blade, granting the lightsaber greater cutting power, impact strength, and overall destructive potency compared to standard kyber crystals. Its unusual composition also amplifies Shae'ri's Force-aligned abilities, increasing her potency and allowing techniques channeled through the crystal to carry greater strength and intensity. Despite its chaotic origins, the crystal possesses a strangely calming influence on her mind, helping Shae'ri quiet distractions, maintain emotional balance, and achieve a sharper state of focus while wielding the Force.
• Durability
  
  • The hilt’s layered construction of Cortosis, Dallorian Alloy, Durasteel, Madog Steel, Lithitanium, and Iron gives it exceptional resistance to impacts, heat, deformation, and the brutal stresses of lightsaber combat. Copper and Electrum reinforce the internal structure and conductive components, while the Leather wrapping provides a durable, shock-absorbing grip that allows the weapon to survive repeated abuse without becoming unusable. Even the Monofilament-based electrical wiring is built for extreme punishment, making the entire hilt a rugged patchwork of mismatched materials whose combined durability far exceeds what its scavenged origins would suggest.

WEAKNESSES

• Unstable
  
  • The plasma blade possesses an unstable, volatile nature caused by the infused Junkyard Crystal, resulting in subtle fluctuations in its energy output, shape, and intensity. The extensive modifications to the emitter and internal components further amplify this instability, particularly through the weapon’s quick-release system, which forces the blade to emerge with considerably greater speed and power than a standard lightsaber. While this rapid deployment makes the weapon exceptionally responsive, the sudden surge of energy can cause the blade to momentarily flicker, distort, or violently fluctuate before stabilizing in the hands of Shae'ri Mor.
• EMP/ION & Friends
  
  • The lightsaber's extensive modifications, as well as it's internal technological workings, make it particularly vulnerable to EMP and ION pulses, suppression fields, and lightsaber-nullification devices, any of which can disrupt or temporarily disable its internal systems. Certain Force-based offensive attacks can likewise interfere with the lightsaber's energy flow or destabilize the emitter matrix, causing the plasma blade to flicker, weaken, or shut down entirely. While the saber can recover once the disruption passes, repeated exposure can place considerable strain on its modified components and potentially leave the weapon unusable until it is recalibrated or repaired.

DESCRIPTION

The lightsaber, dubbed "Scrapborn", was born from Shae’ri Mor’s refusal to accept that a lightsaber had to be constructed according to conventional Jedi or Sith standards. During her time among the sprawling junkyards of Mahporeem, Shae’ri gathered discarded machinery, damaged weapons, industrial components, and fragments of forgotten technology, carefully selecting anything that could be repurposed into a functional lightsaber.

Its hilt was consequently manufactured as a deliberate patchwork of metals and alloys, incorporating Cortosis, Copper, Electrum, Iron, Lithitanium, Dallorian Alloy, Durasteel, and Madog Steel, with Leather used for its grip and monofilament-based electrical wiring salvaged from discarded equipment connecting its modified internal systems.

Rather than hiding the mismatched origins of these materials, Shae’ri embraced them, creating a weapon whose rough, asymmetrical appearance became a reflection of Mahporeem itself; a place where broken things were not necessarily useless, but simply waiting for someone creative enough to give them another purpose.

The construction process was painstaking and often dangerous, as Shae’ri had to experiment with incompatible materials, improvise replacement components, and repeatedly rebuild portions of the weapon whenever a modification failed. The finished hilt became more than a collection of scavenged parts when Shae’ri incorporated the Junkyard Crystal, whose unusual properties required further alterations to the emitter, energy systems, and internal circuitry to accommodate its unstable power output.

Every component was subsequently modified to work in conjunction with the others, producing a weapon with an exceptionally rapid blade deployment, powerful plasma output, and a distinctive instability that could never have been achieved through conventional manufacturing alone. To Shae’ri, the completed weapon represented her very philosophy regarding castoffs; nothing is truly worthless, and even the most broken pieces can become something formidable when given enough ingenuity, patience, and determination.
