A beskad forged by the master beskarsmith, Ijaat Akun, the Cabur be Mando'ade (Guardian of the Sons and Daughters of Mandalore) is a masterwork blade like no other. Perfectly balanced and sharpened to a razors' edge, the weapon is as much a work of art as it is a tool of war. Designed as a single handed blade for use alone or with a shield or shield variant, the weapon is named for it's purpose: to defend the Mandalorian people in peace and war and to serve as a symbol for the self appointed duties of the Mandalorian Protectors.
The weapon is unadorned of any alchemy or Force imbuement and is forged of beskar making it lightsaber resistant and nigh indestructible. The weapon is new, freshly forged and assembled, but even now speaks of legends made and broken soon and in the far future.
Intent: To create a personal weapon for Arrbi Betna
Development Thread: Same as above
Manufacturer: Ijaat Akun
Model: N/A
Affiliation: Arrbi Betna
Modularity: N/A
Production: Unique
Material: Beskar, wood, leather wrapping.
Classification: Ax
Size: One-handed
Length: 74cm
Weight: 3kg
Special Features:
- Masterwork - Forged by a master smith, the ax is appropriately balanced and perfectly forged. As much a work of art as a weapon, the ax often performs better than equivalent weapons in many areas.
- Beskar - Forged of beskar and featuring a sheath of beskar covering the front and back of the handle, the ax is lightsaber resistant and near indestructible. The handle is still wood, but as it is plated, front and back, with Mandalorian Iron, the wielder need not fear losing the ax head in battle to a blow or strike.
- Helm Splitter - A name to fit its reputation, the Shuk'buy'ce is designed as most war-axes are designed: to penetrate armor of many kinds. Plenty of force behind a smaller cutting edge means that at a full strike, little can stand up to the weapon. A blow from the ax will pierce most light armor and many forms of medium armor. Unfortunately, heavy armor requires many blows forcing the wielder to aim for weaker areas of a foe's defenses.
Forged at the same time as it's sibling, the Shuk'buy'ce (Helm Splitter - Lit. Breaker of Helmets) is a masterwork war-ax crafted of beskar. Designed for devastating blows capable of piercing many forms of armor, the weapon is primarily used on the offense in battle. It features a beskar sheath attached to the front and back of the entire handle to protect the weapon from blows attempting to sever the ax head from the handle and is adorned with intricate leather wrappings to provide a better grip to the user.
The weapon is designed to be used alone, with a second weapon, or with a shield. Due to the physics of ax weapons, a full blow from the Shuk'buy'ce can easily pierce many forms of light armor as well as some variants of medium armor. Heavy armor tends to thwart the attack, but repeated blows or deliberately aiming for weak points in armor can still easily threaten a foe.
