Description: Gabriel, when given time for his own thoughts on Sulon, set out to create a weapon for Chevu Visz. Prone to bouts of poetic tendencies, he decided to create her weapon that might illustrate the characteristics of their relationship. Taking a lava crystal from Sullust and a permafrost crystal from Hoth (pillaged from what remained in the Star Viper when he originally arrived at Sullust), he began building a double bladed lightsaber with the intent to produce capabilities to perform as separate sabers if the desire arises.
He started the process by first contacting Alric Kuhn, in regards to the production of VT-Disruptor Lens. Due to the likelihood that Chevu would fight against the Yuuzhan Vong horde in the near future, this was a requirement of the weapon. After that, he focused on condensing the hilt and removing the susceptibility to cortosis via extraction of Dimetris circuits within the activation loop. On top of this, internal components were locked within conductive gaskets that allowed for a water seal that works in tandem with a bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse.
The body hilt itself is composed of refined Turadium, blackened to prevent corrosion, erosion, acid damage, and rust. The parts were fabricated in Barons hed, by a vendor that owed Gabriel a favor. A matter of a daughter being hassled, something Gabriel had swiftly dealt with. The hilt includes symmetrical controls for each beam, including manual blade power adjustment, discharge energy cells, and blade length adjustment knobs. The joining hilts have no pommel, and thus no spare battery, and lock together with tongue and groove slides. As such, maintenance is required to keep the ends clean or the hilts could stick together, preventing separation. The hilt comes with a standard set of activator switches which can be pressed physically, locked in place, or manipulated via the force.
The most impressive characteristics of the saber are the varying color of the two beams. Due to the difference in the crystals, Ardor glows with the characteristics of molten lava. Gelu glows a frosty blue and is tuned specifically to the force signature of Chevu Visz, acting as a focusing crystal.
With the exception of the inclusion of the VT-Disruptor Lens and the removal of the dimetris circuits in the activation loop, the lightsaber is inherently standard in all but cosmetics. In many schools of thought, the saber staff is a weakened weapon, compared to the standard counterpart, as the use requires excess energy and reduced efficacy, especially against single opponents. While the interlocking component and ability to separate may mitigate this, the fact remains that the utilization requires extra training and experience. It's simply not a weapon that can be picked up and used without previous experience, even by those experienced with a standard lightsaber.
