DESCRIPTION
The lightsaber of Jedi Knight Jaa Harand has seen better days.

Originally a pristine piece of Jedi artistry, the Alderaan merchant selected Sarrassian iron for its durability and ease of upkeep. Comfort was supplied by wrapping the grip with leather, making it a simple and unassuming weapon. The leather used, however, had been treated with durinium. By wrapping the leather around the crystalline matrix and power supply, the lightsaber commonly passed through scanners without detection for what it really was. Instead, automated weapon detection protocols or law enforcement droids would read it as a tool or some other non-powered device.

The Alderaani Jedi constructed the lightsaber in the late 860s, when, at 25 years of age, he found himself a knight-errant of the New Jedi Order. In the ensuing decade of use, the weapon picked up a number of nicks or scratches by the time that the man had taken a padawan by the name of Calix. The pair departed the Core for the Outer Rim on a multi-year voyage to recover a medicinal flower from the Kathol Outback. When Jaa was killed along the journey, the damaged lightsaber fell into the possession of his surviving padawan.

When activated, the blade shone a vibrant blue color, the shade most often associated with the Jedi Guardians.

 

[Listib Hibin]

"Not to be crudely mistaken for someones torch or club, this is a tool of the Jedi Knights. For Generations, they have been the symbol of peace and justice in the Dark Times. When one has to be protected, to those that would not listen to reason or pleas, that is when a Jedi must wield their lightsaber, for it is their extension and with it, an extension of who they are to those around them, it defines them."
