PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: VesperForge (Subsidiary of VesperWorks)
Affiliation: VesperForge, VesperWorks, Project Vesper, Serina Calis, Atramentum
Market Status: Closed-Market
Model: VF-001 "Wraith Fang"
Modularity: No
Production: Semi-Unique
Material:

• Quadanium Edge Laminate: To enhance the cutting properties of the phrik, a razor-fine quadanium alloy is bonded to the edge via molecular adhesion techniques. Quadanium, already known for its use in starship hulls and hardened weapon casings, offers a sharpened cutting line just a few molecules thick, allowing the blade to achieve monomolecular lethality. This edge is surgically lethal, able to cut through carbon-fiber armor, flesh, and bone with little resistance.
• Matte Carbon-Tungsten Outer Skin: The outer sheath of the blade is wrapped in a nanocomposite of carbon fiber and tungsten dust, processed in a zero-light refraction pattern. This coating is optically null, reflecting less than 0.1% of ambient light, making the blade appear as a void even under direct illumination. It also offers resistance to corrosion, radiation, and chemical degradation—essential for operatives operating in hostile atmospheres or spaceborne missions.
• Phrik: The structural spine of the Wraith Fang is forged from phrik—a rare, ultra-durable metal known for its near-total resistance to lightsabers. Mined in trace amounts from deep orbit refineries and ancient war vaults, phrik is notoriously difficult to refine and shape. VesperForge uses micro-layered phrik composites, folded over multiple forging sessions in a vacuum-sealed environment to prevent contamination. This grants the blade unparalleled durability without compromising on weight or cutting performance.
• Sound-Dampening Polyweave Grip: The hilt is encased in a high-friction, sound-absorbent polymer weave interlaced with microbaffles. This deadens all physical handling noises, including the scrape of metal against sheathe, the slide of fingers across the grip, or even drops onto hard surfaces. It's resistant to blood, grime, and moisture, offering consistent handling even in extreme environments.
• Optical Masking Coating (Stealth Layer): A proprietary VesperForge invention, this nano-layer coating manipulates the way light scatters across the blade's surface. By diffusing visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths, it renders the Wraith Fang nearly invisible to standard and advanced sensor arrays, including motion trackers and IR scopes. Combined with the visual null of the matte finish, the blade can remain unseen even at close range.
• Biometric Memory Circuit (Hidden Component): Embedded in the pommel is a micro-biometric circuit that stores a singular user profile—heat pattern, grip pressure, pulse frequency. If handled by an unauthorized user, the blade will lock its edge magnetically (via localized hardening) or emit a low-power EMP to disable cybernetic implants or sensitive electronics nearby. This mechanism is shielded from scans and resistant to slicing.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Monomolecular Edge with Quadanium/Phrik Lamination
  The cutting edge of the Wraith Fang is formed through a molecular bonding process between ultra-hardened quadanium and a phrik alloy core. This results in a blade so fine it can sever materials on the molecular level, making it devastatingly effective against soft targets, light armor, and exposed joints. Despite its microscopic edge, it maintains integrity even after multiple strikes—something only achievable through precision phrik folding.
• Lightsaber-Resistant Phrik Core
  The inner body of the blade is constructed from phrik, one of the rare few materials in the galaxy capable of withstanding direct contact with lightsabers. While not intended for prolonged dueling, this resistance gives the user the ability to parry a saber strike in extremis, or survive encounters where most knives would melt instantly.
• Optical Masking Technology
  Utilizing a proprietary blend of carbon-tungsten mesh and an adaptive refractive nano-coating, the Wraith Fang renders itself nearly invisible to the naked eye, especially in low-light environments. This includes suppression across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared spectrums—making it almost impossible to track via standard optical devices or electronic sensor suites.
• Sound-Dampening Sheath and Hilt
  Every element of the blade's storage and deployment is engineered for complete silence. The sheath uses microbaffles and sonic insulation to prevent any frictional sound during draw or insertion. The grip's polyweave composite absorbs shock and motion noise, ensuring no hint of movement even in total silence. Useful in zero-atmosphere or covert infiltration where every decibel counts.
• Electromagnetic Signature Masking
  A low-power signal suppressor embedded in the hilt emits an EM dampening field, reducing the blade's electronic and magnetic profile to near zero. This allows the Wraith Fang to bypass starship security scans, battlefield sensors, or surveillance drones that rely on electromagnetic or metallic signature tracking.
• Ergonomic, Anti-Slip Tactical Grip
  The grip is anatomically contoured and molded for single-hand use, featuring subtle curvature to fit most humanoid hand structures. A diamond pattern along the polyweave surface allows for precise manipulation even in slick conditions (blood, rain, chemical exposure). Engineered to reduce fatigue in extended engagements.
• Biometric Lockout Circuitry
  The weapon is keyed to a singular genetic and biofeedback profile, encoded at the time of assignment. If used by someone not on file, the knife initiates one of several countermeasures: magnetically hardening the blade into a non-functional state, activating a low-grade EMP pulse, or in extreme cases, discharging a localized kinetic shock through the hilt to incapacitate the thief.
• Non-Reflective, Sensor-Silent Sheath
  The included sheath is constructed from durafiber weave coated with the same stealth tech as the blade, reinforced with a quadanium-ceramic matrix to shield the dagger from passive scans and invasive sensor sweeps. Includes body-armor mounting clips and under-arm rig compatibility for deep concealment.
• Force-Muting Inscription
  The Wraith Fang is inlaid with microscopic Sith runes that dampen the blade's presence in the Force, making it extremely difficult for even skilled Force users to detect the intent or presence of the weapon—ideal for assassins hunting Jedi, Sith, or other Force-sensitive targets.
• Edge Memory Retention Nanocoating
  A self-repairing nano-filament along the edge of the blade ensures it automatically sharpens itself at the molecular level after each use, maintaining lethal precision across hundreds of operations without requiring manual upkeep.

STRENGTHS

• Practically Invisible to the Eye and Machine:
  The Wraith Fang is cloaked in multiple forms of concealment: optical masking, non-reflective coating, and electromagnetic suppression. This makes it nearly undetectable to both organic and electronic observers, including motion sensors, IR scanners, and even many Force-based detection techniques. Whether carried in a sheath or drawn in combat, the blade visually vanishes into shadow—an ideal weapon for stealth operations where detection equals death.
• Lightsaber-Resistant Durability:
  Thanks to its phrik alloy core, the Wraith Fang can withstand brief clashes with lightsabers, offering a defensive option in last-ditch encounters with Force users. While not intended for prolonged blade-locks or dueling, its resilience ensures it will not melt, deform, or snap in the face of extreme heat, energy, or kinetic strain. This allows for counterplay in Force-sensitive engagements and makes the weapon one of the few daggers in the galaxy that can survive a brush with the Jedi or Sith.
• Monomolecular Cutting Edge:
  Forged with a bonded quadanium edge, the Wraith Fang possesses a cutting line only a few molecules wide, allowing it to slice cleanly through flesh, bone, fabric, light armor, and even some droid plating with minimal resistance. The blade requires little force to penetrate or sever, making it incredibly lethal even in the hands of a relatively low-strength user. Silent assassinations are not just possible—they're effortless.
• Elite Tactical Ergonomics:
  Custom-designed for grip comfort, blade retention, and counterbalance, the Wraith Fang features a highly stable, anti-slip grip that works in all climates and conditions. Its weight is calibrated to allow rapid slashing and controlled thrusting with equal ease, allowing trained operatives to perform precise, fluid attacks even while injured, under pressure, or upside down in low-grav environments.
• Biometric User Lockout
  The Wraith Fang cannot be used effectively by anyone but its assigned wielder. If stolen or picked up by an unauthorized user, the blade may deactivate, resist movement, or deliver non-lethal force via kinetic shock or EMP pulse. This protects mission integrity, prevents reverse engineering, and ensures that the blade dies with the assassin, if necessary.
• Self-Sharpening Maintenance Layer
  The blade edge is coated in a nano-repair sheath that preserves its lethality across dozens or even hundreds of uses. This makes the Wraith Fang an ideal long-term field weapon—no whetstone, no tech, no maintenance crew required. It remains deadly in sand, blood, acid rain, vacuum, or saltwater.
• Force-Presence Suppression:
  Production includes alchemically inscribed Sith runes etched so finely they are nearly invisible. These sigils suppress the weapon's presence in the Force, preventing Jedi or Sith from sensing intent or danger from the blade—even when it is drawn. This gives the wielder an edge in close-quarters combat against Force-sensitives who might otherwise sense the strike before it lands.

WEAKNESSES

• Extremely Limited Range:
  As a dagger, the Wraith Fang is only effective in close quarters, requiring the wielder to get within arm's reach of their target. In open battlefield scenarios or ranged engagements, it is functionally useless unless thrown (for which it is not optimized). Against armed or alert opponents, closing the distance can be both dangerous and tactically unfeasible without the element of surprise.
• Not Designed for Prolonged Combat:
  While deadly in a flash, the Wraith Fang is not a dueling weapon. It lacks the length, hand protection, or reach to be effective in a drawn-out melee. It excels in assassinations and silent takedowns—not in prolonged engagements, group fights, or against heavily armored enemies who are fully aware and prepared.
• High Production Cost and Scarcity:
  Constructed from phriks, quadanium laminates, and stealth-grade materials, the Wraith Fang is extremely expensive and time-consuming to manufacture. Each knife is bespoke, with components hand-forged and aligned to its user's biometric profile. As such, replacements are not readily available, and loss in the field can mean permanent deprivation of the asset for the agent—and severe risk to mission continuity.
• Inoperable by Unauthorized Users:
  The biometric lockout system is a critical security feature, but it also represents a significant liability if the assigned wielder is injured or killed. If a teammate attempts to use the Wraith Fang in a desperate moment, the blade may deactivate or even discharge a defense mechanism. This ensures loyalty and security—but at the cost of versatility in emergency situations.
• No Utility or Versatility Outside Combat:
  Unlike many field or survival knives, the Wraith Fang offers no multipurpose tools. It cannot be used for cutting wire, opening crates, breaching, or survival tasks. Its monomolecular edge and stealth features make it too delicate and specialized for anything other than surgical violence. Using it outside its intended design risks damaging the blade or reducing its combat effectiveness.
• May Attract Force Attention:
  The Sith inscriptions or Force-suppressing runes may ironically draw curiosity or suspicion from Force-sensitive individuals. While the blade's presence is muted, the very nature of its alchemical construction may create subtle disturbances in the Force when actually viewed by trained practitioners—especially Jedi with a history of dealing with Sith relics. What makes it invisible to scanners may make it interesting to those with deeper sight.
• Requires Specialized Training to Use Effectively:
  The Wraith Fang is not a tool for amateurs. Its razor-fine edge and balance make it difficult to handle without risking self-injury, and its stealth capabilities are meaningless if the user cannot apply them in practical close-combat scenarios. Without training in anatomy, stealth movement, or pressure-point targeting, a user will find it no more effective than a common vibroknife.
• Vulnerable to Magnetic and Ion Disruption:
  While resistant to traditional sensors, the Wraith Fang can be temporarily disabled by powerful ion blasts or electromagnetic suppression fields, which may short its biometric lockout or deactivate its stealth coating.

DESCRIPTION

The Wraith Fang is not a weapon in the traditional sense—it is a philosophy of violence refined into physical form. Forged in the hidden foundries of VesperForge, the clandestine bladeworks beneath Polis Massa, the Wraith Fang was designed to serve as the ultimate expression of silent lethality. Its purpose is singular: kill without warning, disappear without trace.

Originally commissioned as a proof-of-concept by Serina Calis for her elite Atramentum agents and deep-infiltration specialists, the blade represents the culmination of hundreds of years of stolen knowledge: from phrik-forging techniques preserved in Sith war archives, to optical masking technologies reverse-engineered from failed Blackwatch prototypes, to forbidden alchemical micro-runes etched so finely they can only be read under magnification by a Force-sensitive eye.

The Wraith Fang's monomolecular quadanium edge, bonded to a folded phrik alloy core, gives it peerless cutting power. It requires no momentum, no brute force—only placement. A single precise slash can open an artery. A single thrust can silence a life. Its lethality is so refined that it leaves virtually no noise, no cry, no reaction. The target falls as if willed to die.

Stealth is not an accessory. It is the soul of the Wraith Fang. The blade reflects almost no light, renders itself invisible to most sensors, and deadens sound in every aspect of use. From the soft haptic grip wrapped in polyweave sound-baffles to the optical-null carbon-tungsten skin, every component has been tuned for absolute silence and evasion. Sheathed or drawn, the weapon becomes an extension of the user's intent—imperceptible, inevitable, inescapable.

But this is not a tool for warriors. It is not a blade to carry into the noise of open battle. The Wraith Fang is meant for ghosts, assassins, and agents who do not exist on official records. Its reach is short, its margin of error thin. In the wrong hands, it is a beautiful death trap. In the right hands, it is the last thing a target will never see.

Each Wraith Fang is biometrically keyed to a single user. It will not function properly in the hands of another. If stolen, it may disable itself, shock the user, or emit a targeted EMP pulse to destroy nearby electronics. This prevents the technology from being reverse-engineered, and ensures total loyalty among its wielders.

The blade includes Sith alchemical inscriptions to suppress its presence in the Force, rendering it functionally invisible to Jedi senses. Due to this, the Wraith Fang has become infamous not only in force sensitive communities but in the shadows of the galactic underworld. It is whispered of in hushed voices by slicers, spies, and ex-commandos alike—because once you see it, you were the intended target.

The Wraith Fang is not mass produced. It is not sold on markets. It does not appear in catalogs. It is awarded—only to those who have earned Serina Calis' personal favor or proven themselves worthy of wielding death in its purest form.

To be given a Wraith Fang is not merely to be armed.
It is to be trusted with the untraceable.
It is to become a weapon yourself.
