DESCRIPTION
Grand Moff
Lirka Ka
gifted the weapon - named the ‘Taxman’s Embrace’ in ur-Kittât - to Tithe following the Battle of Mygeeto. While the two had long worked together as Sith-Imperial governors and shared a respectful working relationship, the Sephi warlord saw something she liked in Tithe in the aftermath of the battle. Ka personally designed the weapon than had the enslaved Mandalorian craftsmen under her command construct it.
Tithe had experience using bludgeon weapons - he carried a SI-HB-2 Power Mace during the Mygeeto campaign and used it against
Gat Tambor
when he infiltrated the SIBC Central Vaults. He plans to use the electrohammer as a weapon of intimidation when dealing with recalcitrant negotiations.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

SPECIAL FEATURES
- Integrated AvXRD Ripper’ Artificial Intelligence Melee Weapon Assist - when activated the device uses a variety of sensors to evaluate the surrounding area and the actions of opponents, then makes minor corrections to swing angle and velocity to compensate for Tithe’s lack of combat training.
- Agrinium/Laminasteel alloy frame - a strong yet lightweight hybrid material which protects the internal components while allowing the electrohammer to be easily wielded.
- Electrum plating - a purely stylistic addition, which adds a sense of flamboyance and extravagance suited to Tithe’s personality.
STRENGTHS
- Aimbot - an integrated AvXRD’ Ripper’ Artificial Intelligence Melee Weapon Assist module constantly scans the immediate area with a variety of sensors to understand the actions and movements of enemies. It then uses miniature repulsorlifts to modify swings and attacks to correct for mistakes, which are common for a fighter as inexperienced as Tithe.
- Weapon of fear - when activated, the garish weapon with its crackling electric blade strikes dread into the hearts of Tithe’s enemies.
WEAKNESSES
- Power hungry - in the pursuit of style over substance, the weapon’s gaudy design means that powercell is smaller than those used in combat electrohammers. The electroblade can only be activated for a few minutes before the powercell needs to be swapped out.
- Ceremonial - designed for style over substance, a lightsabre can easily slice the Agrinium/Laminasteel alloy, which only provided limited protection against vibroblades.
