Description: Built as a gift using Phrik from the Moross Crusade, the "Gourd Of Doom" or "Swinging GOD" is a gourd that was grown in a nutrient mixture including powdered colloidial Phrik and Bacta. The gourd began to develop the energy resistance of the Phrik while still maintaining a suppleness to be worked, carved by an artisan who Vorhi had saved during the Invasion of Naboo by the Confederacy of independent systems.
The carbon fiber cable is supple and flexible, and the hardness of the gourd allows it to be used as a fairly quick bludgeon in times of urgency, such as a bar brawl. The Bacta saturation within the gourd's flesh isn't sufficient to have an effect on the drinker, but it does tend to keep drinks fresher on long journeys via a preservative effect. Alternatively, the cable can be used to grapple an opponent, although it cannot cut flesh like a garrote or slice-wire.
The most useful feature of the gourd, however, is that it does not appear to be a weapon with defensive or offensive properties even upon thorugh inspection. While his clawed gauntlets and grenades may be confiscated upon search, no one would think to steal a blind man's drinking gourd. Well, except really, really mean guards.
