Ajunta Pall's blade

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Ajunta Pall's Blade was used by the Sith Lord Ajunta Pall during the Hundred-Year Darkness, and was laid to rest with him in his tomb on Korriban.

Ajunta Pall built a fierce reputation during and after his time. One of the ways he did this was through his double-bladed sword. Some people believed that it was his sword that gave Ajunta his power, but Pall himself thought that it was the source of his corruption. Jedi Master Pernicar also considered that a Sith lightsaber corrupted his former Padawan, Wud Mortull, to the dark side. Neither of these instances are related, but are similar enough to evoke thought on the abilities of Sith weapons.

[edit] Revan finds the sword

During the Jedi Civil War, Revan would enter Ajunta's tomb to get this sword, so he could gain prestige in the eyes of the master of the nearby Sith Academy, Uthar Wynn.

Revan found the double-bladed sword, along with two ordinary swords, in Ajunta's sarcophagus. After a conversation with the spirit of the long dead Sith Lord, he correctly decided which sword was the correct one. After doing this Revan showed Ajunta the way back to the light side, finally calming his tortured soul.

Before leaving, however, Ajunta warned Revan about the corruption within the sword. He told Revan that if he was wise, he would not keep the sword, in order to avoid a similar fate.

When the Jedi Exile arrived on Korriban five years later, it was unknown what Revan had done with the ancient artifact.

Nearly four thousand years later, at the time of the Galactic Civil War, Imperial Staff Sergeant Rothax rewarded an Imperial soldier for several victorious battles against the Rebel Alliance with a Sith sword that was rumored to be a close replica of Ajunta Pall's sword.^[1]
