Energy swords, sometimes called Flameswords, were an ancient development in weaponry on the planet Velmor, similar to lightsabers, consisting of a plasma charged blade powered by a power cell in the hilt, with a pair of velmorite crystals used for focusing. While similar to the lightsaber of the Jedi Knights, the energy sword was not comparable in strength to the Jedi weapon, although it was deadly and precise. Lightsabers were also called energy swords, but the two weapons were considered distinct.

Energy swords had mainly ceremonial uses: Velmorian duel traditions settled disputes with energy swords, and very elderly Jedi and Sith used them for ceremonies. Jax Pavan, a private investigator and former Jedi Knight, briefly used one as a replacement for his destroyed lightsaber.
