Freedon Nadd's short lightsaber was a bronze-bladed, short lightsaber that belonged to the Sith Lord Freedon Nadd.^[1] When he constructed the weapon,^[5] Nadd utilized a rubat lightsaber crystal in the blade^[4] and chose a straight, cylindrical hilt style.^[1] After training with and later destroying the spirit of Naga Sadow, the Sith lightsaber was part of Nadd's personal arsenal when he brought his dark rule to the planet Onderon. Only someone who had embraced the dark side could wield the lightsaber.

In 3,951 BBY,^[2] companions of Meetra Surik broke into the tomb of Freedon Nadd on the planet Dxun in order to prevent the Sith from aiding a coup d'etat on Onderon^[1] and took the lightsaber from Nadd's sarcophagus.^[3]

Behind the scenesEdit

Freedon Nadd's lightsaber was first alluded to in the 2001 The Dark Side Sourcebook. The weapon later appeared in the 2005 video game, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, which also expanded on the specific details of the lightsaber. For the sake of completeness, this article assumes that the player picks up the lightsaber from the sarcophagus, although they may choose not to do so.
