Changes: Lightfoil/Legends

Revision as of 16:47, 27 September 2008

Lightfoils were small and elegant energy swords based upon lightsaber design. Originally designed by the Sith of the Mecrosa Order, their quality was on par with that of Jedi lightsabers. They were best suited for use with one-hand in the Form II: Makashi style. After the Cleansing of the Nine Houses, with the Sith gone, the lightfoil begins to be made and used by non-Force sensitives, becomming popular among certain nobles of the Tapani Sector, especially those that called themselves "saber rakes". Post-Cleansing Lightfoils were weaker than authentic lightsabers due to the poor quality focusing crystals used in their manufacture and the relatively low level of craftsmanship compared to Jedi artisans. On the plus side, though, the knockoff lightfoils apparently did not require any connection to the Force to create, and were fully usable by non-Force sensitives.
