Talk:Darksaber
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The New Jedi Order Sourcebook mentions some sort of superweapon used by Booster Terrik on the Venture, and says something about it being purchased from the Hutts, the word Darksaber shows up a few times. Can anyone double check the NJO books (I think it might be the Edge of Victory ones)? —Unsigned comment by LightWarden (talk • contribs).

I don't think I can post the paragraph here, but it's on page 117 of the New Jedi Order Sourcebook published by Wizards of the Coast, page 117. —Unsigned comment by LightWarden (talk • contribs).
- I read it as he bought the plans for a Darksaber but not the actual one the Hutts used, it was destroyed was it not? —Unsigned comment by The Broox (talk • contribs).
The actual Darksaber was destroyed, yes, but I'm sure the plans would have remained in the possession of the Besadii kajidic. I don't see any harm in posting an excerpt:
"Terrik's latest secret weapon is a mystery to all but the smuggler and his top officers. Rumored to have been purchased from the Hutts, the device takes up a huge section of the Star Destroyer's central axis and runs almost the length of the vessel. Charging the weapon takes several minutes, but firing it once will - reputedly - destroy anything in its path up to a light-year away. Many of the engineers who worked on connecting the weapon to the ship and ensuring that it works frequently whisper the word 'Darksaber,' but Booster Terrik merely says, 'What secret weapon?'"
I believe it was written to explain this passage from Edge of Victory I: Conquest:
"'Get out of there, fast,' Jaina said. 'We'll keep these pups off you. Corran Horn's out here, too. I almost pity the Vong.'
But if I clear...
Believe me,' Jaina said, 'you'll want to be clear.
Anakin breathed a sigh of relief as the turbolaser came back on-line. 'I've got the back door,' he told his siblings. 'You just clear a path. Vehn, better do what they want.'
'Whatever you say,' Vehn said sarcastically. And then he just gasped. Anakin didn't see why until they were on the other side of the Errant Venture. By that time, the Yuuzhan Vong ship was blazing like a newborn star."
And it's one of the many reasons I firmly believe that the Empire would have stomped the Vong. Superlaser > dovin basal. —Darth Culator (talk) 15:50, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for that, Darth Culator. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 21:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
