- Lightsaber Blades with Rubat Crystals often have sharp looking appearances and definition, allowing the blade to be tracked more easily and struck at targets with more precision. The blades also swing faster due to lessened gyroscopic forces
- Customizable
- Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse
- Rip and Tear: Even the simplest Lightsaber made for genuine field use can cut through almost anything, save rare or Alchemized Materials, and of course other Lightsabers. They are omni directional, and nearly weightless save for the powerful gyroscopic effect when active that takes skill to learn how to work with, lessened in Lightsaber blades with Rubat crystals which allows their owners increased swing and stab speeds
- Deflector: Most Lightsaber Blades have the ability to deflect blaster bolts or even, in some cases, with the correct training, upgrades, or both, reflect them back upon their source. Long time users of Rubat blades may become more skilled at deflecting multiple sources of blaster fire in front of them, or more skilled at fighting Multiple opponents in duels
- Fight anywhere: Both Ancient and modern examples can function in space, and, with Bi-furcating Cyclical Ignition Pulse Tech, function underwater. There are many Ancient examples discovered with this modification as well
- Attunement: Attuned crystals may become potent tool for meditation and responds much more easily to the user as time moves on, especially in duels against other opponents. It may also become much easier to sense and manipulate with the Force, Specifically Telekinesis, Or it May Channel or grind Force Lightning easier.

War Dragon Rider Lightsaber
A Variety of Lightsaber Components exist, and the most pertinent ones for users often include:
Emitter Matrix
Focusing Lens
Diatum Power Cell
Crystal Chamber (Extremely Ancient and some unique modern Variants Exist that had up to three crystal housings. For the purpose of this sub, it is limited to Rubat Crystals Only, and altering more than the lens, the emitter, and the power cell, as well as the number of crystal chambers, will require a new sub with this sub as a base. Blanket free permission is given for any member who finds this sub to do so)
NOTE: This Sub can be paired with Semi Unique lens, power cell, and emitter subs without the need to create a whole new sub for each, so long as subs can be removed from hilt easily IC
- Rep Maker: Even Millennia after it's introduction, Lightsabers and their exotic variants are still near universally respected and feared. How you use it is up to you, but if you do and let the Galaxy see it, you'll have a high chance of getting a reputation for better or worse.
- PC--Friendly: The sub has been made specifically open market OOC so that players can have as nice and neat a sub as possible that allows them to get into Force User Role Play so they don't have to spend hours hunting Wookieepedia and just use a Barab Crystal Lightsaber and pass this sub out as reward loot for stories and quests or as a starting weapon for new Force Characters
- Cortosis: Bog Standard Lightsabers and their variants typically cannot or otherwise have great difficulty cutting through anything with Cortosis. Most Lightsabers will also shut down if exposed to pure Cortosis and must be reset to be reactivated
- Sonics: Sonic Projectiles typically bend around ordinary Lightsaber Blades
- Slugthrowers: Solid ammo typically melts when hitting lightsaber blades, potentially causing splash damage and making bullets extremely difficult to defend against
- Paddle Beams: Paddle Beams typically bend around these Lightsaber Blades
- Force Voids: Most Lightsabers will typically shut off in Force Voids
- Breakage ChanceThey also have a very slight chance of breaking to synth blades like most natural Saber Blades.
- Modifications may affect performance: Altering these "common" Rubat Lightsabers Power Cell, Lens, and Emitter may make them excellent for some situations but weaker in others, and these weaknesses and strengths grow more or less pronounced given the variant of Lightsaber one is using. The Variants of each Lightsaber itself have a wide variety of pros and cons each if found IC, and due to its nature, it cannot be used in all varieties of Lightsaber without serious compromises in performance and practicality. Also, due to the intense power, they also need to be repaired more often, even without modifications, as parts tend to wear out quicker.
Lightsabers have been in use for thousands of years by various Force Orders and come in many forms. Rubat Crystal Lightsabers were once the norm for Jedi before Ilum was discovered, and nearly all encountered examples of Rubat powered Sabers today tend to come from that time period, though there is nothing preventing a modern vanilla version from being crafted save time and resources. Often found on a Force User's person, they are often tied to that individuals very being, and can be located in ancient tombs, vaults, or taken off the slain bodies of their owners. Can come in any color. Excellent all around blades good for duels or crowds
