Halberd
Beskar (Material)
Blood-eating fungus (Biological Entity on Blade)
- Manufacturer: Insectoid Union - Xaraxunia's Tribe
- Affiliation: Xaraxunia
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: The Fist of Ages
- Modularity: No modularity. It is considered a holy relic by the Insectoid Union, and it is not to be tampered with or altered. Although some pirates and mercenary-types have temporarily gotten their hands on The Fist of Ages, they did not live long before being bisected by the talons of Xaraxunia!
- Production: Unique
- Material: Part of the blade is made out of a strange black material that looks like obsidian, but shifts back and forth on the blade like a living being. The rest of the weapon is a large and decorative piece of beskar. which may have once belonged to a Mandalorian ship.
- Classification: Halberd - Long, sweeping polearm with both an axe-handle and a spear.
- Size: Large
- Weight: Heavy
- Strange Material: There is a strange, living material that the Kobok have deemed "Type V Infection" moving overtop of the obsidian blade. It exists solely on the blade of the Fist of Ages, but it also seems to exist in the mines of a few planets. They don't know what it is, but it seems to be some sort of living tar that moves like a slug. It is a living being, it feels pain, and it is able to speak to the Morneau / Insectoid hivemind. It speaks primarily in the language of the Hivemind of Koboth, and it has full sentience. Upon further inspection, the Kobok discovered that it was a fungus. It is believed that when Type II infection (Space Slug) beings die in a space vacuum, they eventually regroup on floating spaceships as this "living fungus", which they call "obsidian slugs". The obsidian slugs are poorly understood and they are considered a type of holy being on Koboth, secondly only to The Queen. When Xaraxunia travels through space, there are times when The Fist of Ages collects these obsidian slugs, being drawn through the gills of the Space Slugs as they breathe. The obsidian slugs return to the Fist of Ages, strengthening it as Xaraxunia travels.
STRENGTHS
- Capable of Locking with Lightsabers: The beskar and the biological entity are both able to block and lock with lightsabers as if it were a lightsaber.
- Allows blocking of blaster fire: The Fist of Ages is so massive, it can be held like a staff. Xaraxunia can swing the blunt end forward just like a shield.
- Does a very high amount of cutting damage to most enemies: The halberd can mortally wound and knock enemies down, and even chop off limbs (defender decides!).
- Added biological effect: Just from fighting Xaraxunia and the Fist of Ages, the opponent character has a chance of being infected by the mysterious and not-well-understood "Koboki Illness", which could potentially transform the opponent into an insectoid or a Morneau character (defender decides!). The obsidian slugs are carnivorous, and they will eat anything that is slain by the Fist of Ages, forming more obsidian slugs, more insectoids, and more Morneaus!
WEAKNESSES
- Strongly susceptible to biological damage: Because the Aminozurzt has a living entity inside of it, the sword can be dulled with corrosive or caustic substances. A corrosive substance can kill the obsidian slugs, but this will infuriate Xaraxunia.
- Strongly subsceptible to cold and fire damage: The entity inside the halberd doesn't like temperature changes. This will also affect Xaraxunia's movement.
- Slow, jagged and sweeping attacks. A fast character or a character with good ranged abilities could overwhelm Xaraxunia while he is using the Fist of Ages, and then he would need to use a different weapon.
- Tear gas and corrosive attacks do double damage: Attacks such as tear gas do twice as much damage because insectoids like Xaraxunia have to breathe twice; and if he using the Fist of Ages, he must breathe a third time on behalf of the obsidian slugs.
- Force Weakness: The Aminozurzt is a living entity and so force attacks affect Xaraxunia greater than usual when he is using the Aminozurzt. What is more, force attacks can begin to kill the obsidian slugs.
- Not Good Up Close: Xaraxunia will need to switch to another weapon once an attacker gets closer than 3-5ft.
DESCRIPTION
This powerful halbred is an antique, being passed down since the days of the ancient Golden Carapace Clan on Xaraxunia's home planet of Koboth. It is one of a kind, and it has been called Aminozurzt aka "The Jewel of Koboth". Though it is one relic among many, "The Fist of Ages" was found in the scorched Sorrowlands, shortly after solar flare activity. It was covered in a thick black material. Upon further inspection, this was a blood-eating fungus which the Koboth Union deemed "Type V infection". This black gunk had an extra-planetary origin, possibly from neighboring Triani. As Xaraxunia used this powerful "Fist of Ages", he found that he and his own clan grew twice the size of the other insectoids. The "Fist of Ages" is the subject of the perpetual Koboth Insectoid Civil War: the one who owns the Fist of Ages is the true and undisputed ruler of Koboth. Millions of insect lives have been lost in constant battle and conquest, merely to hold the Fist of Ages in their exoskeletal hands. The warriors represented two dozen or so tribes, distinguished by their carapace armor color and superficial mannerisms. It is Xaraxunia, the largest and toughest bug of them all, who has held the Fist of Ages for the longest. Xaraxunia and the Red Carapace warriors fought long and hard for dominance of Koboth, and soon, they shall have their Insectoid Union.
