OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Energy Rapier based off the laser blade found in Electro-bisento's, enabling it to parry and block lightsabers. Possesses the strength of an average Vibro weapon but has omnidirectional cutting ability.
Fast attack speed.
Hand guard generates a mini, circular energy shield in front of the guard to aid in parrying and minor Blast Deflection
Emitter can be swapped out for one that emits a flat, double edge shaped blade
Length of blade can be adjusted outside of combat.
Blade color can come in many varieties by swapping out the color lenses
STRENGTHS
This Bacta-Works Energy Rapier is part of a program for healthy recreational activity for refugees to sharpen their mind while putting their lives back together. Though happily sold to the Alliance, The weapon techniques are distributed primarily in academies for fencing being set up by the company. Emitting a pencil thin Robin's egg blue down to the core blade by default, the Rapier sells for three hundred credits, and is already finding enthusiasm from both amateur and champion fencers.

STRENGTHS
- The art of fencing: An extremely elegant cut and thrust weapon, talented fencers can make use of this in conjunction with complex footwork and cunning tactics to eviscerate lone opponents. Even those wearing heavy armors are possibly under threat, as it's pencil thin blade is perfect for getting through gaps in armor, and is omnidirectional
- En guard: The blade itself is based off those found in Vibro Voulges and Electro Bisento's, enabling it to block and parry lightsabers as well as other melee weapons. It's handguard also generates a mini energy buckler to further defend the hand from both blaster and melee attacks
- Adjustable: It's length can be adjusted from standard rapier length, to slightly above it, to half size, and then to dagger size. In addition, it's omnidirectional emitter can be swapped out for one that emits a double edge shaped, long flat blade that's slightly better for parrying, and cuts, and the color lenses can be swapped out as well to change it's color.
- Swing Speeds: The natural near weightless nature of the blade means very fast cut and thrust attacks
- Multi blast: The blade itself can't parry blaster bolts, and the energy buckler can only deflect blaster bolts from a single lone opponent, and only one firing on semi auto
- Cutting strength. It has the strength of a vibroweapon. A weak vibroweapon, meaning it takes multiple slashes to potentially get through medium and even more for heavy armor, making thrust attacks at joints and armor gaps almost a necessity to close the advantage between the user and an armored foe
- Parry/block limits: It can only parry a Lightsaber about a hundred times in a all out, relentless fight before the blade overloads and shuts off, and it cannot block a Lightsaber directly more than fourteen seconds, meaning the user has maybe seven to realistically disengage, making the use of its energy buckler a necessity against lightsaber wielding foes, but even that shield can only with stand a few hundred parries...and maybe twenty seconds of direct contact, meaning a more dedicated energy shield, or counter lightsaber weapon in the off hand may be needed, or even the user themselves just wearing an energy shield in case the rapier doesn't work out. (NOTE: Blade won't break from standard melee weapons)
- Power limits: Its battery can only remain continuously active before it runs out of power and must be replaced or recharged (NOTE: comes with two free rechargeable batteries via both plug in and solar charging)
- Flat blade weakness: The flat blade emitter makes it better for cuts and thrusts, but renders it's swing speed only fast instead of very fast due to gyroscopic force from the blade
