constructing the perfect lightsaber (Dev Thread)

[Darth Vyrassu]

Vyrassu takes his ship out of hyperdrive right over Mandalore. Vyrassu then activated the cloaking device on his interceptor as he entered the Planet. Vyrassu traveled as far away from civilization as he could to avoid attention. It was clear what he was here for. He wanted mandalorian iron for the base of his new hilt. He had the designs for this new double bladed lightsaber he was constructing.

Vyrassu lands his ship near an old mine and he figured the mind would be a perfect spot to mine for mandalorian iron ore. Once the ship was on the ground Vyrassu shut the engines down and stared or the cockpit window at the planets surface as he took a moment before standing up and walking to the back of the ship. Vyrassu meet with his four Imperial Shadow Troopers he brought along to help him.

Get this mining equipment of the ship. Get that mine open and let's get in there.

The troops nodding saying "Yes mi'Lord" . They begun unloading the equipment as Vyrassu walked off the ship looking around the land. After several minutes the imperial shadow troopers got the mine open and the equipment inside and carried it down the mine for about three miles.

The mining equipment was noted to be an energy charged Fusion Cutter, The machine could get about 12 ounces of ore within minutes. Maybe a items slow but it worked. The Imperial Shadow Troopers set up the machine near a mandalorian iron ore vein and turned the machine on. The machine was rather loud but it was working. Nothing left to do now but wait.....

After 30 minutes the machine had mined 4 ounces of mandalorian iron ore. Vyrassu begun thinking this must be strong ore if only 4 ounces got mined and this industrial fusion cutter was supposed to mine 12 ounces. Vyrassu knew way more would be needed so he nodded to his troops to keep mining for more. Vyrassu then walked a little ways down the mine and activated one side of his lightsaber. He knew he could not mine the iron with a lightsaber but he could cut it out of the walls and mine the dirt and rock of it later.

Vyrassu stuck his lightsaber into the dirt and rock around the iron ore and begin to cut it out. After 5 minutes he had carved out a 1 pound slab of ore. Now he would just have to work on cutting it out and mining it. Vyrassu pulled out a hand held fusion cutter and begun to mine the ore.

 

[Darth Vyrassu]

After a great time has passed Vyrassu had mined ore from the chunk he cut out. He got 3 ounces of mandalorian iron ore from that chunk. Vyrassu then walked back up to the troops and discovered the machine had now mined 4 more ounces. Vyrassu counted up the risk amount of ore from the mining project so far. 11 ounces. Vyrassu nodded needing more so he ordered the machine to continue. By his estimates he would need a good 2 pounds of this stuff. Then he would have to smelt the ore down, mold it and craft it. A long process but it would be worth it.
