Darkswords, Lightsabers, Darksaber, Resistance to lightsabers.

Lightsabers have specific weapons that are resistant to their Plasma blades, and well I was reading up on Lightsabers and I saw that in their resistant items listing, a object called a "Darksword" and When I tried to look it up, it came up with things other than a dark sword. I saw things like the Darksaber which is clearly not the same thing.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=Darksword&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&ns14=1 <this is the search that I did.

I find things talking about a Dark sword, but I can't find an article about these weapons. and was wondering where I could find one?

The Darksaber is essentially a lightsaber that emmits in the form of a katana's blade rather than a cylinder. I'm not sure where it is as I haven't finished the Clone Wars, but as the clone ended some 850 years before the onset of SWRP: Chaos we can assume it isn't wherever it was last placed, and is probably lost to time. That doesn't mean you couldn't make one yourself, but that would have to be dev threaded(Perhaps multiple dev threaded) and it really doesn't have any benefits over a normal lightsaber. Save the durasteel crossguard, but that's of minimal use at best.

Another avenue if you want an actual sword rather than a lightsaber that looks like a sword is to find a Sith Alchemist and have him/her make you a Sith Sword. They're rather weighty though, and really don't have the same dueling ability of a lightsaber. Sure, you can add poisons, and the lightning absorption thing is nice, but losing omnidirectional slashing capability and the speed of weightlessness is a massive loss.
