SPECIAL FEATURES
Corrupted Songsteel (link): Songsteel was an extraordinarily light and luminescent silver metal, used in masterwork swords and staves. The metal was reserved only for the most exquisite of weapons, and was extremely tedious to forge and shape. Songsteel was highly resistant to lightsaber strikes in a manner similar to phrik and cortosis. Unlike typical songsteel, however, the metal used in this weapon has been tainted by the Dark Side of the Force during the forging process. Whereas songsteel as the name suggests released a song when struck, the metal used in the construction of this blade announces a far more sinister sound. Whenever the blade connects, it emits a sound equal to a bell toll; the announcement of the inevitable demise of those sentenced to be put to the sword.
Strengths:
+An Order For Force: Thanks to the materials utilized during the blade's creation, this blade is more than capable of going toe to toe with Force Users and their lightsabers. Furthermore, beyond all the fancy crafts and features, the sword is designed to be durable and capable of handling situations against Non Force Users in equal measure, at least within a CQC scenario.
+For Whom The Bell Tolls: The corrupted songsteel used for this weapon creates a harrowing cry whenever it connects with something; from the metal of a rival blade to the chest-plate of a rival combatant, the steel vibrates a sinister song akin to the toll of a church bell, a sign of the inevitable. Such a sound can strike a cord with some people, freezing them into a state of fear or simply causing them to turn tail and flee.
Weaknesses:
-Average Joe: Other than the materials and their effects, the sword itself is average in its size and weight; coming in as a weapon that sits on a balanced level. This leaves it with a short end of the stick against longer weapons like halberds and heavier weapons like two-handed swords.
-Something Wicked This Way Comes: Despite the usefulness of the corrupted Songsteel, there is no built in protection for the user themselves. Being a product of Dark Side sorcery, there is no doubt that the long-term effects on the wielder are just as tormenting, if not more, on those that the sword is brought down upon.
-Orchestra: The steel that the blade consists of and its corrupted song is not exactly quiet, it's in fact very loud. This makes stealth with this weapon rather difficult.
DESCRIPTION
When Vestille entered the chambers of one of the Sith Lords and gave a request for a sword to be made, the days that followed were no doubt going to busy. It was no secret that Vestille, the Commanding Officer of the 105th, was something of a grim reaper among the forces of the Sith Empire. In the public eye, he never tired, never faltered and never lost track on the true goal of keeping the citizens and servants of the Sith safe and those that would try to bring everything the Sith had built to ruin kept underfoot. It was with this request of a sword that the Sith granted the apathetic and zealous instrument of their will his wish. Within the forges of Bastion, the combination of corrupted songsteel and bone was shaped and bound to create a blade worthy to be wielded by such an individual. A harrowing howl to give with a bloody bite, the sword was officially presented to Thumahra during his promotion ceremony to Major.
The Reaper's Due was to be collected, one way or another. Thus the Executor was born.
