PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

SPECIAL FEATURES

Energy Blade with twin emitters at opposite ends crafted to be extremely difficult to break for ordinary lightsabers while retaining the cutting power of vibroswords

Miniaturized Electrical Capacitance technology allows it to absorb up to 7 blasts of directed electricity

Solar cell tech enables it to recharge in under seven minutes in an emergency via sunlight

Can be restored to minimal functionality with minimal parts

Built for immense durability and to operate in hazardous environments

Emitters connected to motorized track and power systems of the hilt, enabling blades to be rotated out of alignment with hilt direction, allowing for unexpected attacks

STRENGTHS

Come get me, Jedi!: This Double Bladed Energy Sword can make the claim of being extremely hard to break to ordinary Lightsaber blades, due to the mechanisms inside it that channel the energy from contact with the lightsaber and reinforces the beam strength (Note, this never weakens the Lightsaber) of the sword. Any Jedi or Sith fighting someone armed with this should be wary, as the blade would have to be hit literally thousands of times before it failed. Electrical Capacitance tech also ensures it can withstand quite a few blasts of lightning.

Cutter: Possesses the power of a Vibrosword fitted with a level three Vibration Cell, enabling it to easily cut through standard, conventional armors

Survival tool: Has Solar Cells that allow it to recharge an internal battery in seven minutes for up to two hours of continued use (Battery can other wise be swapped out for another fresh one, or wirelessly recharged by setting in in extremely close proximity next to a power device). It also contains a built in laser range finder and micro Electronic Compass

Rugged: Built to operate in hostile weather, even acidic environments, is hard to break, and easy to repair

Staff Position: The double bladed construction allows for more aggressive, unexpected attacks, which are further enhanced by its rotating track


WEAKNESSES

Sonics: The blade cannot stop sonic bolts

Slugthrowers: Slugthrowers cause splash damage against it

Paddle Beams: Paddle Beams bend around it.

Not a true Lightsaber: It's blades are flat, albeit double edged, and thus lacks a lightsaber's omni directional cutting ability. It also has weight to the blades when active, meaning it cannot be used as freely as a real Lightsaber could. Lastly, it cannot deflect or reflect blaster bolts, only absorb them, and then only up to 14 before it shuts down for 30 seconds to safely disperse the absorbed energy. Also it's not possible for it to operate underwater. It is incapable of melting through doors just by shoving it in. It possesses only the cutting power of a high quality Vibro Sword and no higher than that.

Package deal: When active, both blades are always on. One cannot just use one, which may make it more difficult to fight with in enclosed spaces. The hilt also presents a large target to attack

Precision: It allows for more aggression but less Precision, leading to more missed swings

Centrifugal: It's rotating track may allow the blades to be spun, but because the blades have weight to them while active, they come with the subsequent centrifugal force that comes with having weighted blades spin like that, the user must maintain supreme balance and control, lest the blades fly out of their hands and injure them or worse--easier said than done in the heat of combat, which leads to spinning the blades only very sparingly reposition the attack angles of the blades, and almost never as a primary attack method---the chances of a screw up are too costly. That said, any user who does become proficient using this feature is likely someone to be feared, as they are likely very difficult to predict combatants

Aggro: Carrying the blade marks one as a member of House Io, and brings with it the attention of dangerous enemies.


DESCRIPTION

One of the latest models in House Energy Swords, the Type 4 can be mass produced, due to it being based off the tech that preceded it, however, it's high learning curve and the deadly consequences of a mistake usually relegate it as a specialty order to ambitious fencers seeking not only one of the highest quality melee weapons in the Galaxy, but also one capable of turning them into a highly complex and unpredictable opponent.
