SPECIAL FEATURES

• Non-Dimetris Circuits prevent the lightsaber from shorting out when it comes into contact with cortosis.
• Bifurcating cyclical-igniting pulse permits the lightsaber to operate underwater.
• Druetium and Songsteel mixed metal hilt to protect against EMP/ion disruption (druetium) and contact with other lightsabers (Songsteel).

STRENGTHS

• Non-Dimetris Circuits to prevent the lightsaber from shorting out when it comes into contact with cortosis.
• Bifurcating cyclical-igniting pulse allows underwater operation.
• Mixed metal hilt construction offers dual protections. Druetium protects against EMP/ion disruption, and Songsteel protects against contact with other lightsabers.

WEAKNESSES

• Like most standard lightsabers, its range is restricted to melee. Sure, it can be thrown, but it may not come back.
• Pretty straightforward design. No crossguard, no dual phase, no double blade, no hidden shoto. It's just a regular ole single bladed lightsaber.

DESCRIPTION
A simple lightsaber for a simple Jedi.

Raised at the Jedi Temple on Naboo, Hwo learned from an early age to shun the fancy and flashy in favor of simplicity. That mentality is largely reflected in one of his only possessions — his lightsaber. The core of his weapon is the green Kyber crystal he collected from the caves of Ilum as a youngling in training. During his time as a Padawan, Hwo encountered situations that rendered his first lightsaber useless, including run-ins with cortosis-laden opponents that nearly cost him his life. He constructed a new lightsaber with his original crystal, this time employing Non-Dimetris circuits to better combat the growing number of anti-Jedi melee weapons and armor spreading through the galaxy. He also added a bifurcating cyclical-igniting pulse to ensure his weapon could be used in all mediums, be his fight on land, in space, or underwater. As a more advanced Jedi, he had access to better materials for the hilt, employing a mixed druetium and Songsteel metal to protect the weapon against EMP/ion disruption as well as strikes from other lightsabers during duels.
